The thing is that the stories are always the same, the only difference lies in HOW the message is conveyed through her lyrics. She can use difference styles, so I personally still think it's fine at the end of the day. Elaboration on a same point is always good.
I see what you're saying and it makes sense.

But then that must mean she's been writing about the same topic for awhile now. Why not something uplifting? Or something new rather than self-doubt and loss? I think she's emphasized her point thoroughly enough already.
