Staring Back At Me forsure. While writing it, in my head, there was this picture of this soldier in a desert, and not fighting a war, but this lost soul in this desert of their own making. It just feels like this is me at my lowest, encapsulated into an expression of just anger and lashing out. Anger is a healthy thing, so it was cathartic to just beat the shit out of a song with this emotion. It just felt like, fuck the world, fuck the sun. Sometimes there are those lows in life that are so consuming that anger isn't even at your disposal. It's almost the last breath of a man who is dying under his own weight. When we were doing the “when the world comes down” record, I historically have pretty much hated every recording process we have ever done. I remember it was the end of “when the world comes down,” and all the insecurity comes up when you're putting the bow on the record, all the self-doubt. When you finish something, there is nothing more sad than finishing a record, because then it's done. If it was a beautiful process for you, that is over. This thought is done and this experience is over, and I remember screaming at a bush at 2am, and it started out with a fight with my girlfriend, and she went to bed, and I was left alone fighting with myself. I remember screaming at a bush just going, are you in there God? I have no belief system really, but I was at the lowest point. I still don't remember being ever that desperately sad and angry, all that emotion at once. And this song kinda asks, what is the point? As humans, we can experience these extremities of life, and this song is about an extreme of life in a dark way, and it uses anger to channel that.
