Me, and my helmet such an un-conventional kid
All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar
Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed
Though a start I am newly courted
I’ve just not been trusted with alters
I’m a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed
Wrongly label-ed and under-fed, treated like a rose as an orchid
My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out
I’m a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed
Wrongly label-ed and under-fed, treated like a rose as an orchid
You’ve brought water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows
So I’ve lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I’m not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are
For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted
I’ve been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed
I’ve been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
When she says, "treated like a rose as an orchid" is like she is saying I am treated like a rose but I am an orchid, or she is just saying she is treated like a rose and an orchid, sorry I am not an English native speaker and I do not know if she is just playing on words
Hi, I´m from Spain and i don´t think that she is undervalued out there... People with a strong personality cannot like to everyone but fortunatly, she has a lot of fans around the word (I am one of them). My top 3 are: Empathy, Hands Clean and Orchid
The experience of being a sensitive child in Alanis lyrics.She is now a deep and inspiring person, someone who has turned her troubles in creativity. I will love her forever.
