LYRICS
You'll rescue me. Right?
In the exact same way they never did.
I'll be happy. Right?
When your healing powers kick in.
You'll complete me. Right?
Then my life can finally begin.
I'll be worthy. Right?
Only when you realize the gem I am.
But this won't work now the way it once did.
And I won't keep it up even though I would love to.
Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am,
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim.
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
When I was defenceless.
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
This ring will help me yet as will you, knight in shining armour.
This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water.
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss.
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am,
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim.
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid.
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend.
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me.
I've spent so much time living in survival mode.
This won't work now the way it once did
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss.
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am,
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim.
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
When I was defenceless.
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
When I was a kid.
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend.
A song that should have gone much higher on the charts! I love it!
agreed
This is her best song I believe, it should of been number one on the charts, if not top 10 clearly speaking!
Eric Springer I disagree. only the chosen ones by destiny will know the existence of this song. we are a select club my friend.
Alisa Karter my favorite.
agbqto I love this song, too! I have a Facebook group for all Alanis fans called "The Alanis Alliance: A Sanctuary for All Fans of Alanis Morissette." Feel free to join!
If she only knew what this song meant to a then 16 year old girl...just as much as it now means to a 38 year old woman. Thank You Alanis!!
Alanis has a very particular feminine way to express herself. Through her voice and her lyrics. I think it’s beautiful.
I rather a precious illusion than a perfect one
My favorite Song
Wow, amazing song and video - that final face-meld knocks me over!
ok I was in the same state as in this song a few years ago ... now I'm trying to heal ... and this song can also be about other illusions as well ...
I never paid attention to the text and today my intuition told me to check the translation and the music video. All this sad situation that I was in a few years ago is in this song. Well ... it's cleansing
You are such a princesss!!! Much love to you!!! 😍
really surprising that she has such a large male following guess its cause she able to intelligentualize her emotions so well. People tend to forget guys are the otherside of a womans emotions so we share the same experiences from different perspectives. i totally see myself as the guy in her Precious Illusions because i have the same expectations.
+Free Reign Network So weird. I JUST heard this song this afternoon. I just bought it and listened 5 times in a row. I'm a 40 year old male---- and I'm one of those fuddy-duddies - I sort of despise most music that came after the 80s...maybe even the 90s. But I find myself obsessed with this song and I'm not quite sure what it means yet. Just love it so much.
+Carl Bonroy it's probably because it's her😂I mean,she's just so timeless,and talented,almost as if she's some filter between us and whatever you believe,some divine being,God whatever it is,all I know is that I haven't come across many people who don't like her voice,even if they're into a completely different genre of music!But,then again,I haven't had an awful lot of life experience,so,I could be completely wrong,but hey,why not?😂😂
Abby it's as good a reason as any! It's quite all right to dream a bit, and think out of the box. In the end I guess the answer is inside each of us - just sometimes it takes time to find it. I just love this song. If you haven't - see the acoustic version it's here on UA-cam
Carl Bonroy oh my god of course I've seen it!!its amazing...thank you for my reminding me of it im gonna go listen to it again haha!
The divine feminine always pairs with the divine masculine. When they are at their highest vibration there is that innate understanding between the two that results in unconditional love. Its when they are at their lower forms, problems and misunderstandings arise.
...I storyboarded this music video. Fun gig!
Relationships are an extravert's sport. Have you got the energy as an introvert to scour your city for "The One"?
in every part of my live. alanis gave me inspirations
Be you , cuz we all need a little magic in our lives
An angel ....nothing less...
Precious song video
been looking for this song
🏆
grande canzone grande
Me trae recuerdos de mi adolecencia ♡ *-*
A stranger told me it's his favorite song.😊 I hope you're fine there.
so cute video.
Ameiiiiiiiii show
Esse clipe é muito bom!
como cambian los tiempos
reminds me of (500) days of summer - scene when tom goes to summer's party, only to find out she is getting married :((
all ways wanted to be her lover!1
muy buena música
DONE ( E foi ótimo!) 😂🖤❤👑👑
Utubes of rock and roll follow one another on this music wheel of the internet my son Robby taught me sitting by his side at his computer
Its 2020, I'm uninspired. Didn't make it through dry January dry. I'm now 5 wines in thinking... I'm gonna grow the hair like Alanis.. wtfwAd.
Back to 2002...
it's awn l

uma pena que e mal lembrada nas resenhas pra mim supera o refrao de hands clean .
1751 aldebaran anyone?
Loving the "Expectations vs Reality" concept. It reminds me of that scene from 500 Days of Summer. Alanis always had incredible insights for her age, I can't thank her enough.
