Bipolar
Charlene Soraia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm bipolar, nobody knows it, but me,
I make bad decisions and everyone sees them, but me,
I think i'll have a baby with the man who beats me,
Who abuses and confuses me and also threatens to kill me,
But i think i'll keep the baby, though everyone says,
I'm not right in the head,
Though that's not heard from heart.
Everyone is criticising, picking fights with me,
I'm recklessly aggressive, i'll talk (?)
But the love of a child will heal my broken heart,
But babies don't need daddies, fathers can be forgotten,
So i think i'll keep the baby, though everyones says,
I'm not right in the head,
Though it's not heard from my heart.

I'm bipolar (x3)
Nobody knows it, nobody knows,
Nobody knows (x3)
I think i'll keep the baby,




Nobody knows (x5)
I think i'll keep the baby.

Overall Meaning

In Charlene Soraia's song "Bipolar", we are given a raw and honest depiction of the struggle of living with bipolar disorder. The singer acknowledges that although nobody else may know about her condition, she is aware of it and recognizes how it affects her decision-making process. The lyrics describe her making poor decisions that others are able to see but she cannot, such as staying with a man who abuses and threatens to kill her while also deciding to have a baby with him. She is aware that her behavior is not considered normal by society's standards and that others are criticizing her for it.


Despite the criticism, the singer believes that having a baby will bring her healing and help fix her broken heart. She acknowledges that having a father is not necessary for a child, and she is determined to keep the baby despite being told that she is not "right in the head". The final repetition of "Nobody knows" in the lyrics is a poignant reminder that it can be difficult for people with mental illness to share their struggles, and that society may not always be understanding.

@meleastravels

why does a song with such deep lyrics have such an upbeat tune.

@gazmac2

tripping tune, great lyrics.

@seleneafan77

i love this song

@rachaelaroha3922

this is a friend of mine.. it's a song.. it's having the right effect if you're talking about it.. imagine having to be happy with being someone with such dichotomy.. it's odd.. but have you heard the rest of her music ? it's ruddy marvellous

@Marie-jc9ir

I don't think the tune is upbeat I think it's really odd like as if you're confused and showing the chaos and the extremes, and the lyrics aren't so much deep but they are serious and bleak

@LucyIsntANipple

I'm Bipolar :)

@theuncanspan

Lucy M nobody knows it but you but now everybody knows

@ihatealigators

has nothing to do with my comment? i was commenting that the lyrics aren't deep, not talking about the rest of that person's question.

@ihatealigators

i'm not really sure how you can consider these deep lyrics. the topic is serious, yes, but there's a serious lack of metaphor, subtlety, and plain poetry here.
