Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
I believe in my garden home,
And the chemicals I need to make it grow,
Later on, the glowing teeth,
Lessons learned in radiology
Choking on the tales of joy and bliss,
Broken sails, we should bale, but let's kiss,
I'll embrace the brewing thunder and let it take me under
I believe in the search of the fawn,
The forest creatures wild, but so am I,
The bloody noses, the broken arms,
Lessons learned well in mythology
Amaurosis, I belong in an asylum,
Abused yet confused what you like,
Tar angels await as I learn to hate,
This perfect world of my life
And the chemicals I need to make it grow,
Later on, the glowing teeth,
Lessons learned in radiology
Choking on the tales of joy and bliss,
Broken sails, we should bale, but let's kiss,
I'll embrace the brewing thunder and let it take me under
I believe in the search of the fawn,
The forest creatures wild, but so am I,
The bloody noses, the broken arms,
Lessons learned well in mythology
Amaurosis, I belong in an asylum,
Abused yet confused what you like,
Tar angels await as I learn to hate,
This perfect world of my life

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song is beautiful! the vocals are amazing
espiritual, deep and beautiful song. I love it. "I believe in my garden home, and the chemicals I need to make it grow" the language figures are so intelligent. awesome!
i don't believe that no one more will coment here! this song is awesome!
absolutely amazing. completely. very chilling.
The first verse seems so innocent that it remids me of a child reciting what they've learned in school. It makes me sad what kind of places children have to grow up in. "Tar angels await as I learn to hate this perfect world of my life"
"I believe in my garden home, and in the chemicals I need to make it grow"
I think the "garden home" is some kind of delusion or drug-induced hallucination. He "believes" in it; this can be interpreted three ways. First, he believes it literally exists. Second, he places his trust in it; he believes it will bring him happiness and fulfillment. Third, both the first and second options.
The "chemicals" he needs "to make it grow" may be drugs, either ellicit or medical. Maybe the speaker is a psychiatric patient 1) whose medications are actually worsening his condition // or 2) whose so-called medications are actually the cause of his problems // 3) who has been put into a delusional stupor by medication: he is "in his own little world"
I'm still trying to figure this song out really, I'll probably add some other comments later on. So try to help if you can.
