Whats so amazing about Cedric is his ability to write lyrics that could mean anything to anyone at anytime... there is no wrong and no right way to interpret them. What these lyrics meant to HIM at the moment of him writing them was - 'On the new record we have a song about it called “Quarantine.” A couple high schools next to the Rio Grande - one called Bowie High - close to the border, the kids who go there get hassled by the Border Patrol left and right who don’t realize that (the kids) are just going to high school and not crossing illegally. The reason why the song’s called “Quarantine” is because I see these maids working for nothing, risking their lives to come over. They’re treated like nothing; like germs and diseases. Going over to Guatas to drink and shit when you’re younger, you see a lot of fucked up shit. I come from this nice suburb, but I get on the roof of my house and I can see the shantytowns with cardboard houses. It’s black and white.
