I think meaning is something that's really unnecessary in music, at least for me.
I was going through a period where I was just trying not to write songs and was thinking maybe I wouldn't play in a band and make records anymore.
I would drive through the desert, and there's this one spot in the desert that, every time I drove through it, I would get crazy ideas. I would either sing into the cell phone recorder or I would sing into a DAT machine.
