🎧 ALANIS MORISSETTE SUCH PRETTY FORKS IN THE ROAD ŞARKI SÖZLERİ
Smiling
This
is a life of extremes
Both
sides are slippery and enticing
These
are my places off the rails
And
this, my loose recollection of a falling
I
barely remember who I failed
I
was just trying to keep it together
This
is my first wave of my white flag
This
is the sound of me hitting bottom
This
my surrender, if that's what you call it
In
the anatomy of my crash
And
I keep on smiling
Keep
on moving
Can't
stand still
Me,
the notorious bottom dweller
Me,
the ceiling-less brave explorer
Lured
to the ends of overwhelm
This
is my first wave of the white flag
This
is the sound of me hitting bottom
This
my surrender, if that's what I call it
In
the anatomy of my crash
And
I keep on smiling
Keep
on moving
Can't
stand still
Such
pretty forks in the road
On
this continuum I've been bouncing
Life
flashing promise before my eyes
This
is my first wave of my white flag
This
is the sound of me hitting bottom
This
my surrender, if I can bare it
In
the anatomy of my crash
And
I keep on smiling
Keep
on moving
Can't
stand still
Ablaze
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
To
my boy, all that energy so vital
Love
your hues and your blues in equal measure
Your
comings and your goings-away
My
mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
Second
thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
It
might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you wonder why you're here
You
may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
But
it won't matter if you keep the core connected to the oneness
To
my girl, all your innocence and fire
When
you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This
nest is never going away
My
mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
And
this cord is unbreakable
This
pilot light is there in your pocket
And
this bond, beyond unshakeable
Even
if we all forget
All
at the same time
If
we forget at the same time
To
my boy, my precious gentle warrior
To
your sweetness and your strength in exploring
May
this bond stay with you through all your days
My
mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
To
my girls, all your innocence and fire
When
you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This
nest is never going away
My
mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
To
my boy
First
thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary
To
my girl
Next
thing you might notice is that we will always be family
To
my boy
My
mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
Reasons I Drink
These
are the reasons I drink
The
reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These
are the reasons I overdo it
I
have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now,
even though I've been busted
I
don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep
And
nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing
can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here
we are
I
feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One
more hit
It
feels so helpful in my need for respite
And
here are the reasons I eat
Reasons
I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
And
so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To
make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
Nothing
can give reprieve like they do
Nothing
can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here
we are
I
feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One
more sip
It
feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
And
these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And
these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And
these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And
I am left wondering how I would I function without it
Here
we are
I
feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One
more rip
I
go from one lily pad to another to stay lit
Diagnosis
Call
it what you want
Cuz
I don't even care anymore
Call
me what you need to
To
make yourself comfortable
I've
not left the house in a while
I've
not felt a glimpse of ease
And
I have not made much headway
Since
I have come back from the war
And
I no longer give a damn
Bout
things that used to matter
And
I am covering my eyes
As
I am frozen on the spot
Call
it what you want
Cuz
I don't even care anymore
Call
me what you need to
To
make yourself comfortable
So
I am debilitated
I
can't remember where the sentence started when I'm trying to finish it
And
all of you are so frustrated
And
everyone around me is trying to help as much as they can
My
house is spotless, my lens is
Skewed,
my limbs they recoil
And
I'm folding in on myself
Since
I am out of order
Call
it what you want
Cuz
I don't even care anymore
Call
me what you want to
To
make yourself comfortable
So
I am debilitated
I
can't remember where the sentence started when I'm trying to finish it
And
all of you are so frustrated
And
everyone around me is trying to help as much as they can
But
I'm alone in this meltdown
Of
