"We're following this character Devaren as he's talking about his disdain for the population and how he can't stand them, but at the end of the song he has this reflective moment where he actually regrets everything he's been doing."
"In 'Mind Control,' Devaren represents the depression that has crept into my life over the years that I didn't see coming. I just had to personify that in a character so in 'Mind Control' it has taken over, but ultimately in our story it will be defeated."
"I've spoken about my struggles with depression and neurodivergent issues before. When I finished writing this record, I looked back at these characters I've created and realized I'd written the most autobiographical record of my life, which wasn't conscious as I was writing it."
"The interesting thing about the characters in this story is that they represent a different part of my neurodivergence and mental health journey."
