Baby Bipolar
Rio Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lithium and cigarettes together
I think I might be almost back to normal
The last year or two have been pretty fucking horrible
Lithium is my best friend now
I hate it sometimes, but that's just how it is
Three times a day for the rest of my life now
I can't think about it because that's just how it is
A million trillion ideas all at once
The other day I skipped my antipsychotic
I was lonely and I wanted someone to talk with
Lithium is my best friend now
I hate it sometimes, but that's just how it is
Three times a day for the rest of my life now
I can't think about it because that's just how it is
I think I'm mentally fucked for a reason
God forgot what the devil looks like
And I was put on earth to tease him
To watch him night after night after night after night
And I was only given talent to show everyone what they should not be
God fucking my brain was for a reason
He said "paint a picture of the devil for me"
Lithium is my best friend now
I hate it sometimes, but that's just how it is
Three times a day for the rest of my life now
I can't think about it because that's just how it is
The lyrics of Rio Romeo's song Baby Bipolar speak about the artist's experience with bipolar disorder and his struggle to come to terms with his new reality. The song describes how he has managed to find some stability by taking lithium and smoking cigarettes, and although he feels fine, he misses the "rush" of his manic episodes. Rio Romeo accepts that he may have to take his medication three times a day for the rest of his life, and laments that he was "mentally fucked for a reason." He believes that God gave him his talent to show others what not to be, and that he was put on Earth to tease the devil.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the track, defining the theme of searching for normalcy through medication use. Although there is a hint of hesitancy in Romeo's voice when he sings "I think I might be almost back to normal," he accepts that sometimes he hates the medication, but it's necessary. The second verse delves into the desire for the manic rush, which he describes as missing the million ideas he had all at once. Romeo reveals that he skipped his antipsychotic medication the other day because he was lonely and wanted someone to talk to. The lyrics suggest that sometimes the medication can feel like a barrier to authentic human connection.

on Everyday I Get More Gay
I was thoroughly convinced
By every guy I kissed
That we could wait and it’s no problem
To let them know when I won’t stop them
But here’s a thought
I’m just gay
I was thoroughly revoked
By half the guys I chose
I know that isn’t that uncommon
What’s wrong with me
I won’t try to solve it
They knew before me
I’m just gay
Everyday I get more gay
And I find out
that it’s okay
Every night
It’s alright
It all makes sense
I’m just a dyke
