“’Bones’ is a really private track for me, however I believe its lyrics can resonate with anybody. I’ve at all times appreciated artwork that permits folks to derive their very own which means from it. That being stated, it’s mainly about being haunted by the ghosts of your previous, particularly if you happen to refuse to face them.
Musically, I believe it showcases a few of our greatest qualities as a band, and as particular person songwriters. We like to put in writing catchy riffs and grooves that make folks wanna transfer, and I believe we completed that with this track. Even if you happen to don’t care what it means, you possibly can headbang to it and it would get caught in your head—identical to these ghosts.”
