“It’s about two things: the ending of a relationship and my own general way of thinking. Everybody experiences hurtful things and some people are sensible enough to not linger and to just move on. I was never that sensible. I tend to see the glass as half-empty. I am getting better though. This song was a bit of therapy for me, it’s really about never allowing yourself to feel happy because it only means you have that much deeper to fall. The unstableness of happiness versus the certainty of sadness.”
— Jonas Bjerre, about White Lips Kissed

“Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
— Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

“
Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
It answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.
”
