| Alanis Morissette – Utopia Lyrics

It's funny, but this song reminds of Hugo's, "Les Miserables". In the novel there was a group of university students who would often meet in the cafe to share their beliefs and dreams of creating a better world: free from tyranny and distress-and obviously they called it, Utopia. But in their meetings they talked of everything; everything with politics, history, books, gods, love, life, and death-supporting and disagreeing with one another-all young and all sadly unaware of where their dreams and passionate ideals may take them: "We'd open our arms, we'd all jump in." |

This song begins with the desire to return before 'the war', before the end, and before the need of prayers, before there was an obvious distinction between good and evil and the need for prayers. I believe that this song is about something terrible happing in one’s life-whether it being a war or the loss of a loved one- and that person is desperate to return to times before there was the need to ask the terrible, and often times unanswerable, question: WHY? And so the singer sings of his desire to return “to the garden without whys.” It’s a terribly haunting and bittersweet song, one that bespeaks of loss and melancholy. |
