"To me, this is the saddest song I’ve ever made. I’ve been talking this whole time about this magic and spiritual thing that I tap into when I’m creating, but then part of me is like, “What if that’s just all made up? What if the only thing that’s happening is just shit?” That idea is really heartbreaking to me, but in that resignation there’s a peacefulness sometimes too. It’s all just happening, and that’s OK, and if my soul is just gonna stop when I die, then that heightens everything that is around now."
