Check out the part of the interview where he talks about it below.
“Straight away with this song (Motion Sickness), even before there were vocals on it, it had the feel of an album opener. Lyrically, too, it gave me a nice place to set up what I wanted to say across the record as a whole and how we wanted the thing to feel,”
“This tune definitely touches on a lot of the themes that recur throughout the rest of the album and is also something of a follow on from Life’s Not Out To Get You. It has that positive message of ‘Don’t stop now/though the motion sickness has you spinning out,’ but also a slightly more melancholy tone. In fact, it contains the line which the album title comes from. The working title for this record was originally Where Do We Go When We Go? but when I wrote ‘Between the peace and the panic, I can’t break up the static; as a lyric it really stuck with me; eventually everyone agreed with me that it should be promoted to become the album’s name!”
