Thematic Exploration

“You can’t really tell if it’s a sunset or a sunrise and then You’ll see two people kind of separated standing in front of it. That really kind of sums it up thematically when I listen to it. Is the beginning of something new, or is this the end of something? And the sunset and the sunrise always kind of feels that way to me. It could be either/or.”
