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.
I can feel you, I can hear you, howling in my bones
There's an evil lurking in the dark (there's an evil lurkin' in the dark)
Ever shifting, skin is ripping, as you take control
I can't tell where you end and where I start (there's an evil lurkin' in the dark)
A ferocious diagnosis, under moonlit hands, will
The man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
'Cause it's fight or fright, in the full moonlight
You can run but you can't hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But no one can break my heart like I can
(Werewolf)
Bleed the neon from the bite marks, ever bittersweet
Smile for the camera but don't flash your teeth (everybody loves a mystery)
Let the bodies hit the dance floor to this heartbreak beat
I feel like somebody's watchin' me (feels like everybody's watchin' me)
Seductively destructive, we are true romance
Does the man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
'Cause it's fight or fright, in the full moonlight
You can run but you can't hide
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
But you can't break my heart like I can
Can't fight these cravings in the night
A beast who's burdened by his bite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(You can't break my heart like I can)
Can't fight these cravings in the night
Moonwalking, feed the appetite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(No, you can't break my heart like I can)
And in the pale moonlight, a debt to be paid
For one must suffer for all eternity
Nothing lasts forever, even guilty pleasures, ah
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive
Don't wanna feel
I could be honest, I could be human
I could become the silver bullet in your head
Oh
Can't fight these cravings in the night
A beast who's burdened by his bite
Can't fight these cravings in the night
(No, you can't break my heart like I can)
Can't fight these cravings in the night
Moonwalking, feed the appetite
Can't fight these cravings in the night

There's an evil lurking in the dark (there's an evil lurkin' in the dark)

A ferocious diagnosis, under moonlit hands, will
The man become the monster or the monster become man?
I could be up all night, but I'm paralyzed when the creature comes alive

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Chris “Motionless” Cerulli on this song: I think this is the band’s favorite track on the record—it’s definitely mine. We wanted to create an iconic Motionless song. We feel like we have a lot of good songs, but we don’t have an iconic song yet. This was an effort to create something that felt like you’d never heard anything like it but branded as Motionless' icon song. It’s very Michael Jackson- and very Muse-inspired, which are two very different but very similar artists in our opinion. We wanted to do something that felt like Motionless joining them.
