This song is about her "relationships" in general being caustic. In the beginning ( know he's blood but you can still turn him away, you don't owe him anything ) is a reference to a temultious relationship with her father. Another ode to the Father relationship theory is in this verse
(hey i'm not mad at you guardian i'm mad at myself for spending so much time with you and your
jeckyl and hydeness i'm glad i figuratively slapped you on the wrist you laughed a wicked laugh
and said "come here let me clip your wings!"
(i know he's blood but you can still turn him away you
don't owe him anything) "raise the roof" he yelled "yeah raise the roof!" I yelled back (unfortunately
you needed a health scare to repriortize.) no thanks to the soap box. having me rile against them
won't make an ounce of difference) In that verse she is saying she's not mad at her father or guardian...she's mad at spending so much time with him cause he had multiple personalities and was not very good health wise or didn't take care of himself (unfortunately
you needed a health scare to repriortize.)
(i started by saying things like "you smoke" "you live in new jersey (too far)"
Another relationship also that threads or interlaces the song is the one with her boyfriend, maybe the hockey star she wrote jagged little pill over, when she broke up with him. I think him being a hockey star and being in New Jersey placed such a strain on their relationship that getting to know the real him up close was hard and so when she finally did see him up close for who he was, she was not too happy with what she saw him to be. (in my
current state i think we should be careful of how much time we spend together) She's reconsidering whether she wants to carry on seeing him as much as she has, allowing herself to get too close to someone she isn't sure about.
(.....for a while while i'm speaking to you know how much you hate to be interrupted maybe spend some
time alone fill up your proverbial cup so that it doesn't always have to be about ) This is my favorite verse, so here goes my interpretation of it. Well this is her ex, the hockey player, here she is wrestling with him having an oversized ego and her wanting to have conversations with him that don't just include hin talking about himself....:o) I love it. Go Alanis ;o)
