This is a really helpful interview because it gives a lot of insight into Jon's ideas and concerns, especially as the main lyricist. Well done on your choice of questions!
I adore this interview in every possible way - the editing, the questions, the mood... just unforgetable! Thank you for doing it, and sharing it. The more I find out about this band, the more I view them as not just a music making group, but as The Band, you know? They have a message, they have their own minds and they are hecking amazing.
As he says, some songs have double or even triple meanings or he's even 'being sarcastic' and hasn't told anyone! On top of that I find 90% of each EE song's lyrics completely bonkers and indicipherable in any case. I'm a grown man but I can't work it out. So I'm well and truly KNACKERED. I do already know that society is doomed, the empire is about to fall and this is just the start so maybe I don't NEED to understand the lyrics cos I'm living through it already. Jonathan needs to express it, I realise that. But I don't need to learn from it personally. I'm already shitting myself. Fortunately the music has always been SO GOOD so that's ok then.

Incredible interview!! Get to Heaven was my introduction to EE and they made such a huge impact on me over the past years 💜

Not only you are the bad guy, you also owe us money ok? about...four hundred million RMB. LOL
Jon, try getting into the mind of a crisis actor instead. Much more interesting!!!
You're too right, it would be EXTREMELY difficult to get into the head of someone who doesn't exist!
how vile it is that victims of terrorism aren't even given the decency of being believed
He mentioned something about that in a song on their most recent album
