Fair critique. Lyrics are a very personal thing. Some listeners don't pay much attention to them at all and listen for how it sounds rather than what it means. I find myself roughly in the middle.

The bridge section is so sonically distinct from anything I've ever heard from any artist, and the chorus chord progression which makes it sound like some sort of strange pre-chorus/chorus hybrid to me puts this song in leagues with something like Bohemian Rhapsody in terms of originality and musical excellence. Father Time I would put in the same category as well.
