Song lyrics that make you think of psychosis?

“Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic; I catch a brief reflection, what you could and might have been…”

Earlier I was listening to my favorite A Perfect Circle song, one of my favorite songs by any band really, “Passive.” Those lyrics from that song always make me think of how much psychosis cost me.

As a child I was IQ tested and labeled gifted, boundless potential, something that continued into early adulthood. Well, I’ve had psychosis and mood symptoms since the age of 15, but things really went out of control starting around 22/23 years old, as a medical student. So much potential gone.

Psychosis cut me down multiple times, really.

Yeah, I work full-time as a manager making pretty good money, but I was supposed to do so much more, such bigger things with my life. I’m nearly 43 years old now.

Anyway, are there any song lyrics that make you think of psychosis or things related to your psychosis?

Come to think of it, there are other lyrics in that song that make me think about that stuff.

Here I stand
Foot in hand
Talking to my wall
I’m not quite right at all
Am I? - D.Bowie

There’s someone in my head and it’s not me-- Pink Floyd

I think the first by Bowie is contrived and I’ve no idea what Pink meant.

It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear
That I’m not here

The demons screaming in the distance. Creates such a humbling sound. The monster that’s outside my window. He’s like family to me now.

I think a lot of modern day music was made about me, or made with me in mind.

Oh idk. Just about any of those songs on those old Barney videos makes me go insane.
