after reading SN's explanation of her Beautiful Child lyrics and i think LB's of her Storms or one of the other Tusk song lyrics, i am now enjoying seeing people deciphering that completely literal re-telling of some conversations from her life in some of her songs.

i think if you have interest in SN as a person, those kinds of lyrics and knowing how they came about / what events or conversations they transmit, those have to be a treasure trove.
