Bipolar: Emotions Unraveled
Lyrics
Shut the fuck up
Expressing frustration and a strong desire for silence from someone.
I'm sick of your psychotic tone
Describing annoyance with someone's disturbing and unstable behavior.
It's enough to put me in a fucking mental home
Suggesting that the behavior is extreme enough to warrant institutionalization.
I’ve had enough
Conveying a sense of reaching a breaking point or tolerance limit.
Maybe I should just be left alone
Expressing a desire to be left alone, possibly to deal with personal struggles.
Can’t control whether I’m happy sad or burn all I own
Indicating a lack of control over emotions, with a mention of destructive tendencies.
Yeah
An interjection, possibly emphasizing the intensity of emotions.
When the lights turn on everything seems like I can breathe I think I’ll be just fine
Feeling a sense of relief and normalcy when external pressures are lifted.
When the lights go out problems come alive I can never sleep I’m up all night
Highlighting the emergence of problems and insomnia when external stimuli are removed.
Maybe I’m manic
Suggesting a possible state of mania, characterized by intense energy and activity.
So I panic
Expressing panic and a sense of being overwhelmed.
And turn paralyzed
Describing a state of paralysis and inability to act.
Like a deer staring in headlights
Using a metaphor of a deer in headlights to depict feeling exposed and vulnerable.
Never myself is how I always seem to get described
Expressing a perception of being consistently misrepresented by others.
Funny I never get a break from me inside
Reflecting on the constant internal struggles without respite.
Tell myself I’m alright cause there’s no one else
Acknowledging self-reliance and a lack of external support.
I’m alright I’m alright I’m alright
Repeating the affirmation of being alright, possibly as self-reassurance.
Nothing ever gets fixed when lying to yourself
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of self-deception in solving problems.
I’m alright I’m alright
Repeating the affirmation, but with a hint of doubt or contradiction.
I’m not alright
Contradicting the previous affirmations, admitting to not being alright.
What you want a fucking smile
Expressing frustration at the expectation of appearing happy.
Take my picture quick before my eyes roll
Describing a desire to capture a moment before a negative change in expression.
I’ll let you cut me from my lips up to my ears lobes
Metaphorically expressing a willingness to endure pain or harm.
Now that my wings are gone everything feels like
Describing a sense of loss or confinement after losing a metaphorical sense of freedom.
I’m a bird caged up without flight
Feeling restricted and grounded after losing the ability to soar freely.
Running in circles with red curtains pulled upon my eyes
Metaphorically depicting a repetitive and confined existence.
Like a bull who’s about to die
Using the metaphor of a dying bull to convey intense emotional turmoil.
My lows are matched by equal highs
Highlighting the cyclical nature of emotional highs and lows.
I feel like bleeding out and so I
Expressing a desire for release or escape through self-harm.
Tell myself I’m alright cause there’s no one else
Repeating the earlier affirmation, emphasizing self-reassurance.
