I always felt the singer was speaking to Athena not about Athena. Pouring out his love woes to Athena as a confidant, a friend, (Greek goddess of wisdom, a wise and prudent adviser, among other things). Trying to convince himself its ok, "she's just a girl", he will get over the failed relationship, and "she's a bomb", as in a dud, and not worth lamenting over. Just my thoughts. Carla
