Anything but Ordinary
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
That this world is a beautiful
Accident turbulent succulent
Opulent permanent, no way
I want to taste it
Don't want to waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
The lyrics to Avril Lavigne's song "Anything but Ordinary" speaks of her desire to live her life on the edge, to feel alive by doing things that scare her. She is not content with just existing and following the rules; rather, she wants to experience everything that life has to offer by taking risks and pushing boundaries. She even laughs herself to sleep as it's her way of calming herself down from her adventurous streak.
The lyrics also suggest that love and breathing are not enough for her; she wants to feel a stronger sensation that would make her feel alive. She is willing to risk her life to experience something more profound. She wants to live an extraordinary life that makes her stand out, rather than living an ordinary one. Lavigne expresses that she wants the world to be a beautiful and accidental place, full of turbulence, succulence, and opulence, that she doesn't want to waste away.
Overall, the song conveys Lavigne's fearless free-spirit and her determination to live life to the fullest.

I want to experience everything
Don't want to waste it away
I don't want to miss out on anything
