Clairvoyant Disease song meaning
To understand what the song's about, you have to know the definition of clairvoyance: it is the ability to sense something non-physical beyond the range of normal perception. So "Clairvoyant Disease" is about lonlieness and depression. allow me to explain... Basically, the song is saying that he has someone but he feels that he's waisting his life, just waiting for death, because, this person refuses to live their life and is holding him back from living his own. Depression falls in right from the beginning when he says "Thoughts are haunting me..." "Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong, This spot in hell's where I belong..." He's saying these thoughts are flooding his mind & that he is basicly worthless and deserves this miserable existance. When he says "Outside shell is strong - confident, but slowly eats away. Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight. Through my pores it seems to seep..." He's saying that he's trying to hide his depression, but it's welling up inside of him and he can't hide it anymore. When he says "Stuck alone inside your head, better off dead..." he's talking about the depression holding him captive inside his own mind.
