| Alanis Morissette – Ironic Lyrics
| 16 years ago

"life has a funny way of helping you out."
I think this line sums up the song nicely only because, when you read the lyrics, so many of the examples she states may seem depressing in a way, but it "figures"/works out in the end. "everything blows up in your face" doesn't necessarily mean something horrible happening to you. It means that it's an end, and that there's something to learn from it, something to gain. |

"If I ever feel better, remind me to spend some good time with you. You can give me your number, when it's all over I'll let you know" -- Which means he won't be calling when he does. Ah, love. |

| Creedence Clearwater Revival – Have You Ever Seen the Rain? Lyrics

i remember when my father used to play this song when we'd go on car trips. i was very young at the time and i hated it because it seemed so depressing, like one of those "i pity myself" songs. but now that i'm older it's taken on a new meaning and that is what's so great about songs like these - there's so much room for interpretation.
...with every rainy day will come another sunny day. but the part that really gets me is when he asks "i want to know, have you ever seen the rain?" - it's a common human experience to feel the ups and downs he describes in the song, and to say "no" to this question would be to deny that you are human, that you do cry, you can laugh and that life isn't always pleasant. it isn't a "pity myself" song; it's more of a "can you connect to your fellow human being?" kind of song. i hope i make sense. |

i feel like it's one of those songs that can have so many explanations it's useless trying to capture and fit them all into one comment, so just this once i'll say it's beautiful. that's all. :) |
