Morissette, Alanis - Madness Lyrics

I've been most unwilling
To see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this
Has me paralyzed
With this prolonged exposure
To near and averted eyes
I think that I've been waiting
Such mileage for empathizing
Now I see the madness in me
It's brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room
Though I'd love to blame you for all I wish
I miss these moments of opportune
You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you, much thanks for this birds eye view
Oh, thank you for your most generous triggers
It's been all too easy
To cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms
Leaves me terrified
And now I see the madness in me
It's brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room
Though I'd love to blame you for all I wish
I miss these moments of opportune
You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you, much thanks for this birds eye view
Oh, thank you for your most generous triggers
It'd have to give up knowing
And give up being right
You inadvertent hero
You angel in disguise
Now I see the madness in me
It's brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room
Though I'd love to blame you for all I wish
I miss these moments of opportune
You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you
Oh, thank you, much thanks for this birds eye view
Oh, thank you for your most generous triggers

... Crying ...

"Thank you for your most generous triggers..."

Again, Best Alanis Song!

A GOOD kind of MADNESS...!!!☺<3D

I Love her gift. I'm going to listen to this song two more times and that's it!!!

The end of the song is creepy and begins in 5:54

This sound blows my head (5:54 - end) the sound of the "madness" was represented exactly in this part of the song.

Saudades de alguém que já se foi! Muito boa a música saudade que não cabe no peito e escorre pelos olhos......

It's my all-time favorite Alanis song!...

you've All brought this madness to light- Thank you disillusionment, how about grieving it all 1 level @ a time

" vc anjo disfarçado"♥

É Nóis.

amo essa música!!

Oooh this soothes...the gentle piano melody and the lyrics...stunning.

awesome song!!

Lovely song, deep lyrics. Many thanks and much love for the share. :)

For some reason this song reminds me of happier times in my life, Its possibly the soft piano that's doing that though. Really miss good music like this and those happier times.

I love this song and in fact all others too !!!!

Great song... 🎶

I love this song!!!!!<3

Yep, but this is beyond sentimental, almost mystical I would say. Alanis never stop being amazing

I'm not the same after listening to this.

It's by far her most mature and sophisticated tune, and she's had other great ones, and this one, its simply genius...

<3 .....

She wrote this song for Ryan Reynolds, after their three year engagement ended. So it was sentimental. :-)

One of my favourite ever Alanis songs.

Now I see the madness in me.... amazing!!!

I know, me too. She has a way of expressing feelings that I thought only I had. Foolish, I know. Sometimes I go so deep into my own self that I forget that I'm not alone in my own "madness." This song reminds me.
