Interesting things always happen when I write lyrics.
I often say that my lyrics get there before I do.
I write whatever is closest to the surface at that moment.
I’m not trying to dig deeper while I’m writing.
Days, or sometimes months later, everything connects into a single thread.
On the other hand, there are things I’ve always wanted to say.
They’re the very things I can never put into words.
Then, when the time is right, the words come.
They arrive in words I never would have chosen myself.
There’s something mysterious about that.
It doesn’t say much.
Yet somehow, it gives clear language to something I know with complete certainty.
I call it interpretation.
