Yeah, she`s really smart. Smart, beautiful and talented.
I had some problems with meaning of few words, like "antediluvian", "rabble-rouser" and other that are not unknown per se but its just hard to get them in particular context cause English is not my native language.
So my idea is that this song is about religion as a form of escapism. This "antediluvian" means time before great floods in bible, so traveling back in this biblical picture made form yarn and glue could be viewed as critique of refusing to admit that we all will die. Here is the line:
"Do we die or do we travel...../in the arts of antediluvian crafts/ with yarn and glue"
Considering that Joanna likes nature and all that natural stuff it may give a reason to think that she does not like institutional religion.
And all the other stuff i think is about hypocrisy, if i got the right meaning of word "toast". As i understood "toast" here means "to praise". If that how it is, than it seems that she is singing about that people are trying to look good on the surface but in reality they are corrupt because they are not exploring their authentic self but instead they are traveling in the antediluvian crafts made by artisans, that could be understood as priests and other adepts of institutional religion.
