Mine is the song by My Chemical Romance called
"It's not a fashion statement, it's a f***ing deathwish!"

my favorite lyric??? "I'm Taking Back The Life You Stole!" that's what I told myself when I first got sick, I was taking my life back from the bipolar.

Just curious if anyone else has a 'fight song' against their bipolar?

Very hard to choose one but i have Eminem's Beautiful Pain on repeat right now. ..its about overcoming adversity, burning the past and starting fresh. Here are some of the lyrics:

'Yesterday was the tornado warning, today is like the morning after
Your world is torn in half, you wake and let's wait to start the morning process
Rebuilding and you're still a work in progress
Today is a whole new chapter, it's like an enormous *****
The thunderstorm has passed ya
Your weather didn't poke his eyes out with the thorn bush that you
Used to smell the roses, stopped to inhale can't even tell your nose is stuffed
So focused on the brightside, then you floor the gas pedal
And hit the corner fast, the more asserted
Never looking back, may hit the curb
But everyday is a new learning curve, as you, steer through life
Sometimes you might not wanna swerve
But you have to to avert a disaster, lucky, no permanent damage
Cause they hurt you so bad, it's like they murdered your *****
And threw dirt on your casket, but you returned from the ashes
And that hurt that you have, you just converted to gasoline
And while you're burning the past, standing at inferno and chant

I'm standing in the flames
It’s a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find the light, find the light, find the light'
'

It's my war by Safura.

My words should comfort you
Instead
They’re like bullets to your Head
My hands should pressure to Your wounds
But they only scar and bruise
Only I know why
Dark waters run deep inside
You’re so close to my rivers Edge
Just don’t fall

Insde I’m still fighting
The battles that blind me
It’s my iron curtain that You’ll never bring down
Don’t try to disarm me
Of weapons that guard me
Can’t hide from my enemy now
Because it’s my war
It's my war

Although I want you on my side
The soldier fights alone Sometimes
If I run cover me
But don’t take a hit for me

Insde I’m still fighting
The battles that blind me
It’s my iron curtain that You’ll never bring down
Don’t try to disarm me
Of weapons that guard me
Can’t hide from my enemy now
Because it’s my war

I don’t want to be saved
I want you to understand
That I can’t
Be fixed by you
When this war is over
I’m coming home

Inside I’m still fighting
The battles that blind me
It’s my iron curtain that You’ll never bring down
Don’t try to disarm me
Of weapons that guard me
Can’t hide from my enemy now
Because it’s my war
It’s my war
It’s my war

This is a dark song but Bonnie Price Billy (writer) is showing hope, w will to live despite the darkness he feels. I can really relate to this song, it helps me to hang on even when there is no light;

I See a Darkness

"Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live, I won't let go
But can you see this opposition
Comes rising up sometimes?
That it's dreadful imposition
Comes blacking in my mind

And then I see a darkness"

and

dark side also by kelly clarkson

and, behind these hazel eyes, by, wait for it,

This is a truly lovely song and suits you so very well. It suits me too, in a different sort of way. Thank you for sharing it.

Fiagpole Sitta "other none as" I'm Not Sick But I'm Not Well!

I had visions, I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
Rottenness and evil in me
Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(But no one ever does)
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a tv
Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, god damn you
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well
I want to publish zines
And rage…

My compliments on an excellent thread idea. They're all bipolar fight songs... probably Guided By Voices' How's My Drinking or Creeper Lagoon's Chance of a Lifetime. Thanks for asking.

It's either Fight Song by Rachel Platten or Summer, Highland Falls by Billy Joel.

I'm still thinking about my fight song. I know there is perfect one and I will think of it. Right now I'm in a melancholy mood and listening to Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam. Usually I'm all about the lyrics but in this song you can't really make them out which is part of the appeal and my emotions fill in the words via emotional language. It's a beautiful song and very powerful.
