The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Josie, you're my
Source of most frustration
Forget when I
Don't meet expectations
Everything you wished came true
In the end we all blamed you
Even though, as they all know
You weren't the only one, two, three, four
Why do you still keep it around
When you know it brings me down, I'm hating everything
And I know that you've dated other guys
But I gotta wonder why you'd leave it out for me (shit)
Why am I still hanging around
When I know it brings me down, I'm hating everything
And you are getting rides home in his car
You're making out in his front yard, I'm hating everything
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
And if we can have another day
I've got so much left to say, I'd tell you everything
And I'll laugh when I think about the past
When I see you after class, you're hating everything
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
And she said, (na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
"I just forgot you were there" (na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
Please don't remind me, put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me, I wish that this would end
And I am not fine, last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine, why can't we just pretend?
And she said (na na na na na)

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
ahh, the joy of sharing screen names and then breaking up and knowing your ex's password and snooping in his things. nothing better.
