Cover art for London lyrics by Alanis Morissette

this is the most confusing song ever. I am from England, I have wondered if she is talking about BEING a statue in london? Has anyone else considered this or am i being stupid? "The hard shell bugs bite my forearm My right index fingernail chewed to the quick" - could this be referring to the decaying of a monument? "My friends come to visit and love me a lot I don't have the energy to fill them in"- a reference to tourists coming to visit the statue they love- although it never speaks back. "I am intrigued by the boy with songs sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not"...referring to buskers who perform around such monuments?? I don't know- maybe i've got it completely wrong, what do people think? p.s. the lyrics on this site are wrong in parts.
