This album, like all of my albums, is about love. It’s concerning the ache love brings whether or not you might be with or with out love. Ache finds you and tells you candy issues like ‘you’ll develop from this’, or ‘you wouldn’t have realized this with out understanding me’. Ache has some extent that means ache has course.

Why should I attain all-time low to understand the rock on the backside and the truth that Earth acquired me if no one else does.
Hope can really feel like a jail or drugs. I need to perceive every thing. Why I really feel the best way I really feel and why it hurts so dangerous. How am I in a position to speak about one thing that after wouldn’t dare exit my mouth with out vomit following shortly after. I’m interested in life, particularly my very own and this album explores that. It’s okay to remain in a spot/frame of mind/being, simply don’t overstay. I’m continually in a state of arrival and departure. It must finish and love must say goodbye. It’s simply the way it goes and that’s the reason I consider gratitude is extra of a drugs than hope is.
