It looks like someone has shaken Lindsey's faith in cycles. He didn't mention those

The interviewer was telling him that he's a great lyricist (well, thanks for noticing!) and said that his words were simplistic, but meaningful and he recited, "two kinds of people in this world, winners, losers . . . two kinds of trouble in this world. . ."

A non-rote thing that Lindsey said was that his lyrics were not romantic because he doesn't think his approach to life is particularly romantic. Actually though, I would disagree with him. I think some of his lyrics are romantic, have the idealism of romance. Even the way he interprets a song like Peacekeeper (which is not the way I hear the song) is romantic, in the sense that if you work together and persevere through adversity, you will prevail in life and in love.