nervousness diagnosis
Call
it what you want
Cuz
I don't even care anymore
Call
me what you need to
To
make yourself comfortable
So
I am debilitated
I
can't remember where the sentence started when I'm trying to finish it
And
all of you are so frustrated
And
everyone around me is trying to help as much as they can
Call
it what you want
Call
me what you need to
To
feel comfortable
Missing The Miracle
You
call it bright
And
I call it simple
And
somewhere in the middle is truth
You
see the hill
And
I see the castle
Our
front that was united is doomed, ooh
You
call this brick and mortar
I
call this sacred skin
You
see the figure skater
I
fear the ice is thin and
The
light is all around us
But
when we spar, it's dim
We're
right here in the middle
Missing
the miracle
You
see the cloud
And
I see the lining
And
somewhere in the middle is sun
And
you say it's greatness
And
I say bad timing
And
when we leave the ring, no one's won, ooh
I
go for the jugular
You
knock till you get in
You
hold the loud and raucous
And
I hear the dropping pin and
You
run all front and center
I
whisper paper thin
We're
right here in the middle
Missing
the miracle
The
winter gets long
The
rapids get white
And
what doesn't kill us
Turns
to grey
You
call this brick and mortar
I
call this sacred skin
You
see the figure skater and
I
fear the ice is thin and
The
light is all around us
But
when we spar it's dim
We're
right here in the middle
Missing
the miracle
Missing
the miracle
(The
light is all around us)
Missing
the miracle
(The
light is all around us)
Missing
the miracle
Losing The Plot
Welcome
back insomnia
Ushered
back into silence only when everyone else is sleeping
And
'cause the city is sleeping
No
one ruthless is rushing to get to the front of the line as usual
'Cause
I am losing the plot
I
am grieving the end of superwoman-ing
I
have laid down my cape
As
though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As
though I have not been reborn to notice that
My
mission is not dead yet
I'm
exhausted midas
Reigniting
a hunger that typically fuels those of us
Still
searching for something outside ourselves
'Cause
this city bears violence
And
everybody is rushing to sob at the podium
And
thank the ones who loved and exploited well
I
am losing the plot
I
am grieving the end of superwoman-ing
I
have laid down my cape
As
though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As
though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet
The
light at the end of the tunnel
The
one I have always prayed for is a train
At
a hundred miles per hour
And
it promises to break my bones if I don't stand still
Rip
my heart out ambition mill or bust
With
my relevance in dust
And
I am losing the plot
I
am grieving the end of superwoman-ing
I
have laid down my cape
As
though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
As
though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead
As
though this fame and pressure has not been a vice around my head
As
though my heart has not kept all my cynicism under the mattress
And
I can't keep it up
Though
the fire is not out yet
I
am losing the plot
Reckoning
Hey,
hey, little wanderer
You
walked the fields with all the fences down
You
never knew the scent of the predator
You
didn't know the house was on fire
And
so you worked
As
you should
While
they preyed on all you ached for
And
they pounced
As
they would
While
the guards were away
Oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey,
hey, you marauders
You
got away while they claim I am a liar
Why
aren't the gods and heroes all around me
Everyone's
turning their eyes to the ground
And
so, you strike
While
it's hot
While
the barricades are broken
You
attacked
At
your will
While
all the locks are frayed
Oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh
Ooh,
ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey,
hey, you denier
Finally
everyone is gathering 'round me
Now
that we all know better, you'll be haunted
I
hope you enjoy these drawings in your jail
And
so
Brace,
brace yourself
For
this reckoning day
I
was once
At
a loss
Now
I stand at the gate
Oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-whoa,
oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa,
oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa,
oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Sandbox Love
Catapult
me out
Of
this fantasy
It's
never been mine
It's
always been yours
Take
me back in time
Start
all this from scratch
Please
go slowly
'Cause
I'm apprehensive
(Ooh)
Into what really happened
(Ooh)
I try not to remember
Here
we go into the danger zone but this time with a friend
Awkward
as fuck
Precious
as fuck
Scary
as fuck
Us
in our sandbox
Sandbox
love
I'm
holding my breath
Smoke
came from these ears
Said
he can't control it
That
it was my fault
Take
me back to square one
And
clear this flashing back
Please
tread lightly
'Cause
I'm an open affront
(Ooh)
Into what really happened
(Ooh)
I've tried to block it out and
Here
we go into the danger zone but this time with a friend
Awkward
as fuck
Sexy
as fuck