Her first 3 albums should be taught as masterclass in song writing in college music studies
Yup. Sadly it gets a bit repetitious towards her later career. Not as much originality and just the same old song topics. Oh well, still one of the greatest.
@@MrBottlecapBill maybe ,but she just writes about her experiences at that moment in her live. Like a couple years ago about her children. The song "Ablaze" That song stands up there with those first 3 albums.
JLP was here third album.
2020 anyone? ♥
Me!
Me to!
Everyone! ;)
Love it
Croatia does too 🤟🏻😎
When I hear this song, it brings to mind my own experience with maladaptive daydreaming, which is a coping mechanism I've had since childhood, as well as my experience with limerence. It hits on a very personal level. I listen to this and then I look back on my life and reflect on the years I spent absent from the world around me, hoping for something more than what was in front of me.
@@jordanallen3078 you could have just said you have never once known what you're talking about
Yes definitely her music was my salvation back in tje day ans still relatable because we all have that part of us that wants to stay asleep ❤😂
@@jordanallen3078 Nothing they're describing, absolutely nothing is characteristic of narcissism. Please keep your ignorance to yourself.
It's hard to separate yourself from that as a coping mechanism. I hope you found a way to enjoy the world around you, and that you're free from the people who caused you to retreat internally like that.
you and everyone else. go get it, and revel in what you get
I think this song and video really demonstrate the power of social and cultural conditioning too...that finding a partner or love or our life is somehow going to magically solve each and every one of our problems and we will never struggle again (the 'happily ever after/knight in shining armour' myth.) Even if it's not conscious or you don't believe it completely or with your rational mind, I think most people at least somewhat buy into this myth subconsciously (myself included to an extent, although trying to evolve past it) because it is just so seductive and a way of abdicating responsibility, and such a prevalent myth the world over. But in reality we are all human and have our limitations, don't get me wrong someone can be an absolutely amazing influence in your life but no one is without some human limitations ... we should aim to love ourselves before seeking someone else, then we learn to have boundaries and not put up with unfair treatment
Love is by itself mythologized, otherwise it would not be love, but a scientific insight into how the hormone is in the human body. The tendency toward oneself and the tendency towards the partner only coincide somewhat. In either case, it is about partiality or favouring yourself or your partner. But there is an important difference. We can not self-absorbed. We can only fall in love by interacting with another person.
There are people we try to idolise in our minds as being angels,turn out to be demons sometimes.
Renato Đurđević - You’re answer we’re so short but so consistent. It’s the kind of way that genius people respond (sorry for my English)
I do believe in greek wisdom($ophia) as you do.
Life coaches everywhere. Any idea of how much cost onsession? Guess its beneficial for everyone. Different kind of pay rolls for different people. War at peace.
Very powerful message for any young girl. However, some illusions and dreams can save you as a kid as the song tells.
Mi video favorito!! Amo este tema. Refleja tal cual cómo las mujeres idealizamos las relaciones y cómo ocurren en la realidad. Y el resultado forma parte de una sociedad que nos transmite divisiones de roles, cómo las mujeres debemos ocupar el lugar de princesas rescatadas por príncipes, colocándonos en el lugar de vulnerables. El concepto del tema ,y la versión de mostrarlo así, en mitades, reflejando cada parte es tan original . No me canso de escucharlo una y otra vez! 💖
Aunque Alanis dice que no piensa jugar a la víctima en esta canción. Es cierto que hay roles injustos en esta sociedad, por eso la mujer debe encontrar el mejor para ella.
yo tambiién... me gusta el todo.... ALANIS s2
Afortunadamente eso ha cambiado bastante com el tiempo
alguna vez busco lo que Alanis expresaba en este video?...
Exacto pura ilusión....!!! No solo las mujeres también los hombres idealizamos cosas que no son.
I LOVE the concept of this video, it's probably one of my favourite music videos ever! The acheing gap between idealised fantasy and reality that exists for many people (although some people have the fairytale...ok every couple has trials and tribulations but extremely happy relationships DO exist for sure!! (albeit not perfect ones as we are all human and have limitations of time, energy, patience etc) remember it's better to be alone than with someone who makes you feel all alone when you are with them. Happy Valentine's Day to all singletons out there (including me!) your time will come, love yourself and have faith in the universe, it's better to wait for someone amazing than to put up with people who treat you like sh*t. (Although SOMEtimes, experience is the best teacher, but don't put up with sh*t you know is compromising your self love and dignity...
This is my favorite era of Alanis, she was so feminine, powerful and honest. I think she was 27 at the time. A great role model for anyone at any age
Definitely ... One of the most spiritual, naturally beautiful, pure artists EVER!!!!
