the lyrics
If you look at the lyrics on a piece of paper, it’s not about politics. Not one politician is mentioned. As a singer-songwriter, what I do is write about how the human feels. You could call [this album] more personal politics — how a person, in their closest environment, has justice. That you’re not abused by your friends, or you’re not abusing your friends, or you’re not manipulating anybody and nobody is manipulating you. That you are making people laugh or people are making you laugh. Maybe on this album I got quite interested in justice. I wanted justice for people. For example, the track ’Declare Independence’ — the part about running on top of a mountain with a flag and a trumpet, and declaring independence. It could be about the girl next door or someone in a terrible marriage.
