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.
Since the beginning, I stood my ground
I stuck to my promises, what goes around comes around
Untamed by nature, rebellious by heart
My life's my manifest, I am a state of the art
Make me immortal, venerate me and rejoice
Let my second death be halted, be my endless voice (my endless voice)
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
I talked the big talk, I backed it up
Delivered the goods when the saboteurs told me to stop
I walked through fire when I walked the walk
Make sure that my second death never breaks out of its lock
I lived a noble life and practiced what I preached
To the sound of my own drum, I was always out of reach (always out of reach)
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Say my name, be my last battle cry
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Say my name, be my last battle cry
Light my flame, on the forever sky
I stuck to my promises, what goes around comes around
Untamed by nature, rebellious by heart
My life's my manifest, I am a state of the art
Make me immortal, venerate me and rejoice
Let my second death be halted, be my endless voice (my endless voice)
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
I talked the big talk, I backed it up
Delivered the goods when the saboteurs told me to stop
I walked through fire when I walked the walk
Make sure that my second death never breaks out of its lock
I lived a noble life and practiced what I preached
To the sound of my own drum, I was always out of reach (always out of reach)
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Say my name, be my last battle cry
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Say my name, and I will never die
Light my flame, on the forever sky
Say my name, be my last battle cry
Light my flame, on the forever sky

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Says Hammerfall frontman Joacim Cans of this song "Lyrically it\'s dealing with the fact that we die twice! First when we take our last breath and second when someone says your name for the last time. Say my name and I will never die!" Just a note, this track also features towards the end a guest vocal by the iconic Danish rock musician/ vocalist \'King Diamond\'.
