Morissette, Alanis - Havoc Lyrics






Just when I thought
I had handles on this
I can soften my guard behind false confidence

Just when I felt
Humble pie insipid
Exempt from this blind-side and firmly in its grip
Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence
I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

I get reduced by my own willfulness as
I reach for my usual God replacements
Cause I am rich with sanction and lax in my steps

I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

If forgiveness is understanding
Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this tumbling house of cards of mine

I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret
Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse

I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense I'm
Wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

I'm slipping again
I'm up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I'm wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

Morissette, Alanis Havoc Comments

    I feel like havoc right now 😥😥😥

    T.... g....

  2. f.... ....

    Best song on the album

  3. D.... M....

    Alanis morissette encanta com sua voz calida e terna.que deus conserve e preserve sempre essa voz pra linda alanis

  4. M.... B....

    Her music is and normally has a positive message. She always thanks everyone sincerly after each song especially her unplugged days. Most importantly her music is real ad not just created its music she creates because of how she is feeling during the exact moment which gives it the best credibility. She's a beautiful artist in every way I can think of.

  5. C.... M....

    While I completely respect everyone's right to their opinions, I'll never understand why some choose to nitpick over an artist's work rather than just enjoy it. Alanis is, hands down, one of the top 3 artists in her genre of music. I'd even stretch it to top 5 to appease the cynics, but I'd say top 20 artist of any genre since the beginning of time.

    Yes, the overall feel of Havoc and Not All Me are somewhat similar. But, I'd challenge any artist with as many songs as Alanis to not have a few that are somewhat similar. But why is that a bad thing? Both songs are great, emotionally charged, moving, artistic pieces of work with very different tempos and music and lyrics and themes.

    I wonder how many of her critics could do what she's done on any level or by any measure. I love so many things about her, even from the distance of just being one of her greatest fans. I'm old enough to be her mama and she's inspired me to step out and chase my dreams in a field where even younger women catch hell and very few have found success (Hip Hop). The fact that my foundation is a spiritual one made the leap seem even more daunting. I applaud her on every measure of challenging the status quo as a woman and actually thinking rather than just going along. Her gift has done wonders for more people than even she can imagine.

  6. T.... G....

    So she wrote a whole album about herself.

  7. M.... M....

    Cuando la escucho, esté donde esté, me siento como en casa...

  8. J.... D....

    her voice is just aahhhhhhh

  9. �.... M....

    I loved Alanis at her height. But her music has gone from brutally honest to brutally maudlin. She now mouths ultra-correct pop-psych platitudes and assigns them random melodies that have no rhythmic match to the lyrics. She still has a few good songs on every album. I'm just kinda tired of hearing all the obsessive navel-gazing.

    n.... ....

    You have to feel and go through real emotionnal healings in your life to be touched by her most recent songs. Or else you will perceive them the way you do.
    Gradually healing my self, gradually I can really feel and like her new stuff. If I rush into it, I don't enjoy because I don't really deeply understand and feel them.

  20. E.... M....

    I think the fact that the intro and verses sounds like "It's Not All Me" is the point. She even says she's back to her old tricks again.

  21. m.... ....

    reminds a little but still total different and very good,, i like it a lot

  22. P.... F....

    Well both of the songs remind me of "The Girl is On To You" by Bette Midler (1990)

  23. K.... ....

    I would like this song a lot if it didn't sound exactly like her song, "Not All Me"

  24. M.... R....

    One of my favorites from her new album! amazing song! It puts me in a happy place :D
