Meaning of Clairvoyant

I'm doing some research on the term "clairvoyant" just to try to get inside of the head of the guys. What's most interesting is that you can use it as a noun or adjective. They use the term as a noun in the title of "Dance of the Clairvoyants" but if you just look up "clairvoyance" there may be more insight as to why they use this term. Anyone else have an opinion?

I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

When put in context of the song, first Ed sings of 'numbers falling of the calendar floor' (as if he'd entered a room, saw a mess of papers on the floor from a trippy automated clock that rips the numbered pages off daily, and saw how long had passed since his last visit). Then, there is another oxymoronic reference of 'collecting up forget-me-nots' (the flowers represent true love) and not recalling what they are for (word play), climaxing with, 'I'm in love with Clairvoyants' (using the word as noun).
Finally, reflect upon how he is in 'love with Clairvoyants because they're out of this world'. You could see it as wanting the end, flirting with death/and the other side and be worried/sad that he has to stand back from that? Or then again, maybe he just loves clairvoyant people.
Hearing him sing this, followed by the sexy murmur of his voice at the end of the song, makes me fall for him even a bit more.
