 If I write what seems like a depressed song, it usually makes me feel better. It’s hard to explain. When I was younger and listening to Killing Joke or Bauhaus or some other morose, dark and brooding music, I’d sit in a room, with the lights off, by myself. It never made me feel suicidal or depressed. I just liked it. It’s like seeing a horror movie didn’t make me want to kill my mother in the shower. But it’s exhilirating in a way. A person is most vulnerable when he’s writing lyrics and talking about how he’s insecure or depressed or bunmmed out. And when you’re being honest, it’s more exciting because it’s a little more dangerous.Â
