In my experience, many musicians and artists in general are weird people. Art is often a way to try to express how we don't fit in the world, or an attempt to express that which we can't express in other ways. And when I say "we can't express in other ways", that can mean that it's impossible, but also that the specific individual has trouble expressing it in the usual ways that other people turn to. So, they are kinda related. It's kinda tragic if you are that type of artist yourself and then realize that great part of what drives your art is... disconnection from the rest of the world. How your art might be a cry in some form, the result of your helplessness.
