It might be a voice telling them they're worthless or stupid. Or it could tell them to indulge every desire. "Drink that drink." "Take that drug." "Follow every sexual impulse." Or it could be a cynical voice telling them nothing matters, that their efforts are insignificant. You hear stuff like that?
