This, absolutely. Also, while she's moved away from this particular strength to some extent in recent years, there is a reason that one of the Rolling Stone writers said she had "a genius for verse-chorus-bridge architecture."

I don't generally think her lyrics are genius in the purely artistic sense. I think many of them are really good, but I don't personally tend to see them as genius, because at their root I honestly do find them slightly toothless. However, I wholeheartedly agree with that Rolling Stone writer that she has a level of genius for how a song is structured, which is a hell of a gift to have, IMO.

I'm honestly never more in awe of her gift for her craft that when I go back and listen to some of her earliest unreleased work, and it's like "Okay somebody explain to me how the fuck a fourteen-year-old wrote this rock-solid song that I am instantly addicted to."
