I think everyone's chief complaint is that the song is too literal, and the lyrics pretty bland. But do we consider the lyrics so literal because we know what they mean? What if she hadn't told that story in the interviews, leaving us to speculate as to what the lyrics were about? As though we had no idea of her mid-90s writing block?

Just a thought.
One interesting thing about TMMS is that it is billed as a hymn to her return to songwriting prowess, yet it is cowritten with several other people!
