    “I was thinking about privilege and power and the idea that two people in a relationship can be coming from different ends of the spectrum when it comes to societal power. In our interpersonal relationships, we like to think of ourselves as equals and as individuals, but what we don’t often realize is that we have either the weight of the world on our shoulders, depending on how much privilege we bring to the table, or the support of the world to back us up. So I was kind of trying to address the idea that two people can be equals in the bedroom or at the dining room table when out in the world, they are not.”
    His quote about this song and video.

    🌾
    He who asks for much
    Has much to give
    I don't ask for much
    Just enough to live
    But in the light
    Morning will reveal the spoils of night
    Through the walls of jericho
    Lies a heart of stone
    With you, half the battle
    Is proving that we're at war
    I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    To whom much is given
    Much is required
    Luxurious liver
    You never inquire
    It ain't right, you see
    Who is your family?
    If I don't have tools to fight
    Calling this a quarrel isn't right
    Quoting this a quarrel
    So immorally implies
    We're equal opponents
    And we both antagonize
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel
    We cannot be lovers
    'Cause I am the other
    We cannot be lovers
    Long as I'm the other

    Im listening to this in 2020, and these lyrics have so many meanings to me. They clearly reflect the unequal relationship between human and animal, but ALSO the cop rasism in america. Now when people are protesting for black lifes, listen: ”He who asks for much has much to give” The police. ”I dont ask for much, just enough to live” Cops are killing plack people even if they dont do anything. Just live. ”With you, half the battle is proving that we're at war
    I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore” DAMN.”It ain't right, you see
    Who is your family?
    If I don't have tools to fight
    Calling this a quarrel isn't right” YOU SEE???
