This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I believe it's about all the people who influenced/inspired Daft Punk. It would make sense given the title.
I've slowed the track down and pitchshifted it up to make sure but Sonds like Mike Devon to me too Tom Allen is Todd Edwards en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Edwards Steevio is CVO "Chicago's Very Own" Glenn Crocker discogs.com/artist/CVO Dave Clarke is in the house not Dave Carter... also the reason why the tune suddenly plays backwards when they mention Dave Clarke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaveClarke%28techno_DJ%29 is he has been known to play things backwards
Excellent work!
I can't believe how incredibly wrong this list is (On pretty much all other lyric sites too). This is my favorite lyric site though, so let's get it right on here. =)
This song is actually a sort of a tribute/remake of "Ghetto Shout Out" by Parris Mitchell(He's named in the song). See: youtube.com/watch A large number of these are Chicago Djs, all of them are major influences to Daft Punk. There are only three of these people that I either didn't change or couldn't find information on.

Can anyone figure out the last 3 for sure? I'm also not 100% sure on Brian Wilson, but I don't know which other Brian wilson they would be talking about.
I'm assuming all this song is is randomely naming off people who are "in da house".
This song makes me laugh, mostly because of the vocals.
I notice some of them as predominantly Funk Artists
It's not "Pat Melva in the house".
It's actually "Van Helden's in the house."
This is basically a shout-out to DP's influences.
Man, nothing get's past you all... Funk artists - yeah, DP really owes alot to funk, as do all electronic musicians. Like alot of their tracks, this is really stupid and simple, but still alot of fun to listen to.
Recipe: Take a vocal track, throw one up an octave and one down, each in one speaker, a simple beat and bass synth over it and voila! It is kinda punk really - hence their name. It probably took them 10 minutes to do.
And yes, very funky. I love those fat, swelling synths...
but what is the female vocal sample saying? "Teeach?"
I don't think she's saying anything.
Funk artists... yes... because as we all know, Dr. Dre is a funk artist.
iGod, was that sarcasm?
I hope not, ever heard of something called G-Funk? Yeah, that was Dr. Dre.
