Your self control makes me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection, a mess without words
As the seasons change I'll continue to ignore
The image I project is living in me
The picture that I scanned is borrowed
After the education, you stopped making sense to me
Seems to me that it's all the same, time and time and time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural art
Spending too much time with myself
Trying to explain who I am
How come it's possible?
I wish there was a way
I feel so invincible
I'm the sculpture made of clay
I need someone to break the silence
before it all falls apart
I need something to cling onto
before I break you in parts
So afraid of what you may think
And all the plastic people that surrounds me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatural art
How come it's possible?
I wish there was a way
I feel so invincible
I'm the sculpture made of clay

Review about Clayman Insensible | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/6/09
for me it sounds more like Insensible than Invincible and I think it would fit better in the song. I wouldn't say "how come it's possible? i wish there was a way" when i feel invincible cause is kinda the opposite, you do whatever to achieve something.
About the meaning I agree with the one who posted "Doubt" , not at all but whit the main idea, different history, I think it's one of the best reviews I've seen.
The song is just amazing so does In Flames.

I'm not sure, but I'll almost bet my left hand that he sings "Invincible" and not invisible. Hence that also would make more sense the whole "I'm a sculpture made of clay", atleast I would never imagine anything made out of clay as invisible, where invincible on the other hand would seem more logic.

Doubt
What is it like to get no response to your feelings? You wish, you hope, you stride like a mastodon every day trying to dig water from the depths of the sand sea - trying to find the feelings that response to your own. The desire which one day burned in your heart has long gone away leaving behind nothing but a stoned heart which works feverishly as it has no other choice but to try. Your whole body is cold. You feel like you can’t do a thing in her presence. You feel like you should, though, as there seems to be no other choice as what you desire is worth all this pain and agony. It’s worth so much you’re willing to fall in one piece – as a true clayman.
Love, it starts as a noble feeling indeed. Anxiety, desire and excitement flood through you mind as you gaze upon her. You are so afraid of what she might think. Your friends might doubt you as well. You start to consider the real possibilities of her liking you as well. Imagination rushes you through your days as your feelings grow stronger and finally beyond control. You face a life and death situation – make an attempt with your good will or live forever alone. Such is the solution to this dilemma made of purest silk.
She answears maybe. She wants to get to know you, however, which rises hopes in the deepest paths of your soul. But as it appears shortly, she is rather unenthusiastic about the whole issue. You make a second attempt. She teases you with her tongue every time but when it comes to real feelings her heart is cold and her blood sends chills through your spine. You make a third attempt. You feel like she is made just for you. Your minds touch in many ways but the final question seems even more troubling now. Maybe, she says. Maybe. Your imagination feels even more alive now – the image of her and you that you project is living strongly inside you.
You can’t comprehend her – how come it’s possible that you and her feel so much alike yet her self control makes you feel so alone. After dozens of discussions of feelings and decisions she cannot make she still cannot decide; time and time and time again. She doesn’t respond to your feelings at all. Despite showing real affection her motives are pure and chaste – friendly only. You wish more – you wish there was a way to make her change her mind – but it seems so impossible. Her mind is so set to friendly mode you feel like a complete fool and lost figuring out what on earth she wants. Seasons change, her stand remains.
You make another attempt, you’re becoming more decisive, angry and furious. Yet you miss again – she still cannot give you the answear you want. Your hope is vastly fading away into oblivion despite the increased attachment and contact. Your feelings are getting more numb and incomprehensible – you’re doubting yourself more and controlling your actions even more. You are completely lost and heartbroken, you feel like stuck inside a clay corpse. You have lost your perfection, you don’t care anymore and become silent and full of hatred; you’re a mess without words.
You need someone to break the silence, whether it’s her or someone else, as you are falling into wicked abyss. Everything in your life is falling apart: you’ve lost your focus completely and ignore everything beyond the strong feelings you still have for her. You need something to hold into or you’ll express your complete hatred for her – the final seal of this relationship even she cannot bear. Then, she will learn. But for now, it seems better to keep on hoping. You still wish there was a way.
Fucking great song!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/07
Though I dont like in flames that much, this song is one of the best mel. death songs i ever heard. If the band had more songs of this kind, I was a great in flames fan. But so I listen to Children of Bodom.
