IV
Dopamine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(There seems to be a sudden, general explosion)
Well baby, I think there's something you should know
I said baby, I think there's something you should know
If things could get worse I, I don't wanna know
I got a zit on my nose the size of the fucking sun (the sun)
Drinkin' so much my mind has come undone
I said everyday is bad but this one might be the one
I'm dyin' but I don't do anything
I said i'm dyin' I don't do anything




I'll do anything to hide if you know what I mean

Thx. So simply taught.

@Emtprep

Glad we could help Ronnie. Any other videos you want to see us make?

@michaelmartinez6899

Hi. How did you get 1 drop every 4 seconds? When I did the conversion(1 minute equals 60 seconds), I got 0.25.

@Emtprep

Hey Michael, 15 drops per minute = 1 drop every 4 seconds.

@Photoforyou222

60 minutes divided in 15 drops = 4

@skoden1313

Neither of them have answered you question properly. Heres the answer. To convert GTT/min to GTT/sec you take 15 and divide it by 60 (seconds). So 0.25 is correct for gtt/second. Thats 0.25 drops per second. In order to make that a whole drop (to make setting your drip rate easier), you just multiply until its a whole #, if that makes sense. So, 2 x .25 isnt whole (.50 drops every 2 seconds), 3 x .25 isnt whole (.75 drops every 3 seconds), but 4 x .25 is 1 (whole drop!) drop every 4 seconds. Hope that helps.

@michaelmartinez6899

To get 1 drop/4 seconds you divided 15 drops/min by 60?

@sinclair657

Thank you
