synecdoche:

“The thing is, about this song… Uh, when - I mean, I am still a young man, and am permanently a young man. No matter how I start to look I am still 20, right?

But when you are a young writer… Boys get this idea that, to really show a woman the depth and purity of your love what you have to do is something drastic and stupid. Right? And young writers think it would be really intense to have a guy always harm himself real bad. And then, you know, tell these stories and say Well, I was a young writer once, so here is a song about a guy who travels someplace with a gun.”
