Stevie's songs are usually a mishmash of various influences, so you can assign any meaning or subject matter to them; that's what she does. She may have a source of inspiration for a song, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a linear narrative in the song itself. What "it's about" is as abstract as a impressionistic painting; if you study it for a while, you formulate your own meaning.
Her quote, cited above, is a great example of her twisted muse. She has stories in head that aren't ever fully articulated.
