"And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it" there are other lines like this in Accidetnal Deth and I'm sure other songs... Does anybody know if Jenny ever had an eating disorder? |

mochajas, I think you're so on the money that I don't have anything else to add. The reason it's much more likely bipolar as opposed to depression because of the lines- "And sometimes when you’re on You’re really fucking on And your friends they sing along And they love you" -which describe a manic episode pretty spot on. zenia, I'm not sure you're really getting the whole picture of what those lines mean. It's really hard to explain a manic episode to someone who's never had them, and they are different for different people to. I know when I get manic "really fucking on" is the perfect way to describe how I feel. It's not just being really happy, you cannot mimic it by, say, eating a lot of sugar. There's so much more to it than that. I don't think the character (Jenny?) is necessarily bipolar, though. I can relate to it alot and I'm not bipolar, but I do something called rapid cycling which is sort of like bipolar but much quicker. It's definitely not just depression though, because the narrator feels both high highs and low lows. |
