Even though her old lyrics are teenage angsty in their topic, I don't think they're written in such a way - mainly because they contain elements of hope and seeing the light. They were direct, honest and easy to empathise with.
Her lyrics now are much more varied in topic and a lot happier, but I think in doing that she lost a lot of the direct nature and honesty that made her older lyrics so powerful. She still writes great songs now, but that tends to happen when she's getting something out emotionally - which from her interviews - it gives the impression that all her old lyrics were of that nature.
