Alanis Morissette’s Inspiration for ‘Guardian’ [LYRICS & VIDEO]

Alanis Morissette is back. She has a new album called 'Havoc and Bright Lights' due out in August and she has a new song we're playing called "Guardian".

Check out the video, the lyrics, and her inspiration for the song below.

In 2010, Morissette married rapper Mario “MC Souleye” Treadway, and also gave birth to their first child, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway. Being a wife, a mother and an artist at the same time forced some changes in her life and some of those changes helped inspire her music. Check out this video she put about about her inspiration for the song 'Guardian'.

And without further adieu, here is the lyric video that new song of hers. Let me know what you think.

Alanis Morissette's "Guardian". From the upcoming album 'Havoc and Bright Lights'.

Lyrics:

You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain

You who has soldiered through the profane

They were distracted and shut down

 

So why, why would you talk to me at all

Such words were dishonorable and in vain

Their promise as solid as a fog

and where was your watchman then

 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

 

You, you in the chaos feigning sane

You who has pushed beyond what’s humane

Them as the ghostly tumbleweed

And where was your watchman then

 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

 

Now no more smiling mid-crestfall

No more managing unmanageables

No more holding still in the hailstorm

Now enter your watchwoman

 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

 

Whoa-a-oh…
