| Assemblage 23 – Lullaby Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| For some reason, I get the image of a mother curled up beside her crying teenage daughter, singing her to sleep. I usually listen to this song when I'm crying myself to sleep looking for some form of comfort. | |

This describes Bipolar Disorder, for me anyways. It's pretty much either "Leave me the fuck alone!" or "Hey, I feel like partying/driving around with friends/having fun and being social." Then people expect you to be the same way all the time. It gets confusing for them and they always tried to keep their distance from me. Bipolar can really wear you down, the ups and downs all the time, the never knowing who you're going to be from one moment to the next, the stigma and misunderstandings. I get to the point sometimes where I hate being 'up' because I know eventually I'll come crashing down flat on my face into a severe depression. Here's a verse I thought was interesting: Cracks in the chrysalis spread out like tiny snakes That hiss a litany of rumors and mistakes But I'm afraid their cause is fraught with futility There is nothing more that they can take from me During a manic/hypomanic phase, people tend to be more impulsive, hence the mistakes part. The rumors could mean that people talk about him because they don't understand. He's pretty much saying that his disorder has taken everything out of him, so he doesn't really feel much because of the rumors. |

I first heard this song sitting next to my boyfriend at one of his school's open mic nights. Two people did an amazing cover of this and they even had a violin. But I just sat there and listened. I asked a friend of his what the name of the song was and she played it. She knows my situation, and I know she saw the tears in my eyes as I held him, unknowing, during it. I'm in the perfect relationship. We've been best friends for a long time and it naturally turned into love. We're only 18 and we've just hit college. Everything's new. I'm finding guys attractive again, which I haven't for years. I stay up at night wondering if he's the right person. It's painful to talk to guys that I'm interested in because I don't want to think about what it would be like to be with them. I find myself to be very tempted to cheat because there's this whole new world (of attractive guys) that I can't explore. I feel like I'm missing out on something going away to college with a boyfriend at a different school, and in general. The only other relationships have been very very very bad, so I've had pretty much no dating experience. I wish I could date while dating him, but if we were to break up, we would both be so crushed that we wouldn't be able to see anyone else. Blah, I'm spilling my heart out. It's late at night. That's my excuse. I'm learning piano, and the day that I learn how to play this song will be the best day of my life :) |
