Current musical obsession

I find that I have a curious habit when it comes to music.  I often listen to the same song on endless loop for sometimes days at a time.  Right now my current obsession is Velvet Revolver's Falls to Pieces.  The lyrics have a special meaning to me as there have been many times in my life things just fall apart. There is no stopping it from happening either.  There is just the highs where great things happen and the lows where they all fall apart.  A standard rock video and song by most standards, when you listen to from the mindset of bipolar disorder the song takes on a whole other level of meaning.  I own no rights to this of course, I am just posting this as it seems to fit within the bipolar spectrum and I happen to have listened to it about 200 times in the last couple days.  Here are the lyrics.


It's been a long year
Since you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting
Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling

Every time I’m falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I’m falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I’m falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I’m falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
 
 
An interesting song from my perspective that seems to show how the mania kicks in when love is in your life and how the depression soon takes over as things begin to fall apart at the seems.
