WW: There’s always a danger of reading too much into lyrics – but there are some on the new album that listeners may interpret as being you guys talking about yourselves. Like in “The Other Side,” where there’s all this talk about “saviors” and dragging people from where they are to where they belong. Was that any kind of a comment to fans – a way of saying they may not be sure about where you’re taking them, but they’ll like it when they get there?
RS: No, actually – although that’s quite close. It’s actually the closest so far. No, it was actually sort of a semi-jab at the whole major label experience.
