Curious song that hinges on one word: insolent. It's hard to understand what anything means after that. The idea of insolence creates images of two people, one older and more "traditional" than the other, one a younger person with "spirit". But there seems to be no definition between the two people, and the exact point of contention is unclear, so I think she's talking to an earlier version of herself, a memory that won't leave her alone perhaps. She is both the insolent one and the condescending, in conflict with herself.
