Still
Alanis Morrisette Lyrics

I am the harm that you inflict
I represent the pain and injury you cause to others.

I am your brilliance and frustration
I symbolize your intelligence and exasperation.

I'm the nuclear bombs if they to hit
I am the catastrophic destruction that could occur if nuclear weapons are detonated.

I am your immaturity and your indignance
I embody both your childishness and your anger at perceived injustice.

I am your misfits and your praises
I am the outcasts you reject and the compliments you receive.

I am your doubt and your conviction
I represent your uncertainty and your sureness of belief.

I am your charity and your rape
I am the compassion you show and the violence you perpetrate.

I am your grasping and expectation
I symbolize both your desire for more and your anticipation of what is to come.

I see you averting your glances
I observe you looking away and avoiding confronting certain truths.

I see you cheering on the war
I witness you supporting and encouraging conflict and violence.

I see you ignoring your children
I notice you neglecting your responsibilities as a parental figure.

And I love you still
Despite all of this, I still have love for you.

I am your joy and your regret
I am the source of both your happiness and your remorse.

I am your fury and your elation
I embody both your rage and your excitement.

I am your yearning and your sweat
I represent both your desire and the effort you put in to attain it.

I am your faithless and your religion
I symbolize your lack of trust and your spiritual beliefs.

I see you altering history
I see you changing the course of events in the past to suit your needs.

I see you abusing the land
I see you exploiting and mistreating the environment.

I see you and your selective amnesia
I see you forgetting certain events or details that do not align with your beliefs or values.

I am your tragedy and your fortune
I represent both your misfortunes and your good luck.

I am your crisis and delight
I embody both your emergencies and your pleasures.

I am your profits and your prophets
I represent both your monetary gains and your holy messengers.

I am your art, I am your bytes
I symbolize both your creativity and your technological progress.

I am your death and your decisions
I am both your mortality and the choices you make.

I am your passion and your plights
I represent both your strong emotions and your difficulties.

I am your sickness and convalescence
I symbolize both your illness and your recovery.

I am your weapons and your light
I embody both your instruments of violence and your luminosity.

I see you holding your grudges
I observe you harboring resentment and unforgiveness towards others.

I see you gunning them down
I witness you shooting and killing those you hold hatred towards.

I see you silencing your sisters
I see you preventing women from expressing themselves and their beliefs.

I see you lie to your country
I see you being dishonest and deceitful towards your nation.

I see you forcing them out
I observe you making others leave or vacate certain spaces.

I see you blaming each other
I see you holding others accountable and making accusations towards each other.

And I love you still
Despite all of this, I still have love for you.
