I think her use of "Jerusalem" is a reference to what Jerusalem symbolizes in religion - a holy place, or "Promised Land"... A place which represents sanctuary, eternity, and life without sin. Perhaps the song is about seeking a "Jerusalem" for the mind and spirit, a place of contentment with oneself. The lyrics in the song sound to me like the thoughts of someone very discontent with themselves, very listless and almost depressed, lacking zest for life. Realizing this and wanting to get better, to find their own "Jerusalem", and become comfortable with who they are and accept their life, perhaps even learning to love life again.
