Pollyanna Flower

Alanis Morissette

Transposer:

Between a broken nose and a fake smile Between piety and gunpowder Between fighting and fleeing the scene Between murder and diplomacy Between aggression and oblivion Between brutal and realistically well behaved Between screaming and pulling in the reins Between tiptoeing and ambleing What am I to do with all this fire (I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you) Would you stay with me in this red space (I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you) Between violence and silently seething Between my fist and my pollyanna flower Between "fuck you" to your face and it's alright Between war and denial Between flying vases and secretly weeping Between loose cannons and ever downplaying Between bruises and rudely differing Between bursting and boiling What am I to do with all this burning (I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you) Do I overwhelm you in this place (I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you) What am I to do with all this fire Can you understand me in this place?

La chanson évoque le dilemme qui se présente entre des émotions contradictoires et des choix difficiles. Elle explore ce que cela signifie de naviguer entre la colère et la retenue, entre la violence et la paix, et expose les tensions internes que l'on éprouve face à des situations où l'on pourrait ressentir le besoin d'exprimer sa rage, mais où l'on choisit finalement de se maîtriser. Le contexte semble être une introspection sur la complexité des relations humaines et des luttes internes que chacun traverse. La narratrice se questionne sur la manière de gérer cette intensité, cherchant à comprendre comment concilier ces différentes facettes de son être et de ses sentiments face à une autre personne. C'est un véritable combat entre les pulsions et le désir de paix.
