I think that the internet is a beast of burden.

When I was young I was one of those kids that got pulled onstage at a Green Day concert. That was pretty awesome.

You feel like you want something, but you don't actually know what that is. I remember waking up the other night and really craving something, but not knowing what it is. That feeling has been prominent throughout my whole life. I think I try and fill that thing with lots of different things. I can't really stay still. I can't really not be stimulated. It's kind of a search of constant stimulation through other people, substances and stuff. I think that's what our lyrical content is about.

At the moment we're playing more stuff from our upcoming album which is really a departure from any record we've done.

So many characters are governed by the consequences of their actions, and I wanted to have a character who is the exact opposite.

The main reason we understand what we're doing is because we're the individuals doing it. One of the things that surprises me is that all the songs are about me, and it's cool that people care.

There's no coherent stylistic genre specific advice that I could provide.
