What does Avril lavigne's song innocence mean?

Answer 1

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)
