Q: seems to me that "moviestar" is like a collage of similar middle man thoughts and desires, all put together, like it's lyrics that an AI did after reading people's essays of dreams and hopes. what are your thoughts on "moviestar" lyrics?
A: just tried to choose whatever lines were best for the song at each point. in some cases this means emotional. in some cases this means unexpected. any line could be in some way connected to the title, or not. emotions, hopes/dreams, aspirations, friendship, loneliness, they all factor in. most of the lines are questions and maybes, so there are oceans of room for the feelings to be projected any which way. movie star is a somewhat antequated phrase so it was fun to play around with. tried to keep it abstract but make the feelings still feel real, which always feels like a magic trick if you can pull it off, so that's a target i frequently try to hit in songwriting
