@[juliebrowder:7674] Bottom line. I think it's about Bipolar Disorder. Read the lyrics. Think about them then compare the lyrics to what you know about the disease.

Blue October – X Amount Of Words Lyrics 10 years ago
I think this song is flat-out about Bipolar Disorder. Not just because he mentions it in the beginning but the actual lyrics.

Relapse prevent
Trigger Intent
Now Drown
High Strung
Say X Amount of Words

When you have Bipolar Disorder you have the highs and lows. You try to avoid a "relapse" of a manic or depressive phase. The drowning part is the dark depression that you fall into and the high strung is the mania when everything you do is with purpose.

Your solar bipolar panic
Disorder seems
Harder and Harder and Harder
Still you try to control it

Bipolar Disorder and anxiety go hand in hand. It's like you're constantly worrying about hitting a high or a low. It's like the disorder completely takes over your life and even if you really stay on top of it, there's no way to stop the ups and downs. The longer you've been going through it, the harder it gets because you just get tired of it.

You mold you mold
Yeah you shape to mold
Oh you're bold you're bold
But your shape is bold

You try everything you possibly can in order to be like everyone else but in the end it feels like you stick out like a sore thumb. When a high or a low hits and you're around a lot of people you have to pretend that you're fine but people know you're not.

Your symptom's superficial
To what they call knowing you
Minus the speed
Could you imagine the phobia?
Oh! (We're recording you)
Oh! (We're recording you)

I could go a few ways with this one.
-When people that know you when you're on a high or when you're at a rare time and you actually have a solid baseline of your mood and then your mood completely changes and it's like you become a different person, they think you're faking. They think you're trying to get attention.
There's such a stigma around Bipolar Disorder where many people don't want to be anywhere near someone with it because they think the person is just gonna suddenly "go crazy" and flip out.
The "we're recording you" part could be how people are always constantly watching you. Especially when you have any degree of fame (like a successful band).
OR I, personally, interpret it as when you're in a psychiatric hospital, you're on suicide watch and they see every movement you make. When you have to go to the bathroom, they're right outside the door (literally). Some rooms actually do have cameras where they literally record you.

Your brain is faulty wiring
The reason for tiring
Keep treating the curse
Imagine the worst
Systematic, Sympathetic
Quite pathetic,
Apologetic Paramedic
Your heart is prosthetic

You blame the chemical imbalance in your brain for everything. You get tired of dealing with the constant mood swings. You still take your meds, go through your coping skills, see your therapist but all you can think is "oh, God. when is it gonna hit? how bad is it gonna be? am i gonna try to kill myself?"

It's a constant cycle of being normal-ish and then you get manic. And you're manic for a while and then you come down and go into depression.

People constantly have opinions about you as soon as you mention the disorder. They feel bad for you but don't really understand. Or they think that you should be able to suck it up. And then you get the people who are like "oh, i'm so sorry!" but they really don't care. You get the people that tell you that you need to see a doctor.

There are people that think that just because you take medications to regulate your mood, your feelings aren't real. You don't have a real heart because your emotions aren't "organic".


A plate of quite peculiar
On a dish of my own
A tablespoon of feather
Tickle me to the bone
Give me recipes for happy
With the chemicals gone
Drinking freedom from a bottle
To the tune of belong.

People think you're just straight up weird. But it's almost like when you're depressed, you'll do whatever it takes just to be happy again. You just want to be able to feel true happiness without having to take medication. So you self-medicate with nothing other than alcohol.

Oh,
(We're Recording you)
(I only wanna see)
Oh,
(We're recording you)
(We're recording you)
(I can't believe, believe, believe ..)
Oh,
(I only wanna see)
Oh,
(I can't believe, believe ..)
Maybe!
(I only wanna see)
Oh!

I think this part is about how the fans react when they find out that he has Bipolar Disorder. I feel like the fans are constantly trying to figure out if he's on a high or a low.

I'm sick of shaking
Never waking from the hell I achieve
I never knew you till you left me with the
Crying Disease
Another curing reasurring way to
Buckle the knees
So mistreated I repeated never
Blessing your Sneeze

When you have Bipolar Disorder, you tend to lose a lot of friends when you're really manic or really depressed. And it's a disease that doesn't ever take a break. You just get sick of it. Everyone around you just gets tired of it and they can't handle it so they just leave.

Now deleted and defeated
I will stand on my own
Yeah your memory that punches me
Has broken the bone

When those people walk out of your life for good and you finally get to that point where you're like "okay. i don't need them. i got this." But when you see something that reminds you of them or think about something that you did together it hurts so bad.

Give me recipes for sorry
I'm admitting I'm wrong
Still your memory that punches me
Has broken the bone.

You apologize but you're asking the person that left what else you can do to apologize. You've said "i'm sorry. what i did was wrong" but it's not enough and you don't know what to do.

Oh,
(We're recording you,)
(I only wanna see)
Oh,
(We're recording you)
(We're recording you)
(I can't believe, believe, believe..)

Oh,
(We're recording you,)
(I only wanna see)
Oh,
(We're recording you)
(We're recording you)
(I can't believe, believe, believe..)
Maybe!
(I only wanna see)
Maybe!
(I only wanna see)

Ed Sheeran – Lego House Lyrics 12 years ago
Every time I heard this song I always assumed it was about a girl and a guy and he's telling her that he'll always be there to put her back together when she falls apart and he knows that he has her to rely on as well. But after reading the lyrics again I thought of my best friend that helped me through dark times when I was suicidal.

So here's what I got out of it...

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down

(She helped to put me together how I was meant to be)

My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you

(Every time I'm joking around and tell her that I love her, I'm joking but I'm also being serious because she's like my sister.)

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

(Whenever I'm going through a dark time, I know she'll be there for me. And when her heart is broken or she's feeling pain, I'll be there to get her through it)

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

(She's off at a different college than me and sometimes it feels like I've lost her because we're doing our own things with different people and neither of us are thinking about the other one. But when she needs me, I'm there. The fact that we're physically distant and we're going through rough times but we know we have each other makes us closer when we're together at home.)

I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall

(Basically when we hang out and do stupid stuff and have an awesome time it goes on our "wall" of memories that we always go back and "look at".)

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
And I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours

(Usually I know how she's feeling and it's hard to know that she's going through it because I know how bad it is, I'd rather sacrifice my happiness so that she wouldn't be in pain.)

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down,
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

(Basically, when I'm really upset she knows not to try to restrain me and keep me together but to just let me break down and then put me back together)

And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

He said that he wrote this song about his brother because they got into a big fight and he said that if they were high school friends instead of brothers they wouldnt have been friends. that is what he means by "i wish you were a stranger i could disengage" he means that he cant just ignore him because they are family and he cant avoid is brother forever.
