“A lot of my songs are about death and the fleetingness of life. It just feels good to remind myself about that a lot. For whatever reason. And it's a beautiful thing, actually. It seems to me like it's a beautiful way to live in the world and to relate to things, with an awareness of temporality.” WorldWayFeelsReasonSeemsBeautifulSongAwarenessFeel GoodRelateBeautiful ThingsWay To LiveTemporality Author:Phil Elvrum
“It's a beautiful idea to focus on how everything is temporary and always in flux. It may feel bad now, but it will feel good later, and vice versa. To write about those things brings this satisfying feeling as a creative person. There's a lot of music out there that's like, "I'm so mad! I'm sad! I'm into skulls and crossbones and the color black," and that's just meaningless and shallow. So much of metal is about that and it's hard to find metal that is substantial and meaningful in terms of its content.” WritingFeelingsBeautifulBlackTermCreativeFocusMadMeaningfulFeel GoodTemporaryMeaninglessMetalsShallowFind Me Author:Phil Elvrum
