"You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap on the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?"
- Alanis, 'You Oughta Know'

"I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said"
- Ani, "32 Flavors"

"you pretend you're high
pretend you're bored
pretend you're anything
just to be adored
and what you need
is what you get
don't believe in fear
don't believe in faith
don't believe in anything
that you can't break
you stupid girl
you stupid girl
all you had you wasted
all you had you wasted
what drives you on
can drive you mad
a million lies to sell yourself
is all you ever had
don't believe in love
don't believe in hate
don't believe in anything
that you can't waste
you stupid girl
you stupid girl
can't believe you fake it
can't believe you fake it
don't believe in fear
don't believe in pain
don't believe in anyone
that you can't tame
you stupid girl
you stupid girl
all you had you wasted
all you had you wasted
you stupid girl
you stupid girl
can't believe you fake it
can't believe you fake it
you stupid girl"
- Garbage, 'Stupid Girl'
