Cover art for Cocoon lyrics by Assemblage 23

it is about bi-polar disorder but then again that's what's great about music, it's entirely up to the listener what it's really about. i relate to it a lot cause of my my BDD. especially these lines:

Even though I know it's only chemical These peaks and valleys are beginning to take their toll Try to convince myself that all it takes is time But the most derisive voice I hear is mine

Give me isolation just for now I feel a hard rain coming down I promise that I will be back soon But for now I'll return to my cocoon

the last 2, i don't know how many times i've made that promise and never fulfilled it.
