He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I've been lookin? at a photograph of the time
When life was so much simpler, oh, uh huh
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
didn't have a lot of things in life, wasn't much
But we sure had some fun, yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Lookin? back on things, you appreciate every day
The joy and the pain and the laughter, oh, huh, that's right
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
I kinda make you wish that we were still in love, love, love
So what, what I'm tryin? to say to you, is that I'm still in love with you
And I want a second try and what, and what I wanna hear from you
Is that you feel the same way too and that you're down with me
You're down with me, you're down with me for life, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, you're down with me for me, oh, yeah, yeah, ooh
I've been thinkin? ?bout some arguments that we had
That now seem, oh, so petty, yeah yeah, oh oh, yeah
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Lookin? back on things, it makes you feel kind of dumb
We wasted so much time, baby yeah, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Look around, you must appreciate everything
Our lives are full of blessings, yeah yeah
(Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
Kinda makes you wanna go back and get it
What, what I'm tryin? to say to you is that I'm still in love with you
(What I'm tryin? to say to you, I'm still in love with you)
And I want a second try and what, and what I wanna hear from you
(Yeah, ooh)
Is that you feel the same way too, and that you're down with me
(Do you feel the same way too, yeah yeah)
You're down with me, you're down with me for life, ooh, yeah, yeah
(Are you down with me, ooh yeah, yeah)
Ooh, yeah, yeah, you're down with me for me
I wanna write a brand new song ?bout you and I
And how we got through all of the storms and we survived
Yeah, we made things right and what
What, what I'm tryin? to say to you is that I'm still in love with you
(What I'm tryin? to say, I'm still in love with you)
And I want a second try and what, and what I wanna hear from you
(I want a second try, yeah, I wanna hear)
Is that you feel the same way too, and that you're down with me
(Do you feel the same way, down with me)

(You?re down with me for life, yeah)
Ooh, yeah, yeah, you're down with me for me

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
