@ Lordzio - mnie zaintrygowałeś, możesz rozwinąć?
Wystarczy spojrzeć jak ewoluowały teksty z płyty na płytę. Weźmy np. kawałek tekstu z płyty "City":

No i kilka wycinków z wywiadów (w miarę chronologicznie):
Devin: Yeah, when I was really younger and everything, I was into things like philosophy, religion, the occult, and I was really into drugs. In a combination of all of those things…. [Starts to clarify] I mean no hard drugs, weed, mushrooms, and things of that nature, right.
Karma: How has your songwriting changed since the days of Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing?
Devin: I think it’s more personal now. I think that when I was doing that first record it was just like, “WAHHH” [Rolls eyes in back of head] Now it’s more like, ‘Fuck me! ‘I’m a fucking idiot!’ I mean human beings aren’t that fucking clever. For a long time [I thought], I’m an alien. Then I was like, “No, I’m NOT!” [Laughs] I’m just a fucking…I’m just a person, right. You know I do so many things to myself that on the contrary to what I think I should be doing, you know what I mean.
To prepare for the new album (mowa o Alienie), Townsend stopped taking the medication prescribed to treat his bipolar disorder.[32] "I think that as an artist, in order for me to get to the next plateau, I kind of feel the need to explore things and sometimes that exploration leads you to places that are a little crazy," he explains. "And Alien was no exception with that."[33]
At the end of the day, man, I'm just tired, and old, and bald, and fat, and grouchy, and bored. You know? So I was just like, I'm going to make this record, and do this stupid Ozzfest thing, and tell a bunch of stupid jokes in front of a lot of people at Download, then I'm just going to fuck off for a while. The bigger this gets, the less I care, to the point where I just need to go spend some time with my family. I don't wanna bastardise Strapping and all these other projects by doing it for the money. Strapping was about the big middle finger, and it still is, but I don't think it needs to go any further than this.
(o końcu SYL) Well, this might get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. Should I be on tour while I have a newborn baby at home? My wife is pregnant, so should I be far from home drinking booze and pretending that I care about heavy metal? In how many different ways I can say that I don't care? In how many ways I can say that I'm through with this thing? I said I'd make five records, [and] I did them. We are now doing a European tour, playing some big shows. Fine. We'll do Ozzfest; those are big shows too. We don't need anything else, in my opinion. . .
No i w sumie już nie taki "young lad" z niego
Uprzedzając pytanie - tak, siedzę w pracy i cholernie mi się nudzi
