SEMEN STAINS THE MOUNTAIN TOPS
it's him foreshadowing his death. it's in the shape of a liver, and he died of liver cancer. he planned it this far in advance, the absolute insane lad
"A mysterious, clear liquid dripping from his clavicle" Doesn't tell us much. My personal take: the inspiration for 'A Lad Insane' was his brother Terry, who was plagued by mental illness throughout his life. I believe it is simply a tear shed for his sibling. Fan websites document regularly that Aladdin Sane represented the shift of the alien Ziggy to the USA, and the schizophrenia he would experience there.

Sort of metamorphosis residue, hes out of an egg, hes a new character.
Always thought it was a sexual reference, post-masturbation.
Biographer Christopher Sandford believed the album showed that Bowie "was simultaneously appalled and fixated by America".[9]
His mixed feelings about the journey stemmed, in Bowie's words, from "wanting to be up on the stage performing my songs, but on the other hand not really wanting to be on those buses with all those strange people ... So Aladdin Sane was split down the middle."[10] This kind of "schizophrenia", as Bowie described it, was conveyed on the cover by his makeup, where a lightning bolt represents the duality of mind, although he would later tell friends that the "lad insane" of the album's title track was inspired by his brother Terry, who had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic.[10][11][12] Bowie himself came up with the idea of the lightning bolt over his face, but said the teardrop was Brian Duffy's idea: "He [Brian] put on that afterward, just popped it in there. I thought it was rather sweet."[13] Regarded as one of the most iconic images of Bowie, Mick McCann writing for The Guardian called it "The Mona Lisa of album covers."[14]
