every time i am listening to music no matter genre i always find a song where somebody says they have voices in their head, it actually is kinda annoying really if they actually knew what hearing voices was like i dont think people would be so quick to make music saying that

I write a song lyric years ago
I’m hearin voices in my head
I swear they want me dead
Telling me to drive off a cliff
But all I could hear is the riffs
From the radio
Like I’m living in the eighties yo
Never used that lyric but it’s a true story…

Sz singers?
It’s more likely that they experience drug induced psychosis…
And you know, if you use DRUGS YOU ARE COOOOOOOL BRAAAAHHHHH!1!1!!!

drug induced psychosis is still psychosis they are dipping into the well of insanity to produce art… they may die early but their impact on music is still valid… plus most of us are on a bunch of drugs…the pot calling the cat black is a pointless observation…
Psychosis ≠schizophrenia
Furthermore I’m not so sure that they are using drugs to sacrifice themselves for us…
the sz ones and the drug induced ones are a separate class of bards… they may not know they are sacrificing themselves but they often do…and then their music becomes even more popular…
The fact that they do this is very disturbing when your in psychosis and your taking song lyrics very literally/thinking it’s written for you

Voices sharing secrets ffs
Voices, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope I’ll still be thin
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In another place
The only time I feel safe

I have noticed this also. i have always wondered if they just want to sound like they are suffering from psychosis. And I really don’t understand why they would want to suffer from it.

The majority of people who use abuse drugs are self-medicating some kind of mental illness. Maybe in some cases it’s just anxiety and/or depression…but my schizo-affective came probably right before my 15th birthday…I started smoking weed and drinking when I was 18…sure it made my psychosis worse for a little bit, but I was definitely self-medicating. A lot of people have an exasperated condition of psychosis from drugs and or alcohol but I doubt too many have permanent drug-induced-only psychosis. Just what I’ve heard, observed and experienced throughout the years…

I talk about violence a lot in my music…it feels good to write. I don’t know what feels so good about saying “I hear voices” when u don’t…but maybe it does for some. Writing music lyrics is very cathartic.
When someone accused me of being the one who shot up Sandy Hook Elementary School, I wrote a very SICK TWISTED poem but that was just cuz I was so god damn angry. It can work like that. Music. It’s crazy.

Yeah I usually check it at around 6am my time while I’m having breakfast probably a lot earlier/later for you haha. I noticed that if I wake up at say 3am and log on there’s a lot of Americans and Canadians online…must be day time for them at that time
I think it’s either a mental illness/creativity connection or the fact society finds the idea of having voices in your head fascinating in a way. If they really knew what it was like they’d think otherwise. (actually since my voices are nicer now I’m more reluctant to say things like that but the fact they were mean for 2 decades before that and how bad the side effects of the medicine are makes me still have to say that sometimes.)
I think they’re mostly using it as a metaphor for thoughts, not literally as hearing voices. And I find it annoying too. I think it’s OK when it fits with the lyrics somehow, but when they just use it as a metaphor for thoughts, I think the songwriter must be pretty stupid. It’s not a good metaphor at all and it’s one of the biggest cliches in songs.

twenty-one pilots talk about it a lot. I think they are awesome! I don’t think the writer has sz but he might have a relative who does. He seems to know a lot about mental health issues.
Ive noticed the same thing!
