This song is my life. really sad actually, but i love that i can have a song that relates so completely to me and my situation. i love alanis, thank you!
I think it is about feeling vulnerable and feeling more susceptible to things, maybe coz of something you are thinking of, or that has happened. So it sort of changes your view of yourself, when you are not feeling as strong as you normally would, which is reflected in your perception of yourself, ie- not feeling as sexy, or interesting.
I think that anybody can interpret this song to anything going on in their life. Some people relate it with God, some with friends or relationships or boys, maybe even family. It all just depends what you're going thorugh :)
Personally I never thought the song as referring to God, rather her own struggle to accept herself and not be let by others thoughts - quite individualistic and self-sufficient, on the contrary. Maybe God helps some people accept themselves.
Was a difficult one this .... as tried to find images to go with the song and but the chorus repeats too many times which is why their is repeat pics but still one of my fav songs
She is the best

I love her, and I'm pretty sure this album remains my favorite. This song sings my heart, as only Alanis and Tori can.

i really dont think the song is for a woman.
I mean it sounds very human in general. Sure maybe change sexy to beautiful or hansome.
But Im sure you get the idea.

I could identyfied with the lyrics.
That made me conscient of the interpenetrating
nature and the shearing between us of the love of GOD. That's my comment.
It helped me to find happiness again.
Just look at her eyes when she sings looking up!
And meditate while looking at her video(everything)
Draw your own conclusion.
Open your hearts to the (oneness) of the universe....lets be thankfull for the unmerited grace of God. Ciao!

she even said it herself that her songs are open for interpretation, so you don't have to be such an asshole.

Hi,everybody.
I want to testify about something special that happened to me while i was listening to her music and especialy this song.
I was down and blue feeling unsatisfied, generally speaking.
So i prayed and i was listening to the background harmonicks of this song.
And in my case,i felt in tune with the holy spirit,as the musicians all seems to be while playing in harmony as just ONE person.
go to next comment please.
