| Alanis Morissette – Uninvited Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
Actually, I think it's written from someone who has an admirer, but she is fighting it. Maybe she's been hurt in the past, or she's not ready for something so serious. So she scoffs at him. It's sort of like three stages. At first, she's like "Yes, thank you I'm flattered. But I just cannot do thi snow." Then she goes to stage two. The music builds a little more. "Look, I understand. And you must really like to make me squirm and feel all uncomfortable, right? But I am NOT interested. No matter how much I want to, I can't." Then stage three. She's almost like putting her foot down. "I know you think you love me, but you don't! You think you know love? You think you've ever experienced anything like MY love before? You have to stop! This is not allowed!" And the music crescendos and builds until..... It's all suddenly calm. And then finally, the end. She caves in. "I don't think you unworthy of my love.....I just need to think about this before I plunge right in." And then I like to think that the sudden crash of the music back to the heavy stuff is her deciding, plunging in dramatically, and ultimately being happy. It's like a beutiful poem. Pretty cheesy, huh. |

| Sarah McLachlan – Possession Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Actually, I read an interview in Rolling Stone, I believe, a few years back where it WAS about an obsessed fan (male, sorry guys) and he had actually killed himself. She wrote this song from that perspective and to help her deal with her emotions about it. | |
