Lies.

Lies, right?

So this idea, the compulsion to correct the record, to me, very relatable, right, in general.

Like, oh, I misunderstood.

Right.

This is a very human impulse.

Right.

For the immortal stuff.

Yeah.

But the idea to say like, I am misunderstood in a public fashion.

I am misunderstood by the person who's supposed to understand me the best.

So I will correct the record.

In a way that, of course, misunderstands everything else just through my lens and like with my thumb on the scale is perfect.

And so the idea to do it simultaneously through the music itself, like even the name Failures.

Well, what are the failures?

The attempt to be a rock star or the stories that he's chronicling?

And then the documentary to bring in Daniel to say like, okay, the way that I will...

And a very fun, like, you know, I heard you requesting me, like, it was absurd, right?

The idea that, like, the one person who can undermine the sanctity of the interview with the vampire text is the author of it.

That there will be, like, a sanctioning and there's a more, like, valid quality to Lestat's tale if Daniel is there to help author it.
