The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
The path is long, it's cold and wet
Desire paths will lead you quicker here than the rest,
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time, you're gonna pick up one that feels
A little hard the wind lays heavy, it weighs in stone,
My instinct tells me I should walk this path alone
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time, you're gonna pick up one that feels
A little hard
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
Footsteps have traced this land before
My skin is hurting, I cannot feel my feet anymore
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time,
You're gonna pick up one that feels a little hard
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
Yeah it flickers. It flickers
It flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
Flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers, it flickers
It flickers, it flickers in my head
In my head now
Can't get rid of it in my head no
In my head now
In my head now oh oh oh
In my head
In my head now
In my head
In my head now
In my head
Hey hey
Hey hey, hey oh
In my head
Flickers in my head
You'll flicker in my head
Flicker in my head
You'll flicker in my head
Desire paths will lead you quicker here than the rest,
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time, you're gonna pick up one that feels
A little hard the wind lays heavy, it weighs in stone,
My instinct tells me I should walk this path alone
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time, you're gonna pick up one that feels
A little hard
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
Footsteps have traced this land before
My skin is hurting, I cannot feel my feet anymore
And you can hope for a life that is calm
But come in time,
You're gonna pick up one that feels a little hard
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
And every time I go to bed
An image of you flickers in my head
And every time I fall asleep
An image of you flows in my dream
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
Yeah it flickers. It flickers
It flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
Flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers in my head
It flickers, it flickers, it flickers
It flickers, it flickers in my head
In my head now
Can't get rid of it in my head no

In my head now
In my head
Hey hey
Hey hey, hey oh

Flickers in my head
You'll flicker in my head
Flicker in my head
You'll flicker in my head

Word Alive, The
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.

@[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.

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.
