What do Jewel's "Serve the Ego" lyrics mean?

Mirror, mirror

Do you like

What you see?

I'll dance for you

If you dance for me

Who says a woman

Cannot serve?

It would be my pleasure

Who says it is

Not my destiny

To let you control me?

Underneath the disco light

Everybody's feelin' all right

Get on your hands and knees

And praise the new deity

Serve the ego

Serve the ego

Two ships sailing

On a neon sea

Eat the flesh

Spit out the seeds

Feathered hair

And lame heels

What turns me on

Is so surreal

Underneath the disco light

Everybody's feelin' all right

Get on your hands and knees

And praise the new deity

Serve the ego

Serve the ego

Tut tut, oh, to discover oh

Oh no, you're yesterday's lover

Underneath the disco light

Everybody's feelin' all right

Get on your hands and knees

And praise the new deity

Serve the ego

Serve the ego

What do Jewel's "Serve the Ego" lyrics mean?

Jewel wrote this with songwriters Cesar Lemos and Itaal Shur. Says Shur: "That resulted from a Warner-Chappel writers camp. She was there, and we started writing some songs together and a lot of cool stuff came out. We sat in a room with a couple of instruments and started to jam. I think that song came from a loop on the Triton. We put that loop on and started playing some quasi-Indian stuff and then the next thing you know, we've got a little bit of groove. One of us comes up with the melody and she says, 'Oh, I've got a good lyric for that.'" (Thanks to Itaal for speaking with us about this song. For more, check out itaalshur.com)
