Catharsis is from Greek word kathairein, meaning “to cleanse, purge.” As for the meaning of the song I think this is about someone finding a way to relieve their innermost agony & not caring how others judge them. They have to find their path to relief & that may not be a path others around them agree on but it's the only means they know that will keep them sane. It's about someone truly at the very end of their rope.
