| Sarah McLachlan – Good Enough Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
When I first heard this song, I cried for my best friend. She was (and is) very insecure and has been treated badly by people. And I think she's the most beautiful person in the world (I want to be with her, but it can't happen....you and me, rockenpnay), and I want her to see how amazing she is. She deserves much more than this sadness, and I want to know what "cracked her shoulder" and made her so sad. And actually, a few months ago I got out of a really bad relationship -- not necessarily abusive, but the guy was treating me really badly, and I suddenly saw this song from the other person's point of view. There was no reason or excuse for him treating me like that, it was nothing I did, he was just an asshole and I deserved better. The only line that sort of confuses me is "hey little girl" etc. I don't know if "no I can't come out today" refers to coming out as gay (I'm always looking for little lesbian hints in Sarah's songs -- I so want her to be a lesbian, she is so beautiful!!). But I think more than that it's just about somebody trying to free herself. |

When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher assigned us to bring in a song that we feel very strongly about, that we feel describes us or expresses us in some way. I chose this song. In the first place, while people see me as loud and outgoing, there is nothing I treasure more than being alone, and finding that "calm inside me, in the space where I can breathe." And "There is a distance I have wanted to touch upon" -- I feel that, my whole life, I've been searching for the perfect distance between me and others. Close enough to be connected, but far enough away for me to be comfortable and to be alone every now and then. I told my boyfriend about this song, because I want him to understand that even though I love him, I have that quite space where I am alone and don't want to be reached... |

I agree with what paper_hearts13 said -- musicinmysoul, watch it. Not only am I personally offended as I am gay, but also this is not the place to be discussing your opinions on same-sex relationships. I don't know what Sarah had in mind when she wrote this song. But in connects to me because I lost my best friend, and this always makes me think of her. I loved her romantically, and she couldn't deal with that so she basically dumped me. I loved her in my way, but in the end I failed her. We were best friends for years, and I thought we would always be together -- "I thought that we could make it" -- but I know I can't change how she feels. In the past, I was always her shoulder to cry on, and I want nothing more than to have her back and to show her how beautiful she is. mrsdarthvader -- I completely agree. Her songs sum up everything that happens to me. |
