Lyric discussion by naughtmoses 

Cover art for Spineless lyrics by Alanis Morissette

THIS is the most direct lyrical address of co-dependence (look up Pia Mellody, Ann Wilson Schaef, Melody Beattie and James Rapson, as well as Timmen Cermak) in a romantic framework in her library. (Did she read Mellody's =Facing Love Addiction= or Schaef's =Escape from Initimacy?= Maybe.)

Al's been down this road before ("Not the Doctor," "Precious Illusions"), but never so bluntly. Perhaps she's, err, frustrated with her own (or others) apathy?
