its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
He's more farce than fodder
He's more of a dog than dogs are
It depends were just dots and commas
It'd still say you got one on us
There's no reason for it
Don't despise an don't adore it
It's just a habit
It's just a habit I formed
this ones a super sonic
This ones got too much on it
This ones off free
This ones him free
There's no reason for it
Don't despise it and don't adore it
Its just a habit
It's just a habit
this is what I hear, ill send corrections if need be
He's more of a dog than dogs are
It depends were just dots and commas
It'd still say you got one on us
There's no reason for it
Don't despise an don't adore it
It's just a habit
It's just a habit I formed
this ones a super sonic
This ones got too much on it
This ones off free
This ones him free
There's no reason for it
Don't despise it and don't adore it
Its just a habit
It's just a habit
this is what I hear, ill send corrections if need be

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Fodder, but pronounced to rhyme with "are" in the next line, because:
It's a sonnet: "this ones a super -sonnet-":
unconventional though: "this one's a freak"
I think in the end, he's saying he isn't trying to make any statements with his music or lyrics:
"there's no reason for it / don't despise it and don't adore it / it's just a habit"
