It's about self analysis and being human (or mentally/emotionally unstable)
Most gbv lyrics are a mix of intuitive psychology and magical experience and their relations.
"Nothing else behaves like me" the strangeness of individuality.
"I am a journalist" the use of language to describe something that is beyond the alphabet and defies explanation.
"Pills and potions" as anyone who's done psychedelics will know, offer a great insight into themselves, which is "bottomless", as is most psychoanalysis or honest search for understanding.
"Clues I choose to abuse" escapism over insight.
"Shoot myself with rock and roll" is about personalisation in listening to songs, and the illusory nature and danger of doing such things (as we're all doing here)
"Impurities and evils unknown" unpredictability and the concept of shadow (in jungian terms)
He knows what's right, but loses sight, the human condition during an ongoing existential crisis.
"But it's alright", acceptance.
"Everything turns out right" synchronicity.
He's a clever fellow is that Mr pollard.
Well done him :-B
