I think of art in weird terms
I really believe that art and expression should be limitless
And you should be able to explore themes that are grotesque or dark
And engage with those thoughts and just put them down and look at them like they are
'Cause at the day of the day you aren't your thoughts or your feelings
Your actions are the most important things about you
And I think “CANADA” for me was a good sign of that
That song came out of a dark place and I put it out into the world and I love it
But at the same time that's not me, I think through that I figurеd out a lot about my art
And a lot about these fucked up thoughts that I can havе and that we all have
I think it's important to engage with those and at least try and sort 'em out, try and do something better
I think on a song like “TTYL” that's me at my rawest
I wrote that song shortly after my ex got engaged and it finally felt
It finally felt like I was able to let go of a situation that was super dark and cloudy and fucked up
In a very beautiful way
And that's what this project's about, it's like
Although you have these dark thoughts or feelings or bad days
As long as you don't encompass that in your being, that's not you
This is MISOGYNY
