Cover art for My Manic and I lyrics by Laura Marling

I disagree with me now and feel like it's probably how one person is down and drags another down with them. Kind of, passed on the negative outlook on life type of thing. I still feel, however, that perhaps, certain elements are exaggerated for the purpose of the story.

I agree witgh clairemuziks - I always thought that it was about manic depression, not about a releationship between two people. It's the two sides of her in the song that she cannot control:

I can’t control you, I don’t know you well These are the reasons I think that you’re ill

And also when she keeps saying, 'And I don't believe him' - because it's almost not true as it's only half of the personality that's saying it, so she's right not to believe.
