Yes, I agree. Not mostly about broken dreams, but broken promises. This whole album is deeply connected to religion. There are three personas here, as there are three voices; Tricky sings as if he were Jesus himself, blaming on everyone for he has failed. Then, Terry is one of his followers, who feels abandoned and dismissed. Martina might be Mary, or Mary Magdalene.
But I believe God was the one who promised poems, not Jesus. And God failed on everyone of them. Three voices, three Graces, triad, threesome, tribal, treasure.
