We've learned over the years that if we wanted we could write anything that just felt good or sounded good and it didn't necessarily have to have any particular meaning to us. As odd as it seemed to us, reviewers would take it upon themselves to interject their own meanings on our lyrics.

If we liked it, we would keep our mouths shut and just accept the credit as if it was what we meant all along.
