Strong connections to Sylvia Plath’s novel ‘The Bell Jar’ in which narrator Esther Greenwood suffers bouts of depression and isolation.
The ‘distortions’ the narrator of Clinic’s song seems to suffer from echo Esther’s.
Towards the end of both this song and the novel the narrator appears to leave...
Distortions Lyrics
I'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly
Talk about when they leave me —
Not that I notice when they're gone
It's eerie and so scary:
I don't know who to marry
Your sister came to bait me
Oh, your sister came to bait me
But I love it when you blink your eyes
Oh I, I want to know my body
I want this out, not in me
I want to know no secrets showed
I leave, oh I leave cured
It saved me once too often
You'd never know how often
I've pictured you in coffins:
My baby in a coffin
But I love it when you blink your eyes
Oh I, I want to know my body
I want this out, not in me
I want no other leakage
I want to know no secrets yet
I leave, oh I leave, now I leave cured
