Complete lyrics ➡

All of my lyrics are based on the one thing that's never failed me, and that's the Word of God. ➡

For several centuries what has passed for song in literary circles was any text that looked like the lyrics for a commonplace melodic setting. ➡

I have this theory, bands with enigmatic lyrics attract crazies. ➡

A song is a song. But there are some songs, ah, some songs are the greatest. The Beatles song 'Yesterday.' Listen to the lyrics. ➡

I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from. ➡

I want to make an album with just great beats and big vocals and just amazing lyrics. ➡

We don't analyze our lyrics. ➡

Most of the lyrics are over a year old, and it doesn't feel like it's about me. Time created a distance. ➡

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation. ➡

I grew up Catholic, so I have these defenses about listening to anything with too much religiosity; some of the lyrics didn't sit well in my mouth. One of my beefs is the patriarchal setup. Having the 'he, he, he, God, God, God, king, king, king' stuff was hard for me. ➡

I create my own lyrics. I have a great band. I have a drummer from East Berlin. ➡

Lyrics are tough for me and I never feel like theyre quite done. ➡

She like a beat that makes me wanna grab the mic. She like the lyrics that I wanna recite. ➡

Like the song Stereo, to me thats like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. Theres some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasnt really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rocknroll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives. ➡
