Kerrang!
The schooling system we have in the Western world is crazy – you’re taken away from your parents at your most impressionable age and fed a load of bullshit and lies manipulated to make you think that the way we live in the West is stable and moral, when really it’s neither. You come out of school with a one-track mind based on financial success; you’re encouraged to become enslaved to the banking system. In school, I always felt, ‘Something’s not right here’ and I’m starting to find out what it is. Being outside of the norm gives you freedom of thought and that’s something being suppressed in school and the media. If you have freedom of thought you get labeled as a crazy person or someone strange.

Вы не можете это сделать в обычной жизни, потому что вас скорее всего посадят, но в песне это как раз можно сказать. Это неискаженная версия того, какой я на самом деле. Для меня в этом есть что-то истинное.

I think the way I am onstage is probably who I really am. Everything else is a persona. If you’re doing well you’re tapping into things that you’re unable to express in normal life – deeper feelings, more intense emotions and things that are not acceptable in society, maybe. When you’re being frisked in an airport you want to say, “Fuck off, don’t touch me, you cunt.” You can’t do that in real life because you’d probably get locked away, but you can say that in a song. It’s an unedited version of who you are. For me there’s something pure about that.
