Briggs was born in London to Scottish parents from Bishopbriggs, Scotland, which inspired her professional name. At age four, she moved to Tokyo with her parents. She sang in public for the first time at a Tokyo karaoke bar, and immediately realized she wanted to continue performing throughout her life. Growing up with the city's karaoke bar traditions and hearing music from Motown musicians to The Beatles at home also influenced her to pursue music. She started writing her own songs at age seven, which she would perform for her family. She moved to Hong Kong at age 10, where she lived until she was 18. After graduating from Hong Kong International School she moved to Los Angeles, California, and attended college at Musician's Institute

Bishop Briggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Facing the winds of pain
Storm's brewing up above
I was breakin', I was breakin'
Just to raise you up
From the grave of your mistakes
Pleasure is a kind of pain
'Cause I keep wrestlin' with snakes
Sick of all the slippery stuff
Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?
Silently, I can't see in the dark
Are you Jekyll or Hyde this time?
Where's my mind? I can't sleep in the dark
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Did I make it up?
I was yesterday's regret
But today I woke up in your bed
Have I had enough?
Oh, have I had enough?
Sick of all the slippery, slippery stuff
Red apple, cherry on your lips
Killing me with every kiss
Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?
Silently, I can't see in the dark
Are you Jekyll or Hyde this time?
Where's my mind? I can't sleep in the dark (dark)
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Sweet and then you're sour, changes by the hour
Never know which one I'll taste
Hot and then you're freezing, different every evening
Baby, you drive me insane
Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?
Silently, I can't see in the dark
Are you Jekyll or Hyde this time?
Where's my mind? I can't sleep in the dark
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
In "Jekyll & Hyde," Bishop Briggs explores the complexities of a relationship that leaves her feeling confused and unsure of her partner's true intentions. The opening lines speak to the contrasting emotions that accompany falling in love: joy and pain. While she tries to raise her partner up and help them overcome their past mistakes, she seems to be struggling with her own emotions and becomes exhausted ("Have I had enough?") with trying to decipher her partner’s true nature. The chorus questions whether her partner is, in fact, a Jekyll-and-Hyde character, vacillating between two opposing personalities, leaving her feeling lost ("Where's my mind? I can't sleep in the dark"), perplexed, and uncertain of where she stands in their relationship.
The repeated questions in the chorus, "Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?" and "Where's my mind?" speak to the anxiety and confusion Briggs feels in this relationship. The references to fruit (red apple, cherry) and the imagery of hot and cold alludes to the feeling of being drawn to someone, but then feeling the pain of their emotional changes. The repeated "Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me" line reiterates this point, emphasizing the unpredictability of the relationship and the singer's frustration with it.
Overall, the song suggests that being in a relationship with someone who has two dramatically different personalities can be volatile and confusing. The lyrics are filled with contradictions, referencing both pleasure and pain and hot and cold, mirroring the unpredictability of her partner's behavior.

Born in a time of love
I was born into a world full of love and positivity
Facing the winds of pain
But pain and suffering were always present in my life
Storm's brewing up above
I can feel a storm coming, a sense of impending doom
I was breakin', I was breakin'
And it's starting to break me down
Just to raise you up
But I was determined to lift you up
From the grave of your mistakes
To help you rise above the mistakes you've made
Pleasure is a kind of pain
But sometimes the very things that bring us pleasure can also hurt us
Have I had enough?
I'm starting to wonder if I can handle this anymore
'Cause I keep wrestlin' with snakes
I feel like I'm constantly fighting against something
Sick of all the slippery stuff
And I'm getting tired of dealing with things that keep sliding away from me
Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?
Are you playing hot and cold with me, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
Silently, I can't see in the dark
I'm struggling to understand what you want, and I feel like I'm in the dark
Are you Jekyll or Hyde this time?
I don't know which version of you I'm dealing with right now
Where's my mind? I can't sleep in the dark
It's affecting me so much that I can't even sleep at night
Did I make it up?
I'm starting to doubt myself, wondering if I imagined your affections
I was yesterday's regret
I used to be someone you regretted being with
But today I woke up in your bed
But now I'm waking up next to you
Oh, have I had enough?
But maybe I've reached my breaking point
Sick of all the slippery, slippery stuff
And I'm getting tired of dealing with things that always seem to slip away from me
Red apple, cherry on your lips
I'm drawn to you, even though you can be dangerous and tempting like a red apple or cherry
Killing me with every kiss
Your kisses may be sweet, but they're also causing me pain and confusion
Sweet and then you're sour, changes by the hour
Your moods can shift so quickly, from sweet to sour in the span of an hour
Never know which one I'll taste
And I never know what version of you I'm going to get
Hot and then you're freezing, different every evening
You can be hot and cold, and you're always changing
Baby, you drive me insane
And it's driving me crazy trying to keep up with you
Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me
I don't know who you are, and it's making me feel like I'm dealing with two different people
