Interpretations Talk:Which Describes How You're Feeling

From This Might Be A Wiki

I would like to make a point here, for no one to see--- If you say that a song is about "nothing," then you might not understand what writing a song (or doing much of anything creative) really entails. It'd be nigh impossible to write a song or a story about NOTHING. Even if you write about nothingness, that's still a song about nothingness. You're still finding words in your head to consciously write on a page (etc) and that takes effort and intent. I don't think two guys as inspired and consistently creative as John and John would go through the effort to write, arrange, record, and release a song that's not about anything. You can not care and put no effort into making something, in which case it would probably sound like you hacked at it, and F/L have never done that to my knowledge. Just because something is complex, or seemingly nonsensical and without meaning, doesn't mean that it is void of meaning. I don't mean to soapbox anybody---
