SO HA! Lyrics
Reaching upward
I'm earthbound
Daydreamer wake me up
I'd welcome the interruption
My patience is wearing thin
On the ebb & flow
Yeah, well, I know I'm slow
Hot-tempered and legally disturbed
I'm realizing that I am chronically spaced
As long as I'm kept from laying hands on a weapon
Well then I think I'm o.k.
SO HA!
Be quiet I just need to hear myself -- think
Loud and uncontrolled
Totally aware that I know
But not enough to pull back
And let things go
Pushing forward
Through Hell's ground
Whirling in Sufi's dream
Pothering everything
But the action I need to get through the ebb & flow
Yeah, well, I know I'm slow
High-strung and high-waisted
If I bitch it's not earnest
I'm just unloading some weight
As long as I'm kept from laying hands on a weapon
Then maybe you'll be o.k.
SO HA!
Shut up I just need to hear myself -- speak
Maybe I should stop praying for a miracle
and savor every morsel that I've been served
It's all up to me
If I want to sit at the head of the table
No excuse
I've just got to join everyone at the table
I'm earthbound
Daydreamer wake me up
I'd welcome the interruption
My patience is wearing thin
On the ebb & flow
Yeah, well, I know I'm slow
I'm realizing that I am chronically spaced
As long as I'm kept from laying hands on a weapon
Well then I think I'm o.k.
SO HA!
Totally aware that I know
But not enough to pull back
And let things go
Through Hell's ground
Whirling in Sufi's dream
Pothering everything
But the action I need to get through the ebb & flow
Yeah, well, I know I'm slow
If I bitch it's not earnest
I'm just unloading some weight
As long as I'm kept from laying hands on a weapon
Then maybe you'll be o.k.
SO HA!
and savor every morsel that I've been served
It's all up to me
If I want to sit at the head of the table
No excuse
I've just got to join everyone at the table

hmm nobody knows this song.
the song reminds me of kooky 90's chick. i feel like drinking a latte now.
I lovvvve this song, been listening to it all day. It sounds like it's talking about the stress and/or insanity that can come with ambition.
It takes guts to sing like this, especially for someone whose voice is normally so pretty and versatile musically rather than being expressed in shrieks and shouts. Plus a very good song to listen to when you're feeling petulant.
This song fits me way too well.
It's about someone who may not be crazy but is pretty damn close. It's about a social outcast who will never fit in but is learning that that might be all right. Maybe they'll never fit in but the important part is being happy not belonging.
It's about mental illness, pretty blatantly with the line "legally disturbed", but there are other lines which make the meaning clear like "As long as I'm kept from laying hands on a weapon Well then I think I'm o.k." is a reference to keep suicidal people away from items they could use to self-aware, a common practice for mentally ill people. The central theme seems to be about how this person has been socially isolated due to their mental illness, and them attempting to reintegrate themselves society with increasing confidence.
