"Thank U"

I love this song & lyrics by Alanis Morissette.

"Thank U"

How 'bout getting off these antibiotics?
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up?
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots?
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything?
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once?
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time?


Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic?
How 'bout remembering your divinity?
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How 'bout not equating death with stopping?

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you, thank you silence

To me, this song speaks about gratitude for even the tough stuff.
I particularly love the 2nd verse... it speaks so much to where I am in my journey right now.

  1. Wow. Those lyrics are awesome. I've heard that song many times in the past but I didn't really relate at those times. I do now!

    Thanks for sharing!
