“’Better’ is the last song on ‘The Terrors Of Comfort’ and for good reason; it offers a glimpse of hope after taking the listener through the unsettling world of vice and distraction. It’s a kind of an inverted love song – a song about saying goodbye to something or someone in order to better love oneself”
“Many times, when writing a song, the music and melody can inform the lyrics, or at least the theme. This song had an optimistic, expansive sound so I thought the concept could be about liberating oneself from that negative force mentioned in previous singles ‘Parasite’ and ‘Lie To Me’.”
