Sinéad talked about her hard experiences with fame + pregnancy at the same time on the beginning of her career and their consequences to her relationship with a special guy who she really loved. He was actually blaming her sudden fame for the deterioration of their romance. This song is surely an ask of excuses from her to him. Of course her very strong temperament contributed a lot for all the problems she had on those times... I think she was misunderstood by many people because of her aggressive posture, then they saw what they wanted to see, just like in the legend of 'The Emperor's New Clothes', where the king's subjects are convinced by his clever sewer that he's using wonderful new clothes, but he's naked indeed... Well, she talked what she thought and there's a price for being paid when you act at this way and I think she didn't know to deal with it very well.
"They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace"
She meant on these lines above many people tend so easily to judge&condemn other one on taking as base only his/her opinions just because these ones sound very controversial to their 'sensitive' ears, which are used to hear only harmless things. And people who just talks harmless things are untouchable indeed since nobody will attack them. But Sinéad dared to talk loud her opinions and she didn't change her mind only to be falsely beloved by other people...
