"Here's the deal: Because of Twitter and other web sites over the last, whatever, eight years, especially in the last [couple of years], you can't say anything; it's instant.

I wrote "C'mon Levi" shortly after my sister Mia had her first son. I know personally how easy it is to look around and feel discouraged and maybe even like the task at hand is insurmountable -- whatever that task may be -- but then there are those brief moments of excitement/motivation that come like bolts of lightening and that's really what the song is about. Typically I'll write vaguely enough so that anyone could apply their specific situation to any particular song, but with "C'mon Levi" I decided to eschew the anonymity I'm more comfortable with in favor of a direct approach.

I'm also talking about that feeling like your clocks run down and now there are certain things you can't get away with anymore -- socially, politically, or personally and how, in my opinion, a critical aspect of "maturing" is the ability to pass that torch without regret. Needless to say, I've got a lot of growing up left to do.

It's called Until We Have Faces, and it's just about trying to find your true identity. Everybody kind of struggles with that growing up. You don't know who you want to be, especially when you're like 17. And you kind of what to go to college, but you don't know where you want to go or what you want to do with your life. Or if you're just in high school and you don't know who you are, if you're a loner or something like that, you just can't figure out what kind of person you are. Nobody really finds out who they are until they get a lot older. Basically all the songs are about finding your identity. For example, the song "Feed the Machine" was actually my idea content-wise. I thought it'd be cool to write about this crazy machine that the world is. Basically everybody buys everything, everybody wants to have a Mercedes, crazy things like that. Like you have to look a certain way, eat a certain way, and nobody really has their own identity. And they all just kind of give into this machine. That's basically what that song is about, and it kicks the record off.

The second track is called "Faceless." It talks about how we're all just kind of hollow inside, we don't have faces. We are anybody, just zombies basically walking around. And we just want everybody to find out who they are, just be themselves. Don't give into the world. Be who you want to be. It's kind of an anthem for everybody. Everybody can relate this. That's the cool thing, we want to reach anybody. It doesn't matter who they are � if they're 8-years-old or 72. If they're black, white, Asian, it doesn't matter, they can all relate in finding out who they are.

"We learned so much from making "Shallow Life" and working with a different producer [Don Gilmore; Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine] gave us a great starting point for this record. We want to bring everything we have to the table and just explore that. We're more inspired by the dark side of life than anything else right now, and I'm pretty sure the new album will be darker and heavier because of that.
