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.
They say believeing is what we see
Though faith we sell
You want reward beyond where you lay
Look where we tell
Have you been searching for an answer
To what you hide?
Well keep your soul and your devotion
In us confide
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
We are the friend you can trust in now
We are your grace
Nobody else will dare question us
This power saves
You haven't seen beyond the real world
We'll take you there
But not before we hear you confess
And say our prayers
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
We can deliver you
Four winds come into view
Breathe deep of our beliefs
The cult knows you'll never leave
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
Though faith we sell
You want reward beyond where you lay
Look where we tell
Have you been searching for an answer
To what you hide?
Well keep your soul and your devotion
In us confide
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
We are the friend you can trust in now
We are your grace
Nobody else will dare question us
This power saves
You haven't seen beyond the real world
We'll take you there
But not before we hear you confess
And say our prayers
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult
We can deliver you
Four winds come into view
Breathe deep of our beliefs
The cult knows you'll never leave
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult

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.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
No offense to anyone, but I take this song to be about Christianity.
"They say believing is what we see though faith we sell You want reward beyond where you lay? Look where we tell"
They are saying that it is funny how people use the term "I'll believe it when I see it", though many are dead set on the idea of a God who has never showed himself existing. The people who worship this "God" believe that they will live in an eternal life of bliss after they leave this earthly realm. Thats the main jist of the first verse from what I gather, and the first 4 lines say it all.
" We are the friend you can trust in now We are your grace Nobody else will dare question us This power saves You haven't seen beyond the real world We'll take you there But not before we hear you confess And say our prayers"
The first 4 lines of this states how many Christian religions believe that their way is right, and anyone who believes differently is sadly mistaken. The second part is essentially saying "You will go to heaven, but you must confess all your wrong doings and pray to the same God as we do and worship him, or you will go to an undesirable place."
That is ultimately what that verse is saying. It's a mockery.
"We can deliver you Four winds come into view Breathe deep of our beliefs The cult knows you'll never leave"
This is saying that a church and it's memebers can assure you are free of sin, but you must kiss their asses in order for that to happen. Fall into their beliefs, practice their prayers, they praise, their chiors, and you will be sent to heaven. They know that any gullible human being will subscribe to this and live in fear of ever leaving their beliefs, believing that if they don't, they will they will burn for eternity.
This theory of this song' meaning is kind of confirmed by the next song, "Eternal Empire".
