Clayman

This song to me is about self-esteem, exploring yourself and self confidence ("so afraid of what you may think"), a common theme for teenagers, and as one myself I glean this meaning from the lyrics. "your self control makes me feel alone, tried confiance", is pretty simple, he feels he lacks the confidence he sees in others. Such lines as "the image I project - me without me. The picture that I scanned is borrowed" and "spending to much time with myself trying to explain who I am" communicate his obsessive exploration of his own identity, and numerous metaphors and allusions explore specific facets of this , e.G. "slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie. To aim and miss, my supernatural art" (this supernatural art is mentioned in a different sense at the end of the song, meaningfully) comments on how he's changing, also discussed in the line "as the seasons change I'll continue to ignore". He then finds confidence etc., and gains the feeling of invincibility in his discovery of his true, unchanging self, no longer shifting like the seasons but like a clay sculpture, fixed and strong. At the end of the song, his supernatural art changes from his exploration of but failure to find the truth about himself to the exploration and success, finding the beginning to the path of self-awareness etc., and to teach the world
