X-Static Process

I've been struggling with my "X" post, and I even elicited the help of my friend Eric G., who gave me a couple of ideas which I could not personally expand upon even though I tried.  So thank you Eric.  So, all of a sudden this morning I thought of this song by Madonna from her much maligned album, American Life.  The song is an acoustic ballad that makes no use of the title within its lyrics.  The song's kind of sad, and I can identify with its lyrics, which you can find below.  Nice song!

 
Madonna - X-Static Process (Live Mtv) by Giouft


X-Static Process

I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now

[Chorus]

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Don't really know if I should give a damn
When you're around, I don't know who I am

I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself alone at night
I'm not myself, don't know who to call
I'm not myself at all

[Chorus]

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself all alone at night
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now
Don't know what I believe

[Chorus]

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you
