The playful title of this track is a reference to an episode of Adventure Time.

I hang my head for those
Who ain't been held too close
In times of pain
When the ceiling drips
The room's bathed in grey
Outside's a trip
For another day
I keep telling those
Expelling those
Negative hoes to go away
But it seems to grip
More everyday
Walls get taller
Self-medicate
"And how did you get this low?"
That's what the illness spoke
For every word they had to say
Better off just leaving me this way
Better off just to leave it
Guess this ain't a world that I dreamt of
How many hits can one bum take?
How many things can one boy make?
I wrap myself inside my duvet
You think those blue giants feel the same?
You think they ever have these days?
You think they ever have these days?
You think they ever have these days?

“(Don’t Let the Dragon) Draag On” is a reference to an Adventure Time episode I watched obsessively on tour. We’d get to a hotel, have a day off, and I wouldn’t go out. I’d just watch Adventure Time. I love it. I love the way it looks. I love the drawings and the way they move. And the audio is real...
On this album, I sampled an a capella she sent me of her song “Small Crimes.” I loved that song, and I loved how her voice sounded on it. I made some remixes of it for her, and then I just kept using it. I used her voice as an instrument on a lot of songs, cut it up and played it like a keyboard. On...
The song’s set in the darkness of the bedroom – a glint of light through the blinds. When I wrote it, that’s the location I was in. It’s about eternal illness or struggle, but I think the video represents that in an extroverted way – it’s melodrama.
