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.

Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.

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.

I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It's fun to see what they'll say it is.

Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience.

And I like to interpret music. So I think it's all interpretive.

I get the lyrics of a tune and interpret them my way.

I just love storytelling. I write music to tell stories. So when I'm done writing a song, I take it and go, 'Okay. How can I interpret these lyrics differently?' I love taking lyrics that were so close to me at a certain point in my life and then revamping them. I always want to take things to the next level.

It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.
