Innocence Lyrics

waking up to see that everything is okay
the first time in my life and now it's so great
slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best...

   I think its about her trying to get clean after being addicted to drugs, but because of her addiction, its hard for her and she recalls the first time she used it, how it felt and what it turned her into
   
   Waking up to see that everything is okay (Meaning she didn't die from overdose or something)
   the first time in my life and now it's so great (clearing up the fear of taking drugs due to the bad connotations in today's society)
   slowing down I look around and I am so amazed (realizing how foolish she was before using drugs)
   I think about the little things that make life great (remembering what she felt during the time she was high)
   
   I wouldn't change a thing about it
   This is the best feeling...
   (not regretting her choice to do drugs and remembering how awesome it was)
   
   This innocence is brilliant (referring to her first time taking drugs, because of the stories of people getting addicting, this is probably the most innocent you will feel after being addicted)
   I hope that it will stay
   This moment is perfect
   Please don't go away (She hopes she wont get addicted to it)
   I need you now (Oops too late)
   and I'll hold on to it
   Don't you
   Let it pass you by... (Being in rehab and remembering the first high she felt, using it to get clean because afterwards, she will never be able to experience it ever again if she stays clean)
   
   
   
   I found a place, so safe, not a single tear
   The first time in my life and now it's so clear (The state of mind she was in when she was high, meaning every problem in her life disappeared)
   Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here (admitting she likes getting high and feels that this is the real her)
   It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere (she knows that its not right and need to get clean. hence the rehab bit up there)
   
   
   It's the state of bliss
   you think you're dreaming (describing how she felt when she was high)
   it's the happiness inside
   that you're feeling (knowing that all your problems disappear, being perfect)
   it's so beautiful
   it makes you wanna cry (knowing that if she gets clean she will never be able to experience this feeling again)

   To me, innocence not only captures the essence and bliss of life but performance. To me it replicates the feeling you have when you're on stage and your innocent because nothing else matters; you can be whatever and forget about everything. From on the stage, the world seems perfect and she needs that.

   Avril said this about it:
   
   "Well, the song is about capturing a moment in time, of like ... a perfect moment of bliss and happiness and holding onto it. I'm very happy in my life right now. The song is always so beautiful to me, and I actually just listened to it yesterday 'cos I hadn't heard my CD for awhile and I wanted to flip through 'em—thinking about my live show—so I listened to it and I was like f*ck! I love that song too because it's so stripped down that you really hear my voice, and it comes across very singer-songwriter-y, which is of course a side to me that I have. And, um, I find it to be a very emotional song, too."

   Waking up to see that everything is okay
   the first time in my life and now it's so great
   slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
   I think about the little things that make life great
   
   "At this verse it shows waking up whether literally or hypothetically and realizing how good life actually is after living in the darkness of pain and realizing how precious life really is and its the little things that make life worth living"
   
   I wouldn't change a thing about it
   This is the best feeling...
   
   This innocence is brilliant
   I hope that it will stay
   This moment is perfect
   Please don't go away
   I need you now
   and I'll hold on to it
   Don't you
   Let it pass you by...
   
   
   "And how when you get this realization or feeling you don't need to over look it but hold it close charish it because you never know when it will disappear"
   
   I found a place, so safe, not a single tear
   The first time in my life and now it's so clear
   Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
   It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
   
   "I think this is kind of talking about finding your happy place maybe the place in your mind where you can store this realization so you can go back and look at it and remember it when times get hard and your able to be a strong and open up to more people or situations"
   
   It's the state of bliss
   you think you're dreaming
   it's the happiness inside
   that you're feeling
   it's so beautiful
   it makes you wanna cry
   
   "This sing is definitely talking about realizing the good in life treasuring it and finding the spot in your mind everyone needs. This verse completely summarizes the feelings you'll get when you find the happiness and joy and peace loving life and appreciating the little things will give you.
   
   *I may be wrong but this is what I get from it*

   I think this song is about appreciating and cherishing life because you only get to live it once
   people should take advantage of every opportunity life gives you and to make the best of everything & to not miss out on any life moments cause youll never get them back

   FIRST time I heard this song I thought it was about sex lol but now the more I listen to it I know it's about enjoy every little moment of life and don't let anything pass you by cause you only have one life to live. but yeah I can see how it could about a guy she loves,the catch: he possibly doesn't realize it. and she's trying to tell him how what they have is so special.....but that is just my thoughts so don't go all crazy on me : )
