Bipolar
La Sonrisa de Julia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy a aprender a viajar
A traves de la luz,
Tengo que estar a la vez
En el norte y el sur.
No hay tiempo antes de que estalle
La polvora que hay e mi interior.
Nohay tiempo para detalles,
Ni frenos que paren mi reloj.
Mar en calma y tempestad se fundio
En mi personalidad.
El mundo explota otra vez
A traves de mi mente.
Y no se que hacer.
La tierra entre el caos y la razon,
Se desato en mi corazon.
Soy fuego y mar,
Soy caricia, soy golpe mortal.
Soy Dr. Jekyll y tambien puedo ser
Mr Hyde.
Mar en calma y tempestad se fundio
En mi personalidad.
El mundo explota otra vez
A traves de mi mente.
Y no se que hacer.




La tierra entre el caos y la razon,
Se desato en mi corazon.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Bipolar" by La Sonrisa de Julia, the lyrics speak to the internal struggle of someone with bipolar disorder. The first two lines represent the desire to escape from their current state of mind, and the need to be in two places at once symbolizes wanting to be in different emotional states simultaneously. The singer feels like there is no time left before they explode, as if there is a ticking time bomb inside them waiting to go off. This sense of urgency is conveyed with the "pólvora" or gunpowder metaphor, as well as the feeling of their inner clock not having any brakes.


The following lines reinforce the concept of duality or dichotomy in the singer's personality. They feel like they possess both calmness and chaos, and that the world is constantly exploding in their mind. This culminates in the admission that they don't know what to do with this internal chaos, as their heart is torn between reason and disorder. The final lines of the song depict the struggle to accept their own identity, which has been shaped by their disorder. They see themselves as having both nurturing and destructive qualities, like the dichotomy between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
