More Song Interpretation Fun

I woke up with "Front Row" by Alanis Morissette in my head, so I turned it on while getting dressed. For the first time I made a certain connection - the line "I like you to be schooled and in awe, as if you were kissed by god full on the lips" - immediately I thought of the movie Dogma, in which Alanis, playing the part of God, does indeed kiss Jay full on the lips.

Then other lines, such as "I started by saying things like 'you smoke,' 'you live in New Jersey,'" and "why can't you shut your stuff off?" reinforced the implication. It's a weird, highly unlikely interpretation, most likely totally wrong, but it's fun to think about on a Sunday morning before I've reached my usual level of sanity.
