Spineless
Alanis Morissette · So-Called Chaos
I won't see my dear friends as much
male friends especially I'll no longer be in touch
I'll change my hobbies to match yours
I'll stop reading my favorite books
I won't spend all this selfish time alone
I'll cater to you and hang on your every word
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
I'll redefine self-sacrifice
live my life as apologetic compromise
I know you'd leave if I rocked the boat
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
I feel this, truly proclaimed, will help the curbing of this tendency
I know this sharing of shame will ensure that I won't forget myself so easily
I'll be low maintenance and agreeable
I will not talk about my dreams so much
I'll listen to you for hours, won't need for anything
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
male friends especially I'll no longer be in touch
I'll change my hobbies to match yours
I'll stop reading my favorite books
I won't spend all this selfish time alone
I'll cater to you and hang on your every word
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
I'll redefine self-sacrifice
live my life as apologetic compromise
I know you'd leave if I rocked the boat
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
I feel this, truly proclaimed, will help the curbing of this tendency
I know this sharing of shame will ensure that I won't forget myself so easily
I'll be low maintenance and agreeable
I will not talk about my dreams so much
I'll listen to you for hours, won't need for anything
I'll be subservient and spineless
I'll lick your boots as empty shell
I'll be opinion-less and silent
I'll be the prettiest appendage to ever lose herself
Spineless
Alanis Morissette's "Spineless" stands as a defining track from her 1992 album So-Called Chaos, capturing the raw energy and feminist spirit of her debut era. The song exemplifies the alt-rock and pop-punk influences that permeated her early work, blending aggressive guitar riffs with her signature vocal delivery to explore themes of self-worth and societal expectations. Released during a period of intense creative output, the recording reflects Morissette's ability to fuse personal vulnerability with anthemic power, making it a staple in her discography that resonates with listeners seeking authentic expression of female empowerment through rock music.
