“It’s about losing your favorite person on the planet. That’s all I can say about it.”

“Lyrically, it’s inspired by a John Donne poem called The Flea, which I was studying in English class a couple of years ago. But I really liked the title “Howl.” It’s just a powerful word, it’s strong. But the subject matter, it has nothing to do with Ginsberg [Allen Ginsberg’s most famous poem “Howl” – Ed].”

“The song “Heart Attack” is a good example of it (to get people to see their lives and what they’re going through in a different way), where the first line is, “Come on, like anybody cares your mother died?” Like, “Come on, like no one cares you went to school, like, come on, like anyone cares you’ve got cancer.” So it’s basically a really, really abrupt way to say, Does a person in China really care what you’re going through right now?”
