These excuses how they served me so well

another music post :)

i just picked up this album by my all time favourite female singer, “alanis morissette” – “so called chaos”

the reviews were not that good and they mostly stated that it isn’t that up to the mark primarily because now that she’s all happy heheh…

well i don’t think so. yes she has been a bit tangible on this, but if you compare the transition from her first album, “jagged little pill” to “supposed former infatuation junkie”, i don’t see what she’s doing wrong with this one??!??

this one’s dedicated to you iris :D

alanis morissette – excuses : listen to this song here
(you need real player for this)

why no one will help me i’m too dumb i’m too smart
they’ll not understand me i’m lonely they’ll hate me

there is not enough time it’s too hard to help me
god wants me to work no resting no lazy

these excuses how they’ve served me so well
they’ve kept me safe they’ve kept me stuck
they’ve kept me locked in my own cell

i’m too far from home it takes far too much energy
i cannot afford to, no one will ever see me

these excuses how they’ve served me so well
they’ve kept me safe they’ve kept me stuck
they’ve kept me locked in my own cell
these excuses how they’re so familiar
they’ve kept me blocked they’ve kept me small
they’ve kept me safe inside my shell

bringing these into the light
shakes their foundation and clears my sight
now my imagination is the only thing
that limits the bar and its’ rise to the heights

no one can have it all see i have to, they want me to
i can’t let them down i will never be happy

these excuses how they’ve served me so well
they’ve kept me safe they’ve kept me stuck
they’ve kept me locked in my own cell
these excuses how they’re so familiar
they’ve kept me blocked they’ve kept me small
they’ve kept me safe inside my shell
