I don't actually like explaining the meanings of my songs, because I think people can take away more from it if they use their imagination.

Normally, I don't like explaining songs. I don't want to kill anyone's interpretation or the story they want to make for themselves.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

It's very hard for me to think about my songs and attribute some significance to them.

It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time.

I'm not really good at anyone's songs but my own.

Most of my songs aren't about me. They're about stuff I've seen.

My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.

Songs are a way to express what I have felt. A way to understand what happened to me or to other people.

I always prefer other people's interpretations over my own, so I'm not very quick to make explicit what exactly a song or record is about.
