Well said

Suzanne Vega's "Luka" never uses the words parent, child, or abuse, and it is unequivocally about a set of parents abusing their child.

Repent, your notion of how songwriting works is inherently flawed in insinuating that a song cannot be about something if that word is not literally in it.

Alanis Morissettes famous "You Oughta Know" is about an ex-boyfriend. It never, in the lyrics, says ex-boyfriend -- but any non-deaf nitwit could figure that out.

Need I continue?
