Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "That Particular Time" von Alanis Morissette beschreibt eine Zeit in ihrer Beziehung, in der sie mit Unsich...

My foundation was rocked
My tried and true way to deal was to vanish
My departures were old
I stood in the room shaking in my boots
At that particular time love had challenged me to stay
At that particular moment I knew not to run away again
That particular month I was ready to investigate with you
At that particular time

We thought a break would be good
For four months we sat an vacillated
We thought a small time apart
Would clear out the doubts that were abounding
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
At that particular moment it helped me to be patient
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
At that particular time

I've always wanted for you
What you've wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself
I'm sorry I lost myself... I am

You knew you needed more time
Time spend alone with no distraction
You felt you needed to fly
Solo and high to define what you wanted
At that particular time love couraged me to leave
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
That particular month was harder than you'd believe
But I still left
At that particular time
