The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
I like Charlie Daniels and
I love big John Cash
And I think Waylon "Woktosha" Jennings
Is a table thumpin' smash
Playin' with Marshall Tucker Band
Was as good as smokin' grass
But if you don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I love all them Allman Brothers,
Merle Haggard, and George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them
Rockin' rollin' Stones
Everything the Eagles do
And I'm in love with Linda Rondstat
Anybody that don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I ain't sayin' that he was
The first or the last
But if you don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
I love big John Cash
And I think Waylon "Woktosha" Jennings
Is a table thumpin' smash
Playin' with Marshall Tucker Band
Was as good as smokin' grass
But if you don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I love all them Allman Brothers,
Merle Haggard, and George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them
Rockin' rollin' Stones
Everything the Eagles do
And I'm in love with Linda Rondstat
Anybody that don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass
Cause I think what they done
Is well worth doin'
And their doin' it the
Best way that they can
Oh you're the only one
That you are screwin'
When you put down what
You don't understand
I ain't sayin' that he was
The first or the last
But if you don't like Hank Williams
You can kiss our ass

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
This song is written by Kris Kristofferson and it is directed to his mother who disowned him when Kris ditched the being a captain in the Army, The teaching English gig at US Army Academy {West Point} and what tended up to be his family in lieu of going to Nashville and landing a job as a janitor at Columbia records while chasing his dream of being a songwriter.
