00:00:05
with Deja Voodoo and you're kind of like
00:00:07
doing almost like a parody of what a
00:00:09
rockstar should be was that an impostor
00:00:10
syndrome almost hiding behind these
00:00:12
person of someone that was saying the
00:00:13
other day can you sing completely
00:00:15
without irony and if you can then that's
00:00:17
awesome cuz for the longest time I
00:00:18
thought you know uh being genuine and
00:00:20
Sincere was there was something wrong
00:00:21
with it but actually sincerity is the
00:00:23
hardest thing to find it was all hiding
00:00:26
from who I was lying basically like
00:00:28
lying about who I was and what my
00:00:30
history was and and everything so I must
00:00:33
have been ashamed of it for some reason
00:00:34
like I think also that comedy music is a
00:00:37
real Cop Out and because you can easily

say it's like the kid that doesn't try
00:00:40

00:00:43
we're just a silly band we're not a real
00:00:44
band if you actually write a real song
00:00:46
with real emotions where you actually
00:00:48
touch people emotionally that's freaking
00:00:51
