‘Getting Out’ is about thinking you mean the world to someone but realising actually you don’t, they were sick of you without you ever knowing it
‘Cigarettes’ is about the idea of “fucking up” all the time, ”
‘Chainsaw’ is about a dysfunctional relationship that is more destructive than good, but can also be applied to mankind’s gravitation to the bottle.
‘Impossible’ it is simply about putting everything down, and whilst its subject matter is sad, its shuffle is infectious.
‘For Your Money’ documents his relationship with his adopted home. it’s bombast is more uplifting than depressing, with Sean Lennon channelling his father’s spirit on a rousing guitar solo and a reprise that screams of hope and not despair.
