"This song for a long time was just an instrumental song that I had written four years ago by myself. At the time I had nothing to say, but I felt like it was just a great riff on its own. I felt the music could breathe on its own without being [messed] up with vocals. And then later in stellastarr*, everyone liked the song.
At the time, I was really introverted and kind of a recluse. I couldn't really relate to a lot of the girls I was meeting. So I wrote lyrics to this song about a girl that doesn't exist -- from another planet. I felt that I could tag on those lyrics towards the end of the song so I wouldn't mess up the instrumental part. It sort of matched the mood for me because the song had kind of a space-like quality. "
