Not As We

 I've been waiting for this one to come out ever since they played an excerpt of it on House a few months ago. It's one of those tunes that makes perfect sense if you've been there. An assurance to my friends and family in real life: I'm not posting this because of anything in the now-distant past(just in case you were wondering). The overall theme is relevant to me for different reasons these days. Not to worry, it's nothing serious...just frustrating and a little confusing while I'm waiting for the truth to make itself known. The song is just an excellent, honest description of having to adjust to something/someone else's crap yet again.


Not As We
by Alanis Morrisette

Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain
Unsure, unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour

Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
I'm barely making sense
For now I'm faking it
'Til I'm pseudo-making it
From scratch, begin again
But this time I as I
And not as we

Gun-shy and quivering
Timid without a hand
Feign brave with steel intent
Little and hardly here

Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
With not much making sense
Just yet I'm faking it
'Til I'm pseudo-making it
From scratch, begin again
But this time I as I
And not as we

Eyes wet toward wide open fright,
If God is taking bias
I pray he wants to lose

Day one, day one
Start over again
Step one, step one
I'm barely making sense
Just yet I'm faking it
'Til I'm pseudo-making it
From scratch, begin again
But this time I as I
And not as we

as one of the line says - indeed, you're barely making sense (at least to me) BUT whatever is the truth you want to be known and whatever it is you have to start over again...may you do it well friend and God bless your efforts.
