What??? WICA is simply one of the best songs Billie has ever written, with some of the best lyrics. It is absolutely NOT generic. He wrote the song for Adrienne, during a time they had broken up. He is telling her to go try something new, but she may find out that there was nothing between them to begin with. In a relationship, no matter what you choose to do, there will always be consequences and you need to live with those.
"So go do what you like, but try and do it wise. You may find out that your self doubt means nothing was ever there. You can't go forcing something if it's just not right"
One of the best series of lines Billie has ever written. So true and so helpful in life. Honestly, it helped me dump a boyfriend of 2 years. I knew it wasn't right between us but was too scared to dump him. This song helped me to change that.
It also has one of the best bass lines ever, IMO better than Longview.
However, I do agree with you on 21CB. It is brilliant.
