Momentum Lyrics

Cover art for Momentum lyrics by Aimee Mann

I think it's about how she tends to think of her problems as worse than they really are because it's easier to feel sorry for herself than to admit that her life is uneventful and without meaning, which is in its own way still miserable.

I think this is one of Aimee Mann’s best songs. It’s about fearing change. Even when you know the path you’re on is dysfunctional and going nowhere, it’s often preferable to keep on going with it than to making a change. Change is unknown and scary, but at least the nightmare you’re currently living is familiar. I think these lyrics must ring true to every human being because we’ve all been there at one time or another.
