Baby Frankensteins: In Our Own Way

In Our Own Way
Hmmm... What can I say about this song? I almost would have to take it apart line by line. I was in a time where I was really upset with the men in my life, the men in the world, but just as angry at the women in the world for taking a lot of bullshit they didn't deserve. But at the same time, I realized that the only ones standing in the women's way... was the women.
Oh, and the "she?" She's someone very close to me who said very wise things.
My baby frankensteins, for which the album is named, is anything creative I've ever done. I constantly feel protective of anything I make, including my songs, and am reluctant to display them to the "villagers" (you). At the same time, they're the reason I'm here on earth.

Driving back through roses

And I'm through with this time of day

Pouring through the bullshit

And the lies of this time of day

And I realize what she's said she's said all along

I think Ophelia had it right--

Just throw myself in a river

Every time the men go crazy
With their rites of passage and their rules of conduct

What do they have that I don't have?
Hey, world, when did you turn your back on me?
And I will do all it takes until you make sense again

We are all in our way

And she said it's not so bad

What to do or what to say to make sure

I get my money's worth this time around

Because one day when this empire falls

I will be the only one left standing tall

You should have known that I would be the one left standing tall

Hey, world, when did you turn your back on me?
And I will do all it takes until you make sense again

We are all in our own way

And she said it's not so bad

And if she said it's not so bad, then it must be not so bad

We'll show them

Well, I'm just here to protect my baby frankensteins from the villagers

Hey, world, when did you turn your back on me?
Hey, world, why won't you look at me?

And I will do all it takes until you make sense again

We are all in our way

And she said it's not so bad
