One of the greatest lyricist still alive. Her music is like fine poetry, pure artistry. Her cries at the ending of this song is so haunting and gives me an out of body experience.
Alanis is SO SO SO amazing! Her band is amazing. I like how she says "All these thoughts in my head aren't my own." Never listen to people telling you defeating messages like this.
I love this song... I feel like, at least to me, this song reminds me of the ever-controlling issue of OCD... as someone who suffers from it. Constant repeating thoughts, "wreaking havoc".. causing relationships to be troublesome and hard to maintain if they don't understand...
"I am someone easy to leave" "Even easier to forget" a voice, if inaccurate Again: "I'm the one they all run from" diatribes of clouded sun someone help me find the pause button All these tapes in my head swirl around Keeping my vibe down All these thoughts in my head aren't my own Wreaking havoc "I'm too exhausting to be loved" "a volatile chemical" "best to quarantine and cut off" All these tapes in my head swirl around Keeping my vibe down All these thoughts in my head aren't my own Wreaking havoc "I'm but thorn in your sweet side" "You are better off without me" "It'd be best to leave at once" All these tapes in my head swirl around Keeping my vibe down All these thoughts in my head aren't my own Wreaking havoc
only Alanis can say what ever you're thinking and how ever you're feeling...no matter how dark or happy and not sound over rated or cheesy...simple and honest
The moment you realize it is your own mind that runs the show and that its a horror show and you are not a victim but still you do not yet know how to cut it out. All you can do is cry.....
You're so right. I love the fact that there is nothing to figure out here...no extreme word play, riddles or excessive vocabulary. ....just real, raw emotion. This is a song that you're just meant to FEEL! By far my favorite track off of FOE!
@FunFabiuz the song is about a girl who is replaying her mistakes and bad things people said about her in her head like a tape and how its hurting her. i hope this helps.
i'm sorry 4 i'm about to asking, but i'm italian and though i've translated the lyrics, i don't think i've completely understood his meaning.. someone can tell me what's the clear story behind this beautiful musical pearl, please...????
One of her most underrated songs.... it's absolutely beautiful.
My fav
Hands down ❤️
forget the song. The album is amazing.
One of the greatest lyricist still alive. Her music is like fine poetry, pure artistry. Her cries at the ending of this song is so haunting and gives me an out of body experience.
I always feel that her music just lets you know you are not alone.
Underrated Song. I love this Song sooooo much.
Alanis is SO SO SO amazing! Her band is amazing. I like how she says "All these thoughts in my head aren't my own." Never listen to people telling you defeating messages like this.
The vocalize at the end of the song. Just touches you and never lets you go... Something out of this world
Yes, amazing! And, if you listen to her sing this recorded as "Tapes (Live)", you can hear her 'vocalize' twice!
Has anyone been taken to an unknown place at the end of the song? Alanis's songs got body and SOUL!
Wreaking havoc for over a decade...absolutely sublime!
What a mindblowing song ........ this is a masterpiece! Musical tour from down under up to heaven and back again. AM is an amazing songwriter.
I'm 19 years old and I love Alanis, The real music
I'm 22 years old and I love Alanis! Now, you are 27
this song makes me cry everytime
Such s timeless and unique song. Just something else, we love you Alanis !
This Talented Artist has Shared Her Personal Experiences through her Music, Ultimately to the Benefit of Self & Others! Love Alanis I Do?
I love this song...

Constant repeating thoughts, "wreaking havoc".. causing relationships to be troublesome and hard to maintain if they don't understand...
The song with a Soul.
"I am someone easy to leave"
"Even easier to forget"
a voice, if inaccurate
Again: "I'm the one they all run from"
diatribes of clouded sun
someone help me find the pause button
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
"I'm too exhausting to be loved"
"a volatile chemical"
"best to quarantine and cut off"
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
"I'm but thorn in your sweet side"
"You are better off without me"
"It'd be best to leave at once"
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc

GOD has blessed me with Alanis Morissette.
The moment you realize it is your own mind that runs the show and that its a horror show and you are not a victim but still you do not yet know how to cut it out. All you can do is cry.....

You're so right. I love the fact that there is nothing to figure out here...no extreme word play, riddles or excessive vocabulary. ....just real, raw emotion. This is a song that you're just meant to FEEL! By far my favorite track off of FOE!

I just found this album on itunes, i bought versions of violence and now i want the rest
❤
I'm a thorn in your sweet side...
Lovely time. Heaven Heavenly ..
A largely unknown song,from so long ago now,the complete album full of sonic poetry...
@FunFabiuz the song is about a girl who is replaying her mistakes and bad things people said about her in her head like a tape and how its hurting her. i hope this helps.
Love that part 3:00
Me too. Alanis have a powerful voice. I love this song because i think its very magical and personal.
💔💓💕
Endlos hat lisa damals gesagt .... wunderschöne musik . Berlin 2008
I miss you
Yep, that about sums it up. Put yer headphones on...loud.
Two dislikes? Just give me your addresses. No wait! Do not give me anything about you. I want to keep my inner piece...
@SaladGeek me too...i totally feel ya!!
I am yours Alanis.
Agree
The world is getting worse. Listening one good song repeatedly, is much better than listening a bad song.
I always come back to this album when my life is shit and turned upside down over a woman.
Im still lovin you, Baby!
Lisa called it ... Zeitlos ...damals ...
They should make this song the theme song for "13 Reasons Why"
Ouch!
they prefer CDs
Tapes
I think this is the best of the album...and really good song in general. However it is depressive...
αвѕσℓυтєℓу ℓσνє тнιѕ ѕσиg αи∂ уσυя мαиу σтнєяѕ.. αℓαиιѕ єтєяиαℓ..
@lunalovett uhh, then i already understood something :) well thank u now i know the whole meaning
Sounds like a Placebo song
Thats why she is a star and I am not. nicki
i'm sorry 4 i'm about to asking, but i'm italian and though i've translated the lyrics, i don't think i've completely understood his meaning.. someone can tell me what's the clear story behind this beautiful musical pearl, please...????
Maybe she felt sad because she split with ryan reynolds
No wait it was law and order
Self-pity is dangerous...
They could be Osama Bin Laden and the Joker. Who else could they be if they are wise enough.
This is why I hate love :(
Best song on a rather mediocre overly-techno release.
