Special Ones Lyrics
Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face,
but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where I
Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you,
you probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me
Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror,
I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you
I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win,
those with integrity have won the match before it's begun
Chorus
So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my basses first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
So that only the special ones, so that only the special ones, can ever get through to me
Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould,
you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need
Do you think I'm asking too much?
A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,
how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?
I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,
but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb
I was ashamed of my innocence,
I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me
Chorus
I don't want to be angry....
This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away
but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where I
Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you,
you probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me
Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror,
I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you
I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win,
those with integrity have won the match before it's begun
So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my basses first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
So that only the special ones, so that only the special ones, can ever get through to me
you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need
Do you think I'm asking too much?
A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,
how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?
I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,
but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb
I was ashamed of my innocence,
I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me
I don't want to be angry....
This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away

This song reminds me of a violent exboyfriend and my escape from him.
"but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where I Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you, you probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me"
how emotional is this song!!!! it really an amazing song..i love it... its amazing... i dunno why... it just is cool
This song is incredibly emotional and beautiful.... but it really sounds like it says "so rather than being fucked around", not "so rather than being pushed around".
a great song about standing up for yourself in a relation ship, i rekon. "so rather than being pushed around/i'm gonna push you to the curb".she's been already shamed by him, it must've been an abusive relationship, but now she's sticking up for herself.
This helped me through a really hard time of losing my three best friends. I can relate to every word in this song, it is SO bizzare.
the lyrics are so beautifully written - the song is pure poetry!
By the way, there are 2 versions of this song; one the original and the other with "so rather than being fucked around"
gotta love the high notes in this song.
Totally the post-breakup-womyn-power-there-is-still-hope-for-my-heart-yet song. But expertly and beautifully done.
