This song to me speaks about ridding oneself of bad habits. In many ways, it's almost reminiscent of Flavors of Entanglement and harkens back to its theme of hitting rock bottom coupled with the phoenix rising from the ashes. To me, this particular song illustrates how she still struggles with big challenges and repeats the same mistake ("I'm slipping again"...."affirm mea culpa for the millionth time"), but also her admission that while they do exist, they don't defeat her. It's a really beautiful song.
