Law and Order

[WalkAThinLine.]

Here is the quote in question. I slightly trimmed some of the fluff, although you can access the full transcript through the link below.

Someone said, "well why did you call it Law and Order?" And I said, "well first of all, it has nothing to do with the contemporary context in which that term is used now. It has nothing to do with the society aspect." It's more specifically, the theme of how to retain innocence. How do you keep your innocence while experiencing pain? Everyone is born with innocence but as you get older and experience pain, you tend to close off your feelings more; you tend to become more cynical; you tend to become more self-aware, less giving. And the album, in some ways, is asking the question, "how do you keep those innocent eyes through which beauty - real beauty - is seen?"
