The lyrics are what I work on the hardest, but I'm not trying to make a perfectly clear message or anything like that. In fact, I'm usually trying to avoid saying something too directly, because usually that rings false anyway.
A lot of my lyrics are approximate meaning without me knowing why they sound right.
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
A lot of the lyrics I write involve images that just swing the song in a way that feels really good to me and there isn't a literal explanation. They're not riddles for the listener to solve.
