Avril Lavigne – Anything But Ordinary

• 0
  General Comment:For me, this song seems to be a lot sadder than many of the comments seem to see it.. Rather than being a celebration of being unique, I feel like she's lamenting her mundane life and wishing for something to change it, no matter what that something is (as in the line 'somebody rip my heart out and leave me here to bleed' - even if someone hurts her, she would accept that because she just wants to feel alive). Back when I was really young and I used to listen to this song (can't believe it came out in 2002, wow) I remember the first verses before the chorus would always make me feel really sad for some reason, I can't really explain why.. anyway, yeah, I can relate a lot to this song.

  My Opinion:This is absolutely my favourite Avril Lavigne off any of her albums. Not only do the lyrics really reach out to me, it's great for blasting when I'm in my jeep with the roof rolled down! <3

  Lyric Correction:Sometimes I get so weird,
  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 wanna scream,
  It makes 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.
  
  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 defences.
  Use no common sense.
  If you look
  You will see
  That this world is a beautiful accident.
  Turbulent,
  Succulent,
  Oppulent,
  Permanent no way.
  I wanna taste it.
  Don't wanna waste it
  Away.
  
  Sometimes I get so weird,
  I even freak myself out.
  I laugh myself 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.
  I'd rather be
  Anything but ordinary, please.

  General Comment:The only album I really liked Of Avril's was Let Go. I really connected to it. I was in my awkward tween years and these songs really helped me through those oh so horrible times. I like to listen to them to take trips to the past and reminisce about middle school.

  General Comment:I loved the old Avril but she changed now :(.
  
  Anyways I love this song and think it describes a lot of people who just want to be wild and enjoy life but have been through a lot and have to much sadness and they just want to rip there heart out and bleed to death so they don't have to go out and do something so risky just to feel whole and there life is tumbling down but they don't want to be like everyone else they want to be able to tell people of their adventures but they have no one to tell and they want to explore the world and live life to the fullest extent but whats the use of being able to do all these things if you have no one to do it with.
