On things like "Labyrinth"

This is conversation I would most likely have with a random person at my school. Let's call them... Meghan.

Meghan: Like O.M.G! You're song the labyrinth was soooo cool. I mean I sooo want a boyfriend to come take me out of my labyrinth. Because I'm like always overthinking shit and stuff.

Z: It's not about love. I wrote more with the idea of socializing in mind. A lot of people just sit around and wait to be included, but it's the same thing in every aspect of life, you have to be active about the life you want. And I'm pretty sure everyone overthinks things now. Which makes me feel less weird about myself. Yay!

Meg: But wasn't the labyrinth about loneliness and heartache?

Z: No. It was about pride and thinking, "Those people over there are like me, so I'll just not talk to them." The labyrinth is the wall between ourselves and everyone else. It's there because we think we need to be guarded against the world (or the world from us...either way, you know some people....). Lovers or friends, each moment is an opportunity to step a little out of our personal labyrinth and explore someone else's.

Meg: That sounds complicated and depressing.

Z: ...because it isn't simple like your poppy, main stream love songs?

(Which I don't hate by the way. I just prefer my music to like...make me feel something complex.)

Meg: Is all your stuff like this?

Z: Yep. And everyone thinks it's about me, being emotional and needing to be loved. Tsk tsk people out there. Tsk. TSK. I like things to be...dark and light I guess. Simple with a twisted variable to make it my own. I like my subjects of choice to be seemingly depressing/dark/simple/bright with something that balances out that borderline "um...wtf" potential.

So...yeah.
