| I agree with most of the posts here, although I think the song is also about how you shouldn't be angry or depressed about regretting stupid, past-experiences; either something bad has happened to you, or you've made a really dumb mistake but you learn from it and get on wiht you're life. Most people can relate to it. | |

| I love this song. Everytime I hear it, I just feel like jumping out and running outside, and I dunno, just doing something. Works great as a pick-me-up song. | |

| I really like this song too! It's a great lesson! The most striking about it is that, what she says appears to be so obvious but that's what we tend to forget so easily! | |

| I love this song, it sends such a great message! You only live once, so make the most of it... Don't sit around, good experiences or bad, use them all to make the most of your life and be a better person. | |

| The song is about thinking positive about things, that often bring us down.. 'Cause when all comes to all, you learn from your mistakes, so it's not really that bad at all.. I really like this song.. It has helped me before, when I was feeling depressed.. It's absolutely great. | |

| It reminds me of someone who has always been the one to hurt the other person, then it happens to them and you have to swallow this jagged little pill. Serious wake up call. | |

| I think this is about learning from your experiences. And that the more life experience you gain, you wiser you get and that if you weren't exposed to pain, and love and all the things Alanis mentions, you'd never understand what it's like to really live. The verses say to me that the message is 'Try everything once' and to have no regrets. It's quite a deep song if you think about it and i am a big Alanis Morisette fan. I just love screaming along to this song and all of her others! 'Jagged Little Pill' is by far her best album. | |
