Alanis Morissette – Eight Easy Steps Lyrics 13 years ago
I know this is an old comment, but.. yes. I think that's it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, this song could be my theme song.. With the exception of the feminist part. LOL

Eight Easy Steps

How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solveable predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you

How to keep people at arms length and never get too close
How to mistrust the ones who supposedly love the most
How to pretend you’re fine and don’t need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you’re serving or helping someone

[Chorus:]
I’ll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime You’ll never forget
I’ll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I’ll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best

How to hate women when you’re supposed to be a feminist
How to play all pious when you’re really a hypocrite
How to hate god when you’re a prayer and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies by fears of success

[Chorus]

I’ve been doing research for years
I’ve been practicing my ass off
I’ve been training my whole life for this moment I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you

[Chorus]

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when you’re thinking of killing yourself
How to numb a la holic to avoid going within
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything

Conjure One – Center of the Sun Lyrics 14 years ago
For me, I got a sense of a much darker song...

I got from the first verses that she was raped by the men in the market... and that the 'I hear violins' is her going into her "happy place" so she isn't hurt more than being raped.

For the boy, I thought he was in the group but not involved in the rape, and that was why he was out of his head.

Then he goes back and helps her.

So, yeah.. much darker interpretation but that's what I got from it.
