Letter from a Thief Lyrics

Cover art for Letter from a Thief lyrics by Chevelle

It's pretty obvious the song refers to the feelings and thought Pete had when their gear was stolen... Pete has said many times over that a majority of his songs are personal and about experiences he has had or the band has shared. When their equipment was stolen, no clues were left, the band was asleep at a hotel, and of course Pete was very upset. These ideas can be found in the song like "Faceless, so little there to judge," "Why lead if everybody sleeps, So few ways to, Cover up the old ruins," and "This sends us medicating Through it all" respectively.
