Cada regreso de ALANIS está envuelto de un carácter diferente a los anteriores.
Sin duda es una muestra de que ella es una
compositora auténtica y segura de lo que desea proyectar,
sin importar las críticas.
Las letras y música de este disco reflejan
otra parte de su espíritu...
es como una mezcla de recuerdos y
complicidades... pero quién soy yo para juzgar...
21
Things I Want in a Lover
do you derive joy when someone else
succeeds?
do you not play dirty when engaged in
competition?
do you have a big intellectual capacity but
know
that it alone does not equate wisdom?
do you see everything as an illusion?
but enjoy it even though you are not of it?
are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
and don't believe in capital punishment?
these are 21 things that I want in a lover
not necessarily needs but qualities that I
prefer
do you derive joy from diving in and seeing
that
loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
à la self-deprecating? like
adventure? and have many formed opinions?
these are 21 things that I want in a lover
not necessarily needs but qualities that I
prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have
a choice in the matter
these are 21 things I choose to choose in a
lover
I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz
I like being solo
there are no worries and certainly no
pressure in the meantime
I'll live like there's no tomorrow
are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
up for being experimental? are you athletic?
are you thriving in a job that helps your
brother? are you not addicted? ...curious and
communicative...
So Unsexy
Oh these little rejections how they add up
quickly
One small sideways look and I feel so ungood
Somewhere along the way I think I gave you
the power to make
Me feel the way I thought only my father
could
Oh these little rejections how they seem
so real to me
One forgotten birthday I’m all but cooked
How these little abandonments
seem to sting so easily
I’m 13 again am I 13 for good?
I can feel so unsexy
for someone so beautiful
So unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so
interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind
Oh these little protections how they fail
to serve me
One forgotten phone call and I’m deflated
Oh these little defenses how they fail
to comfort me
Your hand pulling away and I’m
devastated
When will you stop leaving baby?
When will I stop deserting baby?
When will I start staying with myself?
Oh these little projections how they keep
springing from me
I jump my ship as I take it personally
Oh these little rejections how they
disappear quickly
The moment I decide not to abandon me
Esta canción me plait
beaucoup
That
Particular Time
my foundation was rocked my tried and true
way to deal was to vanish
my departures were old I stood in the room
shaking in my boots
at that particular time love had
challenged me to stay
at that particular moment I knew not run
away again
that particular month I was ready to
investigate with you
at that particular time
we thought a break would be good for four
months we sat and vacillated
we thought a small time apart would clear up
the doubts that were abounding
at that particular time love encouraged me
to wait
at that particular moment it helped me to
be patient
that particular month we needed time to
marinate in what “us” meant
at that particular time
I’ve always wanted for you what you’ve
wanted for yourself
and yet I wanted to save us high water or
hell
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you
felt
and in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I’m sorry I lost myself….i am
you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to
define what you wanted
at that particular love encouraged me to
leave
at that particular moment I knew staying
with you meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you’d
believe but I still left
at that particular time
Narcissus
Dear momma’s boy I know you’ve had your
butt licked by your mother
I know you’ve enjoyed all that attention
from her
And every woman graced with your presence
after
Dear narcissus boy I know you’ve never
really apologized for anything
I know you’ve never really taken
responsibility
I know you’ve never really listened to a
woman
Dear me-show boy I know you’re not really
into conflict resolution
Or seeing both sides of every equation
Or having an uninterrupted conversation
And any talk of healthiness
And any talk of connectedness
And any talk of resolving this
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to love you
Try to love you when you really don’t
want me to)
Dear egotist boy you’ve never really had
to suffer any consequence
You’ve never stayed with anyone longer
than ten minutes
You’d never understand anyone showing
resistance
Dear popular boy I know you’re used to
getting everything so easily
A stranger to the concept of reciprocity
People honor boys like you in this
society
And any talk of selflessness
And any talk of working at this
And any talk of being of service
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to help you try to help you
When you really don’t want me to)
You go back to the women who will dance
the dance
You go back to your friends who will
lick your ass
You go back to ignoring all the rest of
us
You go back to the center of your universe
Dear self centered boy I don’t know why I
still feel affected by you
I’ve never lasted very long with someone
like you
I never did although I have to admit I
wanted to
Dear magnetic boy you’ve never been with
anyone who doesn’t take your shit
You’ve never been with anyone who’s
dared to call you on it
I wonder how you’d be if someone were to
call you on it
And any talk of willingness
And any talk of both feet in
And any talk of commitment
Leaves you running for the door
(why why do I try to change you try to
Try to change you when you really don’t
Want me to
You go back to the women who will dance
the dance
You go back to your friends who will lick
your ass
You go back to being so oblivious
You go back to the center of the universe
