Alanis Morissette - Flavors Of Entanglement (2008) by Alanis Morissette (보컬) on maniadb.com

Me and my helmet
Such an unconventional kid
All intense and kinetic
At best tolerated from afar

Not yet arrested
And by that I mean betrothed
Though at start I am duly courted
I've just not been trusted with altars

I'm a sweet piece of work
Well intentioned yet disturbed
Wrongly labeled and underfed
Treated like a rose as an orchid

My friends as they weigh in
Get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside, we cancel each other out

I'm a sweet piece of work
Well intentioned and unloved
Unlabeled and misunderstood
Treated like a rose as an orchid

You've brought water to me
Making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows

So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
In your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are

For this sweet piece of work
High maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving
Treated like a rose as an orchid

Sweet piece of work
Overwhelmed unobserved
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid.

Dad, oh don't get up, I beg you to sit tight
Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost girl , forget it I am fine

If anything a witnessing is all I needed that night

Until I get what I'm to get
you'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
you'll keep playing "the guy who leaves"

Brother, oh, brother , solo you did bust out
All I knew was you didn't invite me, so begins themes of self-doubt

There is nothing as harrowing as how I translate backs

Until I get what I'm to get
you'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
you'll keep playing "the guy who leaves"

Baby, oh partner, how well you've played this part
Similar, oh how familiar, reluctant truth you impart

And how you serve necessity: “repeat 'til she sees light"

Until I get what I'm to get
you'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
you'll keep playing "the guy who leaves".

I've been most unwilling to see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this has me paralyzed

With this prolonged exposure to mirror and averted eyes
I‘ve feigned that I've been waiting: such mileage for empathizing

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers

It's been all too easy to cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms leaves me terrified

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowing and give up being right
You inadvertent hero, you angel in disguise

and now I see the madness in me is brought out in the presence of you
now I know the madness lives on when you're not in the room
and though I'd love to blame you for all, I'd miss these moments of opportune
you've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you
oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view
oh thank you for your most generous triggers.

My house
My role
My friends
My man
My devotion
to god
All amorphous
Indefinite

Nothing's been clear
Nothing's been in
Nothing's felt true
And I've never had both feet in
Nothing's been long
Nothing's been yes
Nowhere's been home
And I'm ready to be limbo no more

My taste
My peers
My identity
My affiliation
All amorphous
Indefinite

Nothing's been clear
Nothing's been in
Nothing's felt true
And I've never had both feet in
Nothing's been long
Nothing's been yes
Nowhere's been home
And I'm ready to be limbo no more

I sit with filled frames and
My books and my dogs at my feet
My friends by my side
My past in a heap
Thrown out most of my things only kept what I need
To carve something consistent and notably me

Tattoo on my skin
My teachers in heart
My house is a home
Something at last I can feel a part of
A sense of myself
My purpose is clear
My roots in the ground
Something at last I can feel a part of

Something aligned
To finally commit
Somewhere I belong
Cuz I'm ready to be limbo no more
My wisdom applied
A firm foundation
A vow to myself
'Cuz I'm ready to be limbo no more.

My friends and I meet hours before
We make some homemade pizza
We do some funny bits back and forth
My knees buckle, I laugh so hard

We might end three sheets to wind and who
knows where we'll wind up
All I know is there's a car waiting and
we'll figure that out after

I have to keep my eye on my old friend from
high school
We've known each other for the longest time
She has trouble with her limits so to speak
She can hoist a really good kick in the butt
when she's excited
She doesn't do it so much anymore cuz we're
all on to her

Bring on the tequila ohhhhhh
On fire on tequila ohhhhhh
Hostess most on tequila ohhhhhh
Bestest friends on tequila ohhhhhh

Then there's my other pretty friend from high school
The predator in me is put to shame by the
predator in her
I know I've reeled it in but it'll be interesting
to see how much she's done as well

Then there's my friend from Chigago, God do
I love all people from Chicago
All ready to light up the barbeque and be the
heartbeat of debauchery

Bring on the tequila ohhhhhh
On fire on tequila ohhhhhh
Hostess most on tequila ohhhhhh
Bestest friends on tequila ohhhhhh

Then there's my Canadian friend, what a
fabulous mom she's become
She's been tortured in this sense for the last
many of months for obvious reasons
She was like ‘hey, where was this part of you when
I wasn't pregnant?'
I laughed and did a shot in her honor as I
conversed with her belly

Bring on the tequila ohhhhhh
On fire on tequila ohhhhhh
Hostess most on tequila ohhhhhh
Bestest friends on tequila ohhhhhh

Then there's my cupid friend
She sure knows how to dress, that one
She's a wise and worldly girl but you gotta
watch that medication
Our favorite beverage is taken to a whole other
level on it
I'm not worried about her, I'll coast around
the room while I trust she'll temper

My brother came to visit me, now he's used to
hanging with me and cracking up
But he had no idea about my built up tolerance,
no idea about how manipulative I'd become
I would surreptitiously put it in front of him
without him asking
In a pretty little shot glass
His smirk and cackle would only egg me on

Bring on the tequila ohhhhhh
On fire on tequila ohhhhhh
Hostess most on tequila ohhhhhh
Bestest friends on tequila ohhhhhh.
