“’Bones’ is a really private tune for me, however I feel its lyrics can resonate with anybody. I’ve at all times appreciated artwork that permits individuals to derive their very own which means from it. That being mentioned, it’s mainly about being haunted by the ghosts of your previous, particularly for those who refuse to face them.
Musically, I feel it showcases a few of our greatest qualities as a band, and as particular person songwriters. We like to jot down catchy riffs and grooves that make individuals wanna transfer, and I feel we completed that with this tune. Even for those who don’t care what it means, you may headbang to it and it would get caught in your head—identical to these ghosts.”
