Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This one's called "Stella Was A Driver And She's Always Down
When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in that bad way, he-ey
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days
Days
Daze
Days
Daze
Days
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so tight, air-tight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella is a diver
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Crevices carressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella
Stella
Oh, Stella
Stella I love you, stella I love you, stella I love you
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right 'cause the sea was so airtight she broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea
She went down down down there down there for me, right on
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
Right on
It's so good
Oh yeah
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye
When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in that bad way, he-ey
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This some can't possibly be taken literally! I think this is a sexual dream, possibly brought on by drugs, about a woman falling through a manhole to an exotic and erotic place at the bottom of the ocean where she performs oral and other sex on the singer, which is a fantasy he is really enjoying.
