"Music has the beautiful luxury of being able to mask ideas and put them in a frame and put them in a sphere of context that would never otherwise exist. So, while I’m talking about issues that I think are heavy or intense or sad or rage-influenced, they’re framed in a way where the music is very inspirational and uplifting to show that it’s not without change; it’s not without focus and future."
