You know what, I think probably yes, but I think I do anyway... I mean, my own interpretation is obviously important, or as important, but we know each other so well and all the stuff that we talk about sort of infects Tim's writing anyway - and y'know, we're quite passionate people and we get fairly het up, I think recently especially about kind of issues on the way we all act as human beings.
I think everyone would probably, or most people would probably agree that its a fairly grim time in terms of humankind at the moment - we're sort of at a tipping point where I don't know and I don't think many other people know exactly where its going, and there's a lot of sort-of "philosophising" on the record and trying to sort-of work out who we are and what we should do next. And also just trying to explain some of the things that are happening around us and some of the crazy things that people seem to do... and what drives them to do those things, y'know - whether that's celebrity culture that we seem to have in our country, or (sigh) the lovely world of terrorism, corporations and superpowers. Those are things that we talk about, so they've infected the songs and from that perspective, I think I have a real grip on what Tim's written about and I would say they're songs that come from all three of us in a lyrical sense.

Crees que el significado detrás de las canciones de Keane es siempre claro?
Creo que una canción como ‘Is it any wonder?’, específicamente acerca de la guerra y ese sentimiento de impotencia de la gente joven viviendo en tiempos extraños, y yo asumí que la gente lo entendería inmediatamente, pero creo que probablemente mucha gente la consideró como una canción de amor o algo parecido… y de hecho nos tomó mucho trabajo y energía transmitir que es una canción sobre esos problemas de ser una persona joven en un extraño y a veces horrendo mundo.
Pero creo que en esta disco, sentimos que las letras son mucho más directas, creo que sentimos que sería difícil no entender de lo que estamos hablando. Creo que una canción como ‘Perfect Symmetry’, la cual creo que líricamente hablando es probablemente mi canción favorita del disco… de hecho es mi favorita del disco!, tiene un objetivo y un sentido muy claro, y un significado también. Creo que una vez que te sientas a ver las letras… o incluso las escuchas, sabrás inmediatamente de donde vienen. Pero aún no te diré lo que es, porque quiero que sea una sorpresa!