Mariano Felan Then we got the So-called Chaos era when she cut her hair and turned into a soccer mom.
Michael H you can thank Ryan Reynolds for that 😒
@@adagiobreeze8493 I think she did better work after she accepted being God. Thank You, Uninvited, Crazy cover, and ofcourse Still!
Feminine?
One of the most genius, and underrated songs, ever
Tarek Essam what’s so underrated about over 4 million views?
@@Makilock1 well if you put against other songs... looks like 4M against 12M or just 5M is just 1M.... when you realized that we talking about millions...
@@Makilock1 It actually did really bad when it came out. It was the second single from Under Rug Swept, and this did so bad it cancelled plans for a 3rd. But I agree with Tarek, this is my absolute favorite Alanis song, and I am a huge fan of hers.
I see everyone’s point, I guess what I’m trying to also point out is that nobody ever seems to be happy, I don’t know if that’s the correct word. All I ever see is in comments is either someone is overrated or underrated, nobody ever seems correctly rated or appropriately rated, if there is even such a thing. Just because I don’t like Billie Eilish, I wouldn’t particularly say she is overrated, just because I don’t care about her music. I normally listen to “underrated” music, because the overrated (whether or not they really are) ones just seem too commercial sometimes.
I agree. Another one of her underrated songs is So Pure. I love all of her music
I wish Alanis could know how much her music has done for me. I've cultivated a strength from within with the help of her music. There are VERY few artists that resonate at this level with me. She is most definitely my favourite artist and one I will be listening to until the day I die.
I'd like to meet her!!! I have never seen her in concert and I feel I really need to
Yes, I should really try to get tickets to her show when she comes to Toronto!!!
@@jordansmith8547 Definitely!!!
that was so beautiful what you just said about her I love her too in the exact same way thanks for writing that
Same, exactly this 🙏❤️🙏
Such beautiful, underrated gem of a song, what lyrics, brings so many memories! This was indeed a different era, so much has happened since then.
Today i'm listening too..
She’s done quite a few really good ones. Inspiring to think about her hearing her voice, and working with the material that comes forth.
This should be mandatory viewing for middle school girls...
Exactly 💯💯
I'm 50 😭😭
These lyrics are dark. She's depending on a guy to save her from her own depression and this song is basically her way of saying she can't do that anymore, she needs to save herself.
❤yes self care is vital yet people do come thru to help us heal. Ive learned to always listen to our intuition when at crossroads. Blessed Be⭐
I loved this song precious illusions
All her songs 🎵 are about sadness & depression
Pretty sure she is being sarcastic......
Or more expectations vs reality
Every single thing she sings and writes is so brilliant and clever and human. My favorite singer ever.
Yes, so human
''Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss...''
Party 2002 and not a selfie or cell phone in sight😊
This perfectly sums up the way I approach romantic relationships. Always through those precious illusions and perfect fantasies which never seem to work out in real life. I wonder if perhaps she was her own knight in shining armour in the end.
LMAO
Alanis has written a song that reflects every way I feel and have felt and her music has given me so much courage to keep going through the years. I am really relating to this right now.
I feel that way with Prince too
The fantasies we have in our heads vs the reality 😊
I came here to remember when I was a teenager, it makes me cry
Majestic song, I love every song Alanis Morrissette has made
Me too!Its honestly a rare thing when you enjoy every single song an artist makes,I mean,I really like her albums before JLP...fate stay with me,then Alanis,and Now is the time I think they were called!😄😄
@@abbyl2521i see
Mad genius! Anyone who thinks she lost her touch after Pill is being controlled by the same radio programmers that keep this & waY, WAYYYYYYYY too much cool S*** off the air (COUGH COUGH, Clear Channel, COUGH COUGH)!
Haha yeah she's badass😂
no sh%t! She's an excellent, smart, moving poet who has improved with age...shocking when you realize how many tasteless, stupid people there are in the world...sheesh...she rocks!
Poet? Really Nancy? Go back to School, or more importantly Read a Book... Preferably the Classics .. You Need Help .
Yes, a poet. She's always been one hell of a writer
This is better than Ironic!
I love it this song. 30/ 05/ 2020 quien más la sigue escuchando y gustando.?
El video siempre me va a seguir haciendo gracia. Un saludo gigante desde Israel.
29 - 05- 2021 , aun sigo escuchando!
@@eliyona1287 un grato saludo desde Maracay Venezuela 😇🙌🙋
@@samu1993 sí me encanta 💕
Still listening in the finals of 2015, and 2016 im going to listen too
yes we will!!!!
