Lyric discussion by Black&GreenAchilles 

Syd's not schizo, it's an accepted, published fact that his diagnosis as schizophrenic was a misdiagnosis and withdrawn at least 15 years ago. If you want to take a stab in the dark and present it as fact try ADHD with Abstract Oppositional Defiance, at least that's beleivable. On that basis, Syd is totally sane and it's everyone else that's mutated into brain-altered self-sedating mentals (fact - herd).

Esikmos live in the cold, Eskimo chain is a reference to him trying to slow himself down with drugs so he can be with someone living in this monotonous world of grey. When you're the only sane person in every thousand mutants, it's easy to feel isolated.

@Black&GreenAchilles I have to disagree with you here Eskimo chains is a clear reference to his girlfriend Iggy the Eskimo it could not be any clearer, not to him trying to slow himself down with drugs. Just letting you know, that particular line could not be any clearer what he is talking about
