Today, I watched a man die in a hole from the comfort of my home
Five lines: four lyrics and one interview. Wisdom is the most common theme (3). The lyrics all carry a documentary edge, from All These Worlds Are Yours, about watching a man die on screen from the comfort of home, to Corinthians, about what it costs to live and hide behind eyelids. Jumpscare gets two lines, both about history as a snare. The interview line is a statement of purpose: he doesn't make music to comfort people.
I don't make music to make people feel comfortable or reaffirm all the things that they already thought
If you listen to a whole album and never had to question one of your beliefs or your opinions about the world, or yourself, then you weren't really listening
You don't wanna know what it cost to live
What it cost to hide behind eyelids
I'm caught
History is a snare
History is a snare struggling, rope ever more taut
On my death bed, chuckling about all that time I bought
