That is the literal interpretation and probably the correct one. I believe she also said that if she had a girl she would have named her Sara. So she took the first name of her aborted baby Sara with the last name of her former husband Anderson.

I never got into the song. Its more spoken poetry than a song to sing. "This is a dream, right! DeJa'Vu"

I think Escape from Berlin is her better rehab song. In any event, its an interesting song to analyze and interpret. When Tango came out, I was a dummy because I never got any of the meaning thus liked the song even less.
