Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For my chemically dependant brothers and sisters.
It disturbs me my eye rolling attitudes,
I search through my studies of gods,
I search for the compassion within me.
And I only have it half a day a week.
I try and I try and I try and I try,
Having myself cross the fucking death junk line,
I know, I know, I know I, know,
If I can get my shit clean after all the shit I seen,
If I can still fall in love,
And laugh my head off at my life,
And my hard hard lessons.
Then why don't you you rich 35 yr. old junkie fuck,
I want compassion for you, but my friend I have none!
You bear your victimization like a cross, a crutch.
Your lazy, its easier than to cop out than to rise above,
Believe me, believe you me,
I can't believe you but just to be nice?
Right now is that half a day a week,
That ill make a search for compassion.
For you, poor you, you fucking white millionaire!
My eyes are aching from roll.
Bif Naked's song "Half a Day a Week" delves into the artist's perspective on addiction, empathy, and compassion. The opening lines express her disappointment in the lack of understanding and sympathy for those struggling with addiction. It is evident that she values compassion and is constantly seeking it within herself. She expresses frustration with her inability to be empathetic for junkies who appear to lack the will to rise above their addiction. Despite struggling with addiction herself, Bif has been able to find love and laughter in life, and she cannot help but wonder why others cannot do the same.
The artist further delves into the seriousness of addiction, and how being a victim of it is not enough to justify its effects. The line that stands out the most in this regard is, "You bear your victimization like a cross, a crutch. Your lazy, it's easier than to cop out than to rise above." Here, she displays contempt for those who let addiction take control of their lives and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. She seems weary of listening to their excuses, instead of wanting them to try harder to overcome their addiction.
Overall, "Half a Day a Week" is a song that emphasizes empathy, even though it's not entirely clear whether the artist acts on it fully or not. It conveys the message that addiction is a complex issue that affects everyone in different ways. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding and acknowledging each other's struggles.

I look to my spiritual beliefs for guidance
I search for the compassion within me.
I strive to find the empathy and kindness within myself
And I only have it half a day a week.
Unfortunately, I am only able to find it for a few hours each week.
I try and I try and I try and I try,
I make every effort and do all that I can
Having myself cross the fucking death junk line,
Even having crossed the dangerous line of drug addiction
The forcid cock the back hand of love,
The harsh reality of tough love
I know, I know, I know I, know,
I understand the challenges and difficulties of overcoming addiction
If I can get my shit clean after all the shit I seen,
If I can overcome my own addiction and the trauma that caused it
If I can still fall in love,
If I can still experience love despite my struggles
And laugh my head off at my life,
And find humor and joy in my own existence
And my hard hard lessons.
And learn from the difficult experiences I have been through
Then why don't you you rich 35 yr. old junkie fuck,
Then why can't you, a wealthy and privileged addict, overcome your addiction?
I want compassion for you, but my friend I have none!

You bear your victimization like a cross, a crutch.
You use your victimhood as an excuse and a reason to continue using drugs
Your lazy, its easier than to cop out than to rise above,
You are choosing the easier path of continuing to use drugs rather than overcoming addiction
Believe me, believe you me,
Trust me, I am speaking from experience
I can't believe you but just to be nice?
I find it difficult to believe you, even when I try to be kind
Right now is that half a day a week,
At this moment, I am experiencing that small window of compassion
That ill make a search for compassion.
During this time, I will actively seek to feel empathy and kindness towards others
For you, poor you, you fucking white millionaire!
Even for you, a wealthy and privileged individual who is struggling with addiction
My eyes are aching from roll.
I am exhausted from my own judgmental attitude and lack of compassion
