(MM) No Pressure Over Cappuccino


This week's song:

No Pressure over Cappuccino
by Alanis Morissette


And you're like a 90's Jesus
And you revel in your psychosis
How dare you
And you sample concepts like hors d'euvres
And you eat their questions for dessert
Is it just me or is it hot in here?

And you're like a 90's Kennedy
And you're really a million years old
You can't fool me
They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And they'll stumble around like hypocrites
Is it just me or is it dark in here?

Well you may never be or have a husband
You may never have or hold a child
You will learn to lose everything
We are temporary arrangements

And you're like a 90's Noah
And they laughed as you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you're frustrated
And they wonder why you're so angry
And is it just me or are you fed up?

And may God bless you in your travels
In your conquests and your queries

***

Since I've had music in my car again I've been able to listen to my music and really feel my choices for Musical Mondays.  This song is amazingly pretty, by Alanis (whom I love) and the one chorus completely struck me.

Well you may never be or have a husband
You may never have or hold a child
You will learn to lose everything
We are temporary arrangements


Now before you worry, or try to instantly reply with words trying to comfort me or reassure me that these things will happen for me, that is not what I am looking for.  I'm not throwing a pity party or feeling sad about it; I'm just musing on the subject after listening to the song a few times.

She doesn't sing it like it's something heartbreaking or sad (even though it kind of can be), she just states it like it's a fact and possibility that you just need to accept.  Which, it is.  You may never have all of the things you're wanting in life, no matter how much you want them. So you really just need to accept that and go on living.  Spending all of your time sitting around wishing for those things and feeling sorry for yourself that you don't have them.  All you can do is keep your head up and find a way to get through.

I am working on accepting these things as I have grown weary of all this wanting that usually ends up with nothing.  No longer am I going to sit around and pine for my "true love" or whatever may be out there, because it also may not be. Some people don't get married and have children, or have lasting and loving relationships.  I may not be one of those people, and someday I may fall in love and find that special someone, but I also may not.  I'm done worrying about it.

I'm just going to live on by myself, and if it never happens than I'll accept that and keep living on.

  2. She has such a haunting quality to her voice. And I'm glad you're not going to spend time worrying about what is and isn't anymore. :)

  4. YES. Thank you. I'm trying to make peace with this, myself- and to find a way to tell people that without inciting the pity riot that naturally happens (you should've heard my mom after I said that to her...)

    This is an excellent choice, and I'm adding it to the long list of why I love Alanis Morisette. :D
