Passion Pit – Little Secrets Lyrics 12 years ago
I can see it being about drugs or mania.

Being that the writer is bipolar, I think mania would be more likely.

Passion Pit – It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy Lyrics 12 years ago
The singer/songwriter of Passion Pit has Bipolar disorder. I think that is what this song is about.

When you are depressed, you might feel tied to a chair, and you can't even move, its called psycomotor retardation.

The next verse is about mania. It feels great opposed to the depression, you're funny and you have tons of energy, so you literally could run around and still have so much energy.

And when he says "its the numbers, its the numbers we dont stand a chance" I think he is referring to the statistics on relationships when you are bipolar, relationships have a high failure rate.
