Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do. - Alanis Morissette

There's a lyric in the middle of the song that says, "I want to decide between survival and bliss." Basically I'm talking about the difference between really being alive and really embracing the reason why I'm here on this earth versus my just being asleep and sleep walking and accepting the status quo and accepting somewhat of a suffering mentality to being here. It really is my responsibility to distinguish the difference between the two and choose which one I want. It's so easy for me to want to not take responsibility for my life and relinquish it and look outside of myself for the answers that I know very well are within me. It's so scary to be silent and it's so scary to go within, until I do it. And once I'm doing it, I just wonder why I wasn't doing this all the time. So that decision to be fully alive is one that is preceded by some pretty intense decisions and some choices and responsibility-taking that at times can be very intimidating, again, before I do it.

Supposed former infatuation junkie, I sink three pointers and you wax poetically.

Dear popular boy, I know you're used to getting everything so easily,
A stranger to the concept of reciprocity.
People honor boys like you in this society.
