That is one of hte tell tale signs of schizophrenia, random thoughts that make no sense. I can't make out a lot of the lyrics, but there is somehting to the tea of "ET told me that I am the one, and i didn't finish fucking high school." This could be a delusion of granduer, a sympton seen in people with paranoid schizophrenia. I would like to see the actual lyrics to persue this furhter, but tha's all i can think of for now.

Then the panic attack comes to mind when maynard talks about being strapped to the bed, feet cold, shitting the bed. A person in a panic attack would probably need to be restrained, and the central nervous system starts "shut off" making the person lose bowel control.

Just a thought, if there is anybody who is a psych major or something or knows more about this than me go ahead and add. Think I'm full of shit? Flame away, I welcome your onslaught and look forward to defending myself.

sorry it is so long
I like!
