Question: What is your favorite lyric in “The Hell You Are”
Ashley Cooke: “Oh man, I mean, okay, as a lyricist, like as somebody who just loves lyrics, my favorite line is, love like a mirage disappears closer, I get. Cause it’s just so accurate to how I feel about people that are like the people that I wrote the hell you are about. And yeah, just to me that, that lyric is just so special. But to me, when the song, when the chorus kicks off and it’s, say you’re coming over and you swear, that’s the one that really is like the hell, you are. So I would say that line of the verse and then the chorus.”
