But the point is that she's singing a song about a person who she thinks is thinking the song is about them, implying that the song she's singing about this person is not actually about the person she's singing the song about but some other person she's not even singing the song about, even though it's about them.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I do know that in the past, here in California (I think) a urologist got "IV SKIN" as a vanity plate.

Are you saying that she missed her calling as frontwoman of an early-eighties-style punk rock band called Urine Stain? Perhaps so.
