Bipolar
The Trunks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parecer
El típico aspirante a imbécil
Alguién más que capaz
De lograr el título mundial
Obsesionado con brillar
Me adelante y al salir a escena
No se que ha podido pasar me he quedado solo en esto
Se acumula la gente al entrar
Voces gritan a muy viva voz
Sin empujar
Que puedo hacer
Si no entienden esta enfermedad
El diagnótico apunta
Que es bipolaridad
Yo no quiero reaccionar
A cualquier estímulo externo
Capaz de excitar
Mis sentidos o mi mente inquieta
Si me cambia la expresión
O me estalla la cabeza
Cogedme mínimo entre dos
No podrá uno solooo
En el umbral
Se acumula la gente al entrar
Voces gritan a muy viva voz
Sin empujar
Que puedo hacer
Si no entienden esta enfermedad
El diagnótico apunta
Que es bipolaridad
Bipolaridad
En el umbral
Se acumula la gente al entrar
Voces gritan a muy viva voz
Sin empujar
Que puedo hacer
Si no entienden esta enfermedad
Bipolaridad
Oooohhh oooohhh ooooohh ooooohh
Oooooohh oooohh oooohhh ooooohhh

The Trunks song “Bipolar” captures the confusion and isolation experienced by someone living with bipolar disorder. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that he may seem like the “typical aspiring idiot” but is someone who is capable of achieving great success. As he steps out into the spotlight, he suddenly finds himself alone, struggling to come to terms with his illness. The chorus repeats the phrase “In the threshold, people gather at the entrance, voices shout at the top of their lungs, without pushing. What can I do if they don't understand this illness? The diagnosis points to bipolarity.”
Throughout the song, the singer implores the listeners to understand his plight, to know that he is not just overreacting to external stimuli, but rather is dealing with a genuine illness. He describes how small things can trigger a response in him that other people would not even notice, such as a change in expression or a sudden headache. He pleads with his audience to take him seriously, to not dismiss him as being weak or unreliable.
Overall, the song “Bipolar” is a poignant portrayal of what it’s like to live with a mental illness. It’s a plea for understanding and empathy, a reminder that even those who seem to have it all together may be struggling in ways that are not immediately visible.
