Bipolar
Burak Bulut & Kurtuluş Kuş Lyrics

The song "Bipolar" by Burak Bulut & Kurtuluş Kuş explores the complex nature of love and the emotional rollercoaster it can bring. It begins with the line "Bana gidiyorum dedi" which translates to "I'm leaving," indicating a sense of detachment or uncertainty in the relationship. The following line "Nereye dedim, sana ne dedi" translates to "Where to," suggesting confusion and a lack of communication about the reasons for leaving.

The lyricist then expresses amusement with a "hehe" in response to the situation and declares their bipolarity, saying "Bipolarım benim sev yeter ki kefili benim," meaning "I am bipolar, just love me, as long as I am the guarantor." This line can be interpreted as a plea for understanding and acceptance despite the emotional fluctuations that come with being bipolar.

The following lines introduce the idea of stuttering or being uncertain, questioning whether love can exist if there are conditions or guarantees. The lyricist states, "Kekem, kefili olursa aşk mı kalır" which means "If there's a guarantor for stuttering, does love remain?" The belief that love thrives through the difficulties and uncertainties is then stated with "Bilmezler aşk kötüden yanadır," which means "They don't know that love is inclined toward the bad."

Continuing on, the lyrics express the importance of being fully present in the relationship with the line "Her detayı bana tam donanım" which translates to "Every detail is fully equipped for me." The lyricist emphasizes that the only rule is not thinking about the other person, suggesting a desire for freedom or detachment in order to maintain stability in their bipolar state.

The following section repeats the questions of whether love exists if there are rules or guarantees, asking "Ulan, kuralı olursa aşk mı olur" which means "Hey, does love exist with rules?" Additionally, the lyricist questions if the other person can truly experience love with "Ona aşk mı denir? Sana aşk mı olur?" meaning "Is that called love? Can you experience love?" The lines "Bende şeref var sende gurur" which translates to "I have honor and you have pride" imply a sense of one person holding onto their dignity while the other person holds onto their pride, creating a potential power imbalance.

The repetition of "N'olur bana eskisi gibi gül" meaning "Please, smile at me like before" and "Doldur aşkın şarabından" which translates to "Fill from the wine of love" suggests a longing for rekindled happiness and a desire for the intoxication of love. There is a plea for the other person to restore the joy that was present in the past.

The final section introduces the idea of losing one's mind, questioning whether there is any sanity left. The lines "Akıl mı kaldı baştan, Soruyor hastane ya da kalkan" mean "Is there any sanity left, Asking whether it's the hospital or the shields." This highlights the confusion and desperation felt by the lyricist, searching for answers and a way to free their mind from the burdensome excuses they use to cope with their emotions.

Overall, "Bipolar" delves into the complexity of love and the struggle of maintaining stability in a turbulent emotional state. It explores themes of communication, acceptance, and the longing for a return to happiness amidst the uncertainty of a bipolar condition.
