It’s about the fact you’re always in battle with yourself and looking to make peace with both of those sides. You want a big sign from the afterlife, a big bang or something that tells you, ‘Yeah, he’s OK, he’s gonna be fine.’ That’s something you’re always searching for.

SUPERNOVA

I wrote this song for my dad. He died last year in April. It’s about the fact, when somebody passes away, you hope they’ll give you a sign that they’re OK. This song is about you hoping to see this ‘supernova’, this super bright star. This super glow, like a sign from this afterlife.
