Obsessed w/Childhood
Bif Naked Lyrics

I have to tell you…I'm obsessed with my childhood.
The singer is deeply invested in reminiscing about their childhood experiences and sees it as an important and defining part of their identity.

I never pooped! Im serious I hated pooping.
The singer struggled with digestive issues as a child and had difficulty using the bathroom, possibly due to dietary issues or unresolved emotional stress.

I never did it. I refused to poo as a child…mostly I couldn't. It wasn't meat loaf, it wasn't chicken or rice, it wasn't 6 hotdogs at lunch with craft dinner on top, it wasn't sloppy joes, it wasn't inactivity, I just never ever pooped.
The singer was unable to pass stool regularly as a child due to unknown factors and was not able to attribute it to any specific part of their diet or activity level.

My parents had this house on Milanockit Court that had a bathroom upstairs, and had a door in the hallway and the master bedroom, they use to close the hallway door, open the bedroom door. Sit me on the potty, and pull the TV in there, ya know so id sit and watch and wait. I mean hours, I must have been rotting inside. It would be like a week in-between.
The artist's parents employed measures to help encourage their child to use the bathroom, including setting up furniture and entertainment to make the process more comfortable, but it was still an infrequent and uncomfortable experience for the artist.

I discussed this at length with my mom, and she was concerned thinking she fed me to much meat and stuff. But you know what I say, my two sisters had no problem pooping, and they ate the same suppers, it was just me.
The artist's family was puzzled by the artist's bathroom troubles and attributed it to possible dietary issues, but the artist saw that this was not the case since their siblings did not face the same problems.

I was sick as a child, I mean I was always sick! If I fell off my bike and got a scrape, it would be infected. When I had the chicken pox, I was hospitalized. Because each pox was infected, each one! In my eyelids, everywhere! The nurses had to dab each pox with a medicated cotton ball.
The singer's health was very poor during their childhood, with various injuries and illnesses often resulting in severe complications requiring medical attention and hospitalization.

My dad use to take us camping, one time I stepped on a dirty nail, ya know like rusty, bare foot, my whole heel became infected, it was huge!! My heel was the size of volleyball. I had to go to the doctor and get it drained. I was soo ticklish all the time, it 5 or 6 doctors and nurses to hold me down, and then the feeling of the lancid heel. I was screeamming my older sister was laughing her head off, right there.
The singer had a series of traumatic hospital experiences as a child, in which medical procedures and treatments were often painful and scary, leading to intense panicky reactions and vivid memories for the singer.

I had Scarletina this one time, and was quarantined, I had a tonsillectomy, I even remember one time in the hospital, of course for you know the reason. A nurse was trying to put a repository in my rear end, and I was squirming and wiggling and giggling, ya know cause I was getting tickled. Then I'd cry cause I was all tense,ya know and it hurt, sooner or later I had to make a run for it, to the bathroom. BOY those nurses sure got mad at me for leaving a trail.
The artist had a number of unpleasant medical procedures as a child and dealt with discomfort by acting out or squirming, which sometimes made the situation worse and caused further conflict with medical personnel.

Ya know I took lots of things as a kid, ballet and jazz, dance, soccer, piano, I was always in trouble, always being a ham.
The artist was involved in a variety of extracurricular activities while growing up but had difficulty staying focused and often acted out, leading to disciplinary issues.

When I was 5 we were all on the stage, with these cardboard clocks, like ya know 2 feet across, tied around us with string like a sandwich board. We were all moving are arms back and forth, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. I was wearing red buckle shoes that I know. Well my string broke and the clock fell off, right there on stage and I just stood there…frozen and balling! The teacher had to walk right on to the stage and carry me off.
The artist recalls a vivid childhood memory in which they were embarrassed and overwhelmed by a social situation, causing them to freeze and cry in front of others and requiring intervention from an authority figure to help them cope.

I remember this girl April, was very popular, and this other girl Jennifer was very popular, they were like we were all in grade 6 but they had bodies of 17-yr. old people. And they looked like Fara Faucet, ya know, all blond with feathered hair and endless teeth, I didn't look like that.
The singer felt insecure and inadequate around other kids their own age who seemed to be more physically or socially developed and admired them for their looks and social status.

I wonder if my dad didn't move us around so much, what if I would have turned out different? Ya know normal. Or am I ? ahh im obsessed with my childhood, cause I don't think im fully grown up, are u? I mean really? I am my inner child, I had to search for my inner adult, and im still look'n. I still eat 6 hotdogs for lunch,there just vegetarian now.
The artist reflects on how their unique childhood experiences may have affected their personality and sense of self, and wonders whether their restless upbringing prevented them from developing in a more typical or socially acceptable way. They still struggle with maintaining a sense of maturity and adulthood despite their nostalgic fixation on their childhood.
