I think it's from an interview with this online magazine, Muse, if I remember correctly M: Much more seriously, I was wondering where you got the 911 call that you used in Psychopath. LG: Well, it was something my friend had. He runs a public access TV station and he had just seen it on a documentary. It was a documentary on violence. I was writing that song, and it was so scary to me. The reason I wanted to put [the 911 call] on it was because a lot of people, when you're being stalked or you're being harrassed by a man, they don't take it seriously. You know, they say, "Oh, you're just being paranoid" It's like they don't know what it feels like to try to go to sleep every night with that fear, and the 911 call is the exact fear that you have when you're going to sleep. You're not scared that he's just going to hang around your house; you're afraid that he's going to get in your house and you're going to get raped, like she got raped at the end of that call. In this 911 documentary, it stops and they go to the narrator and he says, "Karen did get raped that night, the police didn't get there quite in time" Her voice is so hysterical, and I want people to know: that's what the fear is. M: It's really chilling. LG: Yeah. It's from a rape center originally, but we got permission to use it. M: When you were recording the album, I guess you were doing it alone a lot of the time. Did you ever kinda spook yourself? LG: Oh, on that song in particular. The night I mixed that, I couldn't sleep at home. I did a mix of it, and it was so scary to me. It upset me a lot. I almost didn't put that on the record. But I think it says something that I wanted to say, so... Hope that helps....
