| @[MaryMaryQuiteContrary:12873] i came here to explain the same thing to you.. it has nothing to do w/booze – it's a metaphor for the addiction that accompanies good chemistry.. in this context, he's using "kissing" as a "gateway drug" to lower her inhibitions.. just like alcohol. | |

@[Grayscale:12319] you are not alone. the others, though clearly the majority, don't seem to understand alanis's wickedly dry humor one bit.. & i should know.. i was a teenage girl in the 90's (which basically makes me an expert on all things alanis) =P the way i understand it, "still" is a mockery of western religion. she begins w/the contradictions inherent in a supreme diety & continues the contradiction theme to express god's love for these ignorant, selfish, destructive, & indignant ppl. it's a lullaby for the self-righteous. alanis was raised catholic & you've only gotta listen to "forgiven" to hear her views on catholicism. in adulthood, she's a practicing buddhist, & buddhists don't worship a supreme being. instead they focus inwardly on self-improvement & they believe in personal accountability. (buddhists try to make the world a better place by being better ppl. they are not the type of ppl only concerned w/seeking forgiveness for their evils thru some diety, without ever actually having to do any better). *forgive YOURSELF & god becomes obsolete* |
