I think edbear's interpretation (on the first page) is the closest, in my opinion, to what I think the song is about. If the song was written for 'City of Angels' (where it appears) then subwoofer's (again on first page) is the best fit. From the research that I did into when the song was released, when the movie was released and filmed, and the original intention to never have this song as a single for Alanis - I think subwoofer's post is the most accurate. It's really interesting to read the interpretations of what the song means to different people. The most unique that I read was when it was written that it was about having a secret admirer/crush and the recipient not having asked for that person to have those feelings. In my experience, it's very rare to have two people immediately want to pursue a relationship with each other, and therefore one person has a crush on the other and tries to get closer to them to get to know them (ie. getting to know someone before dating). Based on this I find it shocking to read that the meaning of the song, to some people, is that of a secret admirer revealing a crush and the recipient feeling violated. It's almost like saying/feeling that the giver's love is not good enough for the recipient and they want nothing to do with it. If anyone is in that position here - that person (who thinks they are too good for your love - really isn't good enough to have your love. Anyway, that was my little rant. Great song though... I do think edbear and subwoofer are the closest though. |
