 "[...] Yeah, what was it about? Every now and then someone tries to explain what they got from it, and I tell them they're right. But in reality it was an unusual thing for me, a song built on the chorus, with the words following the music, building with the rise of the chords. I could say it's a song about the archetype of hitting rock bottom and coming back up, but it's above all a text made up of sounds."
