As I said yesterday I am posting lyrics and descriptions of songs from my new album, with the hope that I will understand them more and be able to put them in their place on the album.
This song also has an instrumental/video available here.
This was a song written as a result of a break up, and of being rejected in many areas. And sometimes when you ask friends (do you notice this?) they say 'maybe you were a bit too... this, or a bit too... that'? The voice in the back of my head was certainly telling me all of the ways I was too... something or that I'd done... something. Because in some ways it would have been nice have been in control of all these things that seemed to be affecting me so badly.
The realisation I had while writing 'Too... Anything' made me feel better. And more free; that it wasn't all me.
Lyrics and notes:
I wasn't too... anything
I didn't do...
I wasn't too... anything
I'm fine just as I am
Antiquated
Stagnated
(These were the things I labelled myself as. I tried to change them to more positive words later but these were the words, and I felt old and stagnant, so it was right really)
You sound like a child
When you talk to him
Why?
(I remember a while after this guy finished with me I was in the same area he had taken me to with my sister and I called him 'to find out where the restaurant was he had taken me to'. Just to hear his voice. I put on this child voice. I don't know why. I still do that with my boyfriend sometimes!)
Know I'm right
Alone
Don't sleep with me
Tonight
Alone
Don't be with me
Fight
Alone
Don't see me with you
Alone
Alone
(I added all the "don't"s and "alone"s after. The pic below shows that. When writing the original lyrics for this, I didn't want to be alone! It was a big fight writing this song!)
