"I was just trying to talk about different perspectives from the world and why people do terrible things to each other. It started out, to me, feeling like you’re helpless. It felt like everything is so much bigger than you—there are people above you no matter where you go. That kind of control of what you can and can’t do. It’s really not meant to be political as it might sound—that’s just never been our band. But it’s that feeling that things are out of your hands. I wanted it to have this dark, ominous feeling."
