Reseña

Dentro de la extensa discografía de Alanis Morissette, el álbum "Havoc and Bright Lights" presenta a una artista que ha encontrado un nuevo equilibrio vital, explorando temas como la maternidad, la fama y la espiritualidad. Tras la experimentación electrónica de su trabajo anterior, en este disco Morissette regresa a un sonido de rock alternativo más directo y reconocible. Por consiguiente, las guitarras vuelven a tener un mayor protagonismo, creando un sonido potente pero a la vez melódico.

Además, la producción, a cargo de Guy Sigsworth y Joe Chiccarelli, es pulcra y poderosa, dando a las canciones una gran solidez. De este modo, el disco se siente como una obra de madurez, donde la artista reflexiona sobre su nuevo rol en el mundo con su característica inteligencia y sinceridad. Por lo tanto, "Havoc and Bright Lights" es un trabajo sólido y coherente que muestra a una Alanis Morissette renovada, capaz de seguir creando rock relevante y lleno de contenido.

letra de Guardian
You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down

So why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as a fog

And where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who has pushed beyond what’s humane
Them as the ghostly tumbleweed

And where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm

Now enter your watchwoman

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

letra de Woman Down
First woman down was your mother
She did condone how you behave
All you could see was your father
His disrespect was in her face

Next woman down was your sister
Her silence did corroborate
She took her cues from the climate
And never knew another way

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take --come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate? --woman down

Next woman down was your lover
She takes your spite at value face
Even her hair length and color
Gives you the impulse to repeat

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
Behavior that we will take—come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate?---woman down

Next woman down is your daughter
A stranger to being debased
She has a new lease and limit
On the abuse she’ll tolerate

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters
We’ve lowered the bar on the
behavior that we will take—come on now
Calling all lady haters
Why must you vilify us
Are you willing to clean the slate?—woman down

letra de Celebrity
I have tasted stardom since before I breathed
My well-known hungry daddy modeled it for me
And I have never left this ambitious city
And I’ve only known a lust for vip

I have studied long and hard how to proceed
Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me
I display the perfect amount of ennui
I’ll carve my face up if you’ll indulge me

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Never wondered who’s pulling strings above me
Cuz I’m aware of wheels, heels and vintage gucci
I’m on my twentieth round of vitamin v
I’ll cut my weight in two if you’ll have me

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Let me into this exclusive club
Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda

I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey
Just aloof enough to get you to want me
Hoping my persona ingratiates me
Give my life for an opportunity

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

letra de Empathy
There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face

There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait

You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is one that I’ve stopped fighting….

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I’m healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy

There were so many times: thought I’d die not being truly known
There’ve been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation

You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring……

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I’m healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy

There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
Required too much you see
To accept your generosity
And to know myself enough to let you help me

Thank you for seeing me
I feel so less lonely
Thank you for getting me
I’m healed by your empathy
Oh this intimacy

letra de Lens
You and I
Are in the same room
We both think we’re fair
We both live for ‘truth’
But then how are we to define
Something so subjective
Living under the same roof

So here, these battles of wills
They beg for some proof of right versus wrong
Your approach seen as better than mine
Though it’s working for you
All I feel is disconnection

So now it’s your religion
Against my religion
My humble opinion ‘gainst yours
This does not feel like love
And it’s your conviction
Against my conviction
And I’d like to know
What we’d see through the lens of love

And so now your grand assessment
Is that I’m not in your group
That I’m not your kind
And so we’re locked in a stalemate
With you in your corner
And me dismayed in mine

So now it’s your religion
Against my religion
My humble opinion ‘gainst yours
This does not feel like love
And it’s your conviction
Against my conviction
And I’d like to know
What we’d see through the lens of love

And this stance keeps us locked and both in gloves
And this lie remains about us being separate

So now it’s your religion
Against my religion
My humble opinion ‘gainst yours
This does not feel like love
And it’s your conviction
Against my conviction
And I’d like to know
What we’d see through the lens of love

letra de Spiral
I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they’re creeping back in
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again

Here I am in my shame spiral
I’m sucked into it again
I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in

Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down
When I’m alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round

I could be listening to a conversation
A story I’m not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again

Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you’ve weighed in

Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down
When I’m alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round

All these judgments so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This woman’s neuroses a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me…cut to me

Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down
When I’m alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round
NumbVer letra 4:10

letra de Numb
I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn
Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated
And shaken

This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking
Goes on
With no chance of intermission,
I'll be checked out, I'll be gone,

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling
And reach for the drug,
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying
And comfortably numb

I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored,
I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling
And reach for the drug,
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying
And comfortably numb

I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved
I feel angry I am livid need a hug,

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling
And reach for the drug,
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying
And comfortably numb
HavocVer letra 5:53

[X]
letra de Havoc
Just when I thought I had handles on this
I could soften my guard behind false confidence

Just when I found humble pie insipid
Exempt from this blind side and firmly in it's grip

Cuz I’m seduced by reaction
And under the influence

I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

I get reduced by my own willfulness
As I reach for my usual God replacements

Cuz I am rich with sanction
And lax in my steps

I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence

If forgiveness is understanding
Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time
From this toppling house of cards of mine

I am beaten by my impulsiveness
By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret

Cuz I’m repulsed by restriction
At least that’s my excuse

I’m slipping again
I’m up to old tricks off my wagon
I have no defense
I’m wreaking havoc
Wreaking havoc and consequence
Win And WinVer letra 5:01

[X]
letra de Win And Win
In my old days someone won
Those were days of win-lose
In those bleak times I was better
I sat high: Looking down my nose

Change direction: Looking up
I’m not worthy to be with you
We are separate I’m inferior
I had yearnings to sit across from you

Cuz we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partner sister brother

Both directions speak a lie
Up or down, I can’t feel you
As we battle with our power
We are separate, not looking across

Cuz we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partner sister brother

These delusions of our grandeur
We are locked in the struggle
These lies of status lower
These conclusions we’re in trouble

Cuz we’re eye to eye
We are win and win
We are equal to each other
We are flames of twin
We are offspring of truth
We are partner sister brother

Seems I love you
Seems I love you
Seems I love you
Seems I love you

Seems I love you (do I love you?)
Seems I love you
Seems I love you (do I love you?)
Seems I love you
ReceiveVer letra 4:28

[X]
letra de Receive
I wake up and first things first: I'm of service
I make sure your needs are met as a selfless

I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break
I give big, I give all and now it's time to regenerate

Today's all about me, about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive

I move on through offerings often one-sided
Being this low on list of worth: over-extended

I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief
I look out, I proffer and now I need some respite indeed

Today's all about me, all about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive

My habit to love you first and me: remainders
Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger

I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat
I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me

Today's all about me, all about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive
Edge Of EvolutionVer letra 4:36

letra de Edge Of Evolution
Here I leave my story, I leave it in the dust
Although this psychology's been entertaining enough
Herein lies the witness objective with my stuff
But we’re ready to push envelopes into full-blown consciousness

So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

I have had my glimpses with and without substances
I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part

And here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

In this sacred duality
The highs and lows and heres and theres
These aversions and these cravings
Push me beyond identity into pure awareness (we’re already here)

And here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
Here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
