***WHY DO YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DISCUSS THE MEANINGS OF YOUR SONGS?
SCOTT STAPP:
For a Creed fan, they obviously bought the record and liked the song for a specific reason. Whether that be Mark's guitar riffs or Scott's drums or the groove of the music, the vibe, or the lyrics. Somewhere in there, they like-- they like the song. By giving away the meaning of the song or-- or any-- too much information about it, yeah-- I can change that person's interpretation of the song, if it's because they liked it for the lyrics.
Because if someone wants to think in their mind that that song is about this, because it made 'em feel this way, then I don't want to ruin that for them, because that's what has made the song personal in their lives. Just take it for what it's worth and-- and make it your own. And that's what we want our music to be. We want it to be personal to everyone who has it.***
