Berlin is just an affordable European city that's supposed to be cool. There's nothing too deep about it.

I think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.

I like a narrative, even if it's fractured, or kind of psychedelic. But my favorite thing is if I hear words and I close my eyes and the connotations or the image I get in my head, combine with the sound of them - sometimes phonetics. I'm just stringing those together.

Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people.

Usually [the lyrics] go from one word to the next word - there's no finish line. The music was that way, too.

Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.