Sacred
as fuck
Us
in our sandbox, sandbox love
'Cause
I have not been ready for this challenge
My
soul is shy when you ask for more contact
I
close my eyes and picture myself somewhere else
Thanks
for showing up
Thanks
for proving them all wrong
'Cause
you are my love
And
you are not them
Healing
as fuck
Playful
as fuck
Present
as fuck
Us
in our sandbox
Sandbox
love
Awkward
as fuck
Sweet
as fuck
Here
as fuck
Us
in our sandbox
Sandbox

Her
I
am on the floor
I
am in my kitchen
This
place is so familiar on my knees
I
can hear the footsteps
I
can see their back walking out
I
don't know who to reach for when I need
And
so I'll pray to Her today
I
ask for mercy and I beg for pauses ooh
She's
coming in warm all like Kali
And
coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh
She's
not buying my shell
She
sees right through my armor
She
lingers in my shadows knowingly
She
treats them like they're angels
And
maybe they are angels really
She
beckons me to braver inquiry
And
so I pray to Her today
I
ask for mercy and I beg for patience, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She's
coming in hot all like Shakti
And
coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh
And
even though she knows me well
It
doesn't mean it's easy to pull me out of my self-imposed hell
She
knows all of my secrets
When
I'm out of my body
I'm
starting to see outlines of her face
She
follows me when I run away
And
even when I cut her off
She
still says that she loves me, come what may
And
so I pray to Her today
I
ask for mercy and I beg for pauses, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She's
coming in hot like all Kali
And
coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh,
oh, oh
Nemesis
So
I opened the front door
You
walked in all handsome
And
ready for something you saw in my eyes
Right
here, we sat and we tripped out
Saw
celestial mosaics and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand
And
nobody worried about the roof being blown off
So
I went farther than I'd ever gone before
Change,
you are my nemesis
Transition,
I hold my breath
This
about-face, I'm excited
I'm
excited yet, I'm filled with despair anticipation and dread
This
metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
And
so I climbed the stairs and bled
And
here was a starseed
Right
here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom
And
you trusted me enough
To
follow me anywhere
Or
the other way around
The
other way around as well
And
I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end
And
swam like my life depended on it and it did
Change,
you are my nemesis
Transition,
I hold my breath
This
about-face, I'm excited
I'm
excited yet I'm filled with despair anticipation and dread
This
metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
Ohhh,
ohhh
Ohhh,
ohhh
Ohhh
Right
here
In
this very backyard
We
promised forever
And
we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
And
then there's the phone call
Telling
me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth
And
out came our girl faster than we thought
And
now I am beyond recognition
I
guess that's a good thing
And
still, I want to go deeper
Change,
you are my nemesis
Transition,
I hold my breath
This
about-face, I'm excited
I'm
excited yet I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
This
metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
Ohhh,
ohhh, ohhh, ahhh, ooh
Pedestal
I'm
sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
I'm
sure every perk has perked you up, how could it not?
And
every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
Dropping
my name blew doors open that were closed before
And
one day you'll see that you've never really seen me
One
day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One
day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As
this pedestal crumbles down
And
crashes me to the ground
I'm
sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
I'm
sure you enjoyed this game and the proxy pride that you landed
And
everything vicarious seemed to build you up
You
grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted
And
one day you'll see that you've never really loved me
One
day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of wasn't who stood before you
One
day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As
this pedestal crumbles down
And
crashes me to the ground
You're
left with a human being
You're
left with a fallible soul
Oh,
when the glitter falls
I'm
here and sometimes average, sometimes more
When
the glare of the lights grow dim
And
you're left with a delicate real
When
the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here
One
day you'll see that you've never really seen me
And
one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of, wasn't who stood before
you
One
day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
As
this pedestal crumbles down
As
this pedestal crashes down
Crashes
me to the ground
I
hope you enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
Who wouldn't?