Me too :)
August 13, 2016 still 1 of my top 10 fav alanis songs.
2017 here
La mejor época de Alanis! Definitivamente la mejor 😋 mi hija lleva su nombre 😌
Makes me miss 2002 so very much. What I would give to be back watching this on TV.
"princess" Alanis is so beautiful. Some one put her on game of thrones or something.
Ahaha that would be so awesome😂
She played God in the 1999 movie Dogma, if that counts.
isnt she gorgeous? zero pretentious, zero ass boob skanking...but her heart and music abilities are beyond universe!
2 LATE. That show is gone.
What role could she have played,
anyway?
This vid is right at the top of my list for best ever, because it fits the music and tells a story a complicated story. What we have and what we want, how we live an ok life, while dreaming of a more perfect one.
This is one of the best music videos ever made.
Probably the Greatest Song/Concept I've ever seen. Amazing work Alanis!

"The truth" about relationships today in a song and in a video. Brilliant.
MTV, obrigada por apresentar músicas de verdade , ( tive uma infância, adolescência na melhor época, músicas de verdade )coisas assim,levo por toda a vida ❤️
Eu tbm. Obrigado MTV 😃
Perfect song and perfect video. I love it. Sometimes I miss the songs from years 2001 and 2002, they were very inspirational.
I’ve seen a lot of creative, wonderful videos in my life. This one takes number one for me. It really hits a deep spot inside of me, mind, body and soul. My body literally reacts to this as if it is a real past time, and it makes me think so much about how much we have fallen into our own imagination with people who hurt us, but also it keeps me hopeful that I’m not the only person out here in this crazy world that still has integrity, passion, and wants to be in an honest committed union. I hope all of us end up realizing our worth, and escaping the daydream if we find someone is not good for us. We deserve good. We deserve light and love.
That ending, when she starts singing a final melody, and the two sides of the screen become one again... Is so simple but so powerful. Amazing stuff.
Lyrics
You'll rescue me, right?
In the exact same way they never did
I'll be happy, right?
When your healing powers kick in
You'll complete me, right?
Then my life can finally begin
I'll be worthy, right?
Only when you realize the gem I am?
But this won't work now, the way it once did
And I won't keep it up even though I would love to
Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was defenseless
And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will help me yet, as will you, knight in shining armor
This pill will help me yet, as will these boys gone through like water
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss
And though I know who I'm not, I still don't know who I am
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was a kid
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
I've spent so much time living in survival mode
But this won't work now, the way it once did
'Cause I want to decide between survival and bliss
And though I know who I'm not, I still don't know who I am
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was defenseless
And parting with them is like parting with an invisible best friend
These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was a kid
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
The Fairy tale vs Reality. She played the scenario thru in her head and made a choice not to meet the guy after all:P
Helluminati Really ????
Paul Hoeflich Just what I saw. Expectations and reality. Every fairy tale comes to an end, where ending is written by us...
My interpretation is about past lives :)

@@athandog Than you're a gay whom would like to be a woman. Still. lol.
...parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.....
I love Alanis precisely because of this song. and this song brings back a very curious story from my life. When I was a child I heard this song on the radio. I didn't know who was singing. So I dreamed of places exactly like those on the left side of the clip. And years later I went to see the clip on MTV and was amazed. Thanks to that I became a fan of Alanis. It's as if she entered my dream.
Still listening this song in 2014.

Love my Precious Illusions in my head. Thanks Alanis for this Precious Perfect Song
I Come $4 U, Alanis,make No Mistake about it, I a High-Cloud Warrior. Come 4 U, the Holy GraiL its true. Long Hair,I will Die $ U.
Takes me right back to early 2002. Songs are like little time machines sometimes.
One of many Alanís songs that choke me up, tears every time
Especially when you realise its been almost 19 years since it debuted.
Alanis is a musical genius.
Still my favourite video of hers! I remember watching this as a teenager, the best way to be introdyced to Alanis' music. I got hooked!
Great bassline on this song by the way.
her voice is literally therapeutic for me. 💙
No es el año, es hacerte saber que seguimos aquí, escuchando estas obras de arte, te seguimos admirando Alanis esa generación a la que ayudaste a crecer con muy buena Música, hugs and kisses.🌺🌹
Seventeen years after this and I still loving it as if it was the first time!
I just don't know how would be my life without her music. I love you so much Alanis
I feel the same here!
God bless us alanis morissette
Me había olvidado completamente de esta canción y este videoclip. Verlo fue como volver a la preadolescencia.
The guy who's dating Alanis on this video is "Spider" from School Of Rock!
I knew I recognized that guy from somewhere
This video is a masterpiece!
