dear dar(lin') your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine she was frantic
saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with yourself
I guess she thought i'd be a perfect resort because we've had
this inexplicable connection since our youth and yes they're in shock
they are panicked you and your chronic them and their drama
you this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
if we were our bodies
if we were our futures
if we were our defenses i'd be joining you
if we were our culture
if we were our leaders
if we were our denials i'd be joining you
I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more than you thought you should know
you said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed" and you were mindboggling you were intense
you were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful
if we were our nametags
if we were our rejections
if we were our outcomes i'd be joining you
if we were our indignities
if we were our successes
if we were our emotions i'd be joining you
you and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything
we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive
and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
we need to find like-minded companions
if we were their condemnations
if we were their projections
if we were our paranoias i'd be joining you
if we were our incomes
if we were our obsession
if we were our afflictions i'd be joining you
we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often

  • Es la mejor traducción que he leído de Joining You. Logró capturar la idea de la letra sin transgredir el concepto de la canción.

  • GRACIAS!

  • Well I think the topic is about someone who wants to take his own life and how she tries to remind him that life is more than our afflictions, and that if she didn't think like that she would be joining him about suicide.

  • great translation !!!!!!!!

  • I would say the topic is ...people who refuse to identify with anything most call theirs and thats why they walk in apparent separation. I would love to meet someone that finds the words Alanis sings without any difficulty at all ...Good luck to all of Us

  • Preciosa !

  • @krisagui or even an FtM

  • 2:06 - 2:35 This made me cry =( Anyone knows what's the topic of this song? For me it seems to talk about a person who hate their body, maybe a MtF transgender

  • Great song, I really like the video.
