Well, it's art. Each person can derive their own meaning. And titles don't always have to spell out what the song is about.
If he wanted everyone to know exactly what he meant by his lyrics, he might as well just write a book instead.
Because I don't consider myself a knowledgable critic of the written word (books, music, poetry), I've personally never had an issue with the content of BC's lyrics... until Zeitgeist forward.
From that point, something about the lyrics just feels... uninspired maybe? ...less rich/coded with imagery like you would find on Siamese Dream or MCIS... maybe even lazy.
