"Ghost" is all about a soft and cozy vibe. I get a winter scene in my mind; snowed in, confined to a cabin with a girl and the simple joy of being in love. "Addicted" is more about a realization to me. A moment when a huge and ecstatic clarity comes barging in and states, "quit all the bullshit and the frailty and the depression and just get out there and live!" - almost a play on the quote "You're awesome, so start fucking acting like it!". "Deconstruction" is like a mock philosophy; using ridiculousness and excess to steal poignancy from metaphysical reasoning and expressing the fact that deep down, none of us have any clue what it's all about and it's really stupid to try and understand things that are beyond our understanding. "Ki" is a tremendous release to me. It starts lonely and isolated and ends up still solitary, yet enlightened. The build-up is tremendous and musically equivalent to some kind of enormous epiphany. It's like a relinquishing of anger. Because I sometimes see myself as a very angry person, I find it the most personally effective.
Hence, Ki is my favorite
