I'm sure I've read a few of them, but has anyone ever collected Dev's explanations of his lyrics?

He doesn't really do much explaining in rgards to lyrical content. The best you can get is the expanded stuff on the Physicist disk. On the Terria digipak he is about to get into the lyrics and then he decides not to and changes the subject.

Greg is right...I dont think Devin has ever really explained exactly what the songs are about. He has given small facts about the meaning of odd things, but generally he only describes the vibe or 'colour' of the albums.

Alot of his lyrics , eps on his solo albums sound like pretty personal stuff. He probably wants the listener to find their own meaning in his songs; and many fans have

Yeah, I have my own interpretations of most of the songs (plus, the snippets of stuff you guys have mentioned)....just wondered if he'd ever done any explanations on here from time to time I might have missed...I always find it interesting to see how way off my interpretations of stuff are, haha
