Avrilian Analysis

As we've seen and heard, totally pointless and stupid lyrics are not alien to us. But the undisputed queen of bad lyrics is Avril Lavigne. This is one of her most popular songs. When I listened to it, a lotta questions popped in my mind. So I decided to jot them down.

I'm with you

I'm standin' on the bridge (Great. What next? Hurry up, no coast guard around)
I'm waitin' in the dark, (Even if they are, they won't see you!)
I thought that you'd be here, by now. (Err. Who?)

Theres nothing but the rain, (Thank Heavens for that)
no footsteps on the ground, (Yay!)
Im listening, but there's no sound. (Er. But what about the rain? Are you deaf?)

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? (Nope… definitely not!)
Won't somebody come take me home. (Ewwww. You must be kiddin! We hate rats!)

Chorus:
It's a damn cold night, (Sheh men! Who would have thought?)
Tryin' to figure out this life, (The fact that you're on a bridge in the dark means you've already failed?)
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new, (The mental hospital cool with you?)
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you.
I'm with you.(Who, again?! Have you been kidnapped?! Yay!)

I'm lookin' for a place, (Aha! IPHB)
I'm searchin' for a face, (You definitely lost yours after Girlfriend, dincha?)
Is anybody here I know, (No one would dare admit it, anyways)
Cause' nothin's goin right, (I can see that)
And everything's a mess, (Well, you definitely are))
And no one likes to be alone. (Ahh. And what about the person you didn't know whom you were with??!)

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? (Again, no)
Won't somebody come take me home. (hahahaha. As Dickens would say, Great expectations)

Chorus:
It's a damn cold night,
Tryin' to figure out this life, (Stilll???!!! Thought you would be done by now! :( )
Won't you take me by the hand, (Hand? Naah. Maybe a leash, if I HAD to)
Take me somewhere new, ( :) There's a lot of new places if you'd only jump over your bridge!)
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you. I'm with you. (Not again, please… Shit! is that you, Fred?)
Yaeah (:| )

Oh, why is everything so confusing, (No no, Avril, it's just you)
Maybe I'm just out of my mind, (BIINNGGOOOOOOO!!!!!! Finally!! :) )
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ( Happy realization!)

Chorus:
It's a damn cold night
Tryin to figure out this life (After these atrocious lyrics, so am I)
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new (Heeeeee)
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you
I'm with you (Hey but wait. If it's both dark and silent (apart from the fact that you're alone), how do you deduce that there's someone with you?! Megalomania? Eh! Screw you man. I'm wasting time listening to you :( )
