| Alanis Morissette – Not The Doctor Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about co-dependence. The singer is saying she does not want to be his co-dependent - to be what fills him and to enable him. My daughter was 12 when Jagged Little Pill came out and she told me "Mommy this is so about you and Daddy" - she was right. It was about 3 months after I left him when I had been through a couple of years of therapy and learned the meaning of codependence and how I was his co-dependent. To this day when asked why I left my marriage I refer to this song. It says it better than I ever ever ever could. Alanis had such insight for such a young person. |
