NS: What do you think happens when you die?
LG: Everything’s going to be sweet once you go. Death is a cool thing. People go, “Death is bad.” Fuck off, death is life. Life is death.
LG: It’s simple. Death is a beginning. Of course life goes on. You can’t just go in a box and go underground. Your body goes. But we’ve all got the same bodies — legs, cheekbones. Everyone’s got them. But, fuck all [that], they’re useless. What makes you think, what makes your views, love, and all those things — that’s from your spirit.
NS: So do you think there’s reincarnation?
LG: I believe in soul or spirit, though I don’t know what it is. Maybe your soul and your spirit is yourself. You do your thing, and this world and this life here is the equivalent of hell. You are living in hell with loads of madheads who give you shit all the time. And I think you do come back. Reincarnation is cool as fuck, yeah. But I don’t want to come back here, to this shit. I don’t wanna do that.
NS: Where would you go instead?
LG: Well, I want to go to heaven, where you won’t get touched by this shit that goes on. And you’ll have to guide someone else who’s living here, who’s like fourteen years of age and has to go through this shit for the first time.
NS: Do you think you have a guide?
LG: I think someone’s guiding me. But wherever they are, they don’t know what to do with my life. They’re just going, “Fucking hell, heavy shit.” But as I’m speaking, my head’s going off, speaking to him, “Keep on doing what you’re doing, guiding me not to lose my plot.”
