"How about getting off of these antibiotics"
Stop worrying so much about your health, be healthy but not to the point you're making yourself sick.
"How about stopping eating when I'm filled up"
Stop comforting yourself with food, have control over your life.
"How about them transparent dangling carrots"
How about buying those diamond earrings you've wanted so bad but not brave enough to buy or wear?
"How about that ever elusive kudo"
Work on complimenting/praising yourself. (kudo means 'to praise')
"Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence"
(thank you india for enlightening me... thank you terror for reminding me life could stop at any time, thank you dissilusionment for being there when i needed to pretend i wasnt unhappy, thank you frailty for reminding me i am strong, thank you consequence for making me think before i act/speak, thank you silence for letting me breathe and feel calm again.
"How about me not blaming you for everything"
it takes two to tango. i am responsible for things too.
"How about me enjoying the moment for once"
i need to stop complaining, worrying every second and actually live.
"How about how good it feels to finally forgive you"
i will let go of my anger and hurt.
"How about grieving it all one at a time"
i'm going to take one day at a time.
"The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down"
letting go of negativity has helped me feel better.
"How about no longer being masochistic"
let's stop being perverted.
"How about remembering your divinity"
and instead remember what God wants from us - to be good.
"How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out"
let's cry without being embarrassed of it.
"How about not equating death with stopping"
there is life after death.
I always thought it was interesting how her lyrics start out with personal statements, "Me not blaming you for everything," or, "Stop eating with I'm full up," but when it gets down toward the end of the song, she alters it to third person, "Remember YOUR divinity, "Balling YOUR eyes out." Seeing her on interviews, I think she had some self esteem issues, she can take ownership of her mistakes but not quite her own greatness. It's awesome that she can see the good that comes out of hardship, I hope that by now, so many...

@mizmiah I agreed with like 99.9% :) Insightful. Just a couple things I had a different view on. I thought of the dangling carrot as how we are always working for something, then when we get it, there is yet another thing to go after. It's like how materialism can never satisfy, it is transient, and it's not what can fill your soul, which is what we really are wanting, even if we don't know it consciously. And just wanted to say I don't think "masochistic" is always about sex. It's really about self...

And just wanted to say I don't think "masochistic" is always about sex. It's really about self destructive behavior and getting addicted to them. Oh, and I thought of "grieving it one at a time" meant that you don't have to drown in grief, you can face it a little at a time. Just my thoughts as I don't think there's a right or wrong on this, just different perspectives :)
