    I've focused in a lot on the title and the meaning of clairvoyant.  Here's something I wrote in to one of the Pearl Jam podcasts:

    The term clairvoyance can be tied to Parapsychology, which immediately got me thinking of Peter Venkman of Ghostbusters, who says he has a Ph.D. in Parapsychology.  To summarize what I've found regarding clairvoyance, it references the paranormal.  Essentially one who 'sees ghosts." So here's where I'm going with this and the meaning of the song.  The "Dance of the Clairvoyants" is labeling those who are concerned with Climate Change as once who believes in ghosts.  This is the anthem for those who are being labeled as those who are believing in a hoax.  Just like in Ghostbusters, no one wants to believe in ghosts until they become a victim or actual witness of a ghost sighting.  Sometimes I wonder if it literally would take another Ice Age to convince those who believe scientists are just blowing smoke up others ass. 

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

    I hear him saying in the chorus:

    I know the boys wanna grow,
    Their dicks and fix some vile things.

    But, guess we'll just have to wait for the official lyrics.

    The official lyrics are already up... somewhere in here... 
    Its Superblood Wolfmoon you won't find officially, as they use the F bomb.
    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    Well, since the last few weeks... «When every tomorrow is NOT the same as before...» rings very loud in my head.
    History is writing itself before our eyes right now.
    Hang tigh everyone.
