Cover art for Receive lyrics by Alanis Morissette

This is about someone who's always doing everything for everyone else but seldom receives help or support from people, mostly because they think they don't deserve to be helped or perhaps would hate to bother people asking for help, when they suddenly realise that it is ok to be helped and then decides that they'll accept it all, for self-generosity. It's very connected with "empathy" when she says "to know myself enough to let you help me". It's about shutting up the voices that tell you not to accept someone's help (or even your own) and simply receive.
