Kanadská rocková písničkářka Alanis Morissette okouzlila svět svým multiplatinovým debutem "Jagged Little Pill" z roku 1995. V 90. letech vytvořila celý nový trend „osamocených žen s kytarou“ – Alanis však mezi všemi vyniká silou svých výpovědí,...

Píseň: Fear Of Bliss

Interpret:
Alanis Morissette
Album:
Feast On Scraps
my misery has enjoyed company
and although I have ached
I don't threaten anybody
sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to


I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
my happy endings prevented


sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do


fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)


I could be golden I could be glowing I could be freedom
but that could be boring


sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you


this talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down
under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone


I could be full I could be thriving I could be shining
sounds isolating


sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do
