Alanis Morissette Quotes

I remember vividly a day years ago,
We were camping.
You knew more than you thought you should know.
You said I don't want ever to be brainwashed
And you were mind-boggling, you were intense.
You were uncomfortable in your own skin,
You were thirsty.
But mostly, you were beautiful.

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else,
How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself,
How to numb a-la-holic to avoid going within,
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything. I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps,
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget.
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps,
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

This is in praise of the vulnerable man,
Why won’t you lead the rest of your cavalry home?

How can you just throw words around?

It was much harder in those days
We had paper routes uphill both ways
We went from school to a job to a wife
To instant parenthood.

And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off,
Slap me with the splintered ruler.
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already.
If only I could hunt the hunter.

First thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
Yes, it's a lie, we've been believing since time immemorial
There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life. One became two, and then everyone was out for themselves
Everyone was pitted against each other, conflict ruled the realm
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
We seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells.

An unfortunate slight.

I sang Alleluia in the choir (Alleluia)
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man.

I had high expectations
It's something I could not compromise
And when I saw you I wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise.

I am what I am Are you what you are or What?

So now it's your, your religion against my, my religion
My humble opinion against yours
This does not feel like love
It's you, your conviction against my, my conviction
And I'd like to know what we'd see
Through the lens of love
Love, love, love.

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no.
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
Till you died, but you're still alive. And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away.
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me.
You, you, you oughta know.

There's an obvious attraction To the path of least resistance in your life Well there's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence Could make you try tonight 'Cause it's easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you To you, to you, to you, to you, to you.
