Giggling Again for No Reason
Ecstasy Drive: Alanis's Joyous Journey on Highway One
Lyrics
I am driving in my car up highway one
Driving on Highway One, starting a journey.
I left L.A. without telling anyone
Left Los Angeles without informing anyone.
There were people who needed something from me
People depended on her, but she believes they'll manage without her.
But I'm sure they'll get along fine on their own
Confident that others will be fine on their own.
Oh, this state of ecstasy
Experiencing a state of ecstasy.
Nothing but road could ever give to me
The joy comes from the open road.
This liberty wind in my face
Feeling liberated with the wind in her face.
And I'm giggling again for no reason
Experiencing unexplained laughter and happiness.
I am dancing with my friends in elation
Dancing with friends in a state of elation.
We've taken adventures to new levels of fun
Embarking on adventurous and fun experiences with friends.
I can feel the bones are smiling in my body
Sensations of joy expressed physically, bones "smiling."
I can see the meltings of inhibition
Breaking free from inhibitions and constraints.
Oh this state of ecstasy
Continuing the experience of ecstasy.
Nothing but road could ever give to me
Emphasizing that the road brings this joy.
This liberty wind in my face
Feeling liberated with the wind on her face.
And I'm giggling again for no reason
Experiencing spontaneous laughter for no apparent reason.
I'm reeling jubilation
Overwhelmed with jubilation and triumph.
Triumphant in delight
Experiencing great delight and victory.
I'm at home in this high five
Feeling at home and comfortable in a celebratory atmosphere.
And I'm smiling for no reason
Smiling without a specific cause, expressing happiness.
I am sitting at the set of Cali sun
Sitting under the California sun, contemplating.
We've gotten quiet for its last precious seconds
Quieting down to savor the final moments of daylight.
I can feel the salt of the sea on my skin
Feeling the sea salt on her skin, a sensory experience.
And we still hear the echoes of abandon
Hearing echoes of abandon, reminiscing about carefree moments.
Oh, this state of ecstasy
Reiterating the state of ecstasy.
Nothing but net could ever give to me
Connecting the joy to a basketball metaphor, emphasizing precision.
This liberty wind in my face
Liberty and happiness with wind in her face.
And I'm giggling again for no reason
Experiencing unexplained laughter and joy once again.
