Dancing Round My Problems
Embracing Life's Cha-Cha: Reagan Beem's Dance with Emotional Swings
Lyrics
I’m not bipolar
I deny being bipolar.
I just have a hard time being
Difficulty in maintaining a consistent emotional state.
Consistently happy or sad
Struggles with maintaining a steady level of happiness or sadness.
So maybe I am
Acknowledges the possibility of being bipolar.
I don’t really know yet
Uncertain about the emotional state.
In the blink of an eye
Changes in mood happen quickly.
One minute I’m fine
Shifts from being fine to experiencing emotional challenges.
Then I’m ghosting my friends
Withdraws from social connections when feeling depressed.
When I get depressed
Expresses the experience of depression.
But I’ve been scared to see a therapist
Fearful of seeking therapy for emotional challenges.
So I’ll stay blissfully as ignorant
Chooses to remain unaware rather than facing potential issues.
Dancing round my problems
Metaphorically using dance to avoid confronting problems directly.
Dodging cause I’m scared that i’m the problem
Avoidance due to fear of being the root cause of problems.
That nobody can fix
Belief that personal issues may be unfixable.
And If i tried to
Avoidance of attempting to fix problems to prevent disappointment.
I’d let everyone down
Fear of letting others down if attempting to address issues.
So I’ve been
No specific content in this line.
Dancing round my problems
Reiteration of using dance as a metaphor for avoidance.
I get over ambitious
Tendency to make overly ambitious decisions to combat boredom.
And make stupid decisions that I know I’ll just say be sorry for
Anticipation of regret for impulsive decisions.
Cause I’m afraid of being bored
Fear of being bored drives decision-making.
Couldn’t say that it Isn’t
Acknowledges the difficulty in admitting boredom.
But I’m a little suspicious
Expresses suspicion about mood swings.
How my moods can swing me back and forth
Reflects on the oscillation of moods.
Is this anyone else’s norm?
Questions if others experience similar mood swings.
Dancing round my problems
Reiteration of using dance as a metaphor for avoidance.
Dodging cause I’m scared that I’m the problem
Repeats the fear of being the cause of problems.
That nobody can fix
Belief that personal issues may be unfixable.
And if I tried to
Avoidance of attempting to fix problems to prevent disappointment.
I’d let everyone down
Fear of letting others down if attempting to address issues.
So I’ve been
Reiteration of using dance as a metaphor for avoidance.
Dancing round my problems
No specific content in this line.
With all my highs
Mentions experiencing both highs and lows.
And all my lows
Struggles with letting go of emotions.
I’m so blind to letting go
Repetition of being blind to letting go.
With all my highs
Reiteration of experiencing highs and lows.
And all my lows
Fear of losing control of emotions.
Afraid that I might lose control
Expresses fear of losing control of emotions.
