Overall Meaning

The song "I Am Slowly Going Crazy" by Sharon Lois & Bram is a children's song that describes a person's descent into madness. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, with the singer counting up to six and then back down again, while describing their increasingly erratic behavior. The song may be intended to humorously convey the idea of being driven crazy by boredom or frustration, but it also touches on the darker side of mental illness and the challenges of coping with mental health issues.


The first verse sets the scene, with the singer admitting that they are "slowly going crazy" and counting up to six. In the second verse, they count back down from six to one and describe their craziness in more detail, including singing opera in the shower and wearing their clothes inside out. The third verse continues in the same vein, with the singer counting back up to six and coming up with increasingly strange behaviors, like wearing a cowboy hat to bed and painting their face like a tiger.


The song can be seen as a lighthearted way of addressing mental health issues and encouraging children to talk about their feelings and experiences. It also may be a fun way for children to release pent-up energy and frustration.
