Alanis Morissette - Tapes Lyrics






"I am someone easy to leave"
"Even easier to forget"
a voice, if inaccurate
Again: "I'm the one they all run from"
diatribes of clouded sun
someone help me find the pause button

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

"I'm too exhausting to be loved"
"a volatile chemical"
"best to quarantine and cut off"

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

"I'm but thorn in your sweet side"
"You are better off without me"
"It'd be best to leave at once"

All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

    Si Alanis était une sirène, alors on me compterais définitivement parmi les naufragés n’ayant plus jamais donné signe de vie... Mince... Semblerait que se soit déjà le cas :(....

    Straight Jacket is the song I believe that she wrote about my ex's and I's relationship LOL

  62. M.... A....

    Reminds me...of someone i miss..

  63. b.... ....

    I love this song...
    I feel like, at least to me, this song reminds me of the ever-controlling issue of OCD... as someone who suffers from it.
    Constant repeating thoughts, "wreaking havoc".. causing relationships to be troublesome and hard to maintain if they don't understand...

  64. A.... A....

    just wonderful ....

  65. D.... ....

    The song with a Soul.

  66. A.... F....
