Sorry 2 Myself

Alanis Morissette

Transposer:

[Verse 1] For hearing all my doubts so selectively and For continuing my numbing love endlessly. For helping you and myself: not even considering For beating myself up and over functioning. To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one’s been crueller than I’ve been to me. [Verse 2] For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional. And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible And for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole. To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one’s been crueller than I’ve been to me. [Chorus] I’m sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. I’m sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else. [Verse 3] For blaming myself for your unhappiness And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was. Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be. To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one’s been crueller than I’ve been to me. [Chorus] I’m sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. I’m sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else. [Bridge] Well I wonder which crime is the biggest ? Forgetting you or forgetting myself... Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter I would’ve naturally loved the former. [Verse 4] For ignoring you: my highest voices. For smiling when my strife was all too obvious. For being so disassociated from my body And for not letting go when it would’ve been the kindest thing. To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one’s been crueller than I’ve been to me. [Chorus] And I’m sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. I’m sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else. I’m sorry to myself. My apologies begin here before everybody else. I’m sorry to myself. For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la manière dont nous avons tendance à nous maltraiter et à nous excuser auprès des autres sans nous accorder la même compassion. L'artiste fait un bilan de ses erreurs passées, reconnaissant qu'elle a souvent préféré plaire aux autres au détriment de son propre bien-être. Elle se rend compte qu'elle a placé la validation des autres au-dessus de sa propre estime personnelle et qu'elle a été extrêmement dure avec elle-même, même parfois plus qu'avec autrui. Le contexte peut se comprendre dans une quête de réconciliation avec soi-même. Dans une société où le regard des autres peut être écrasant, il est essentiel de revenir à un amour-propre sain, de reconnaître ses propres luttes et de s'excuser à soi-même pour les erreurs d'appréciation. Cela soulève une réflexion sur l'importance de se traiter avec bienveillance et de se pardonner.
