I can't really know what the artist intends anyway. Even if he/she has said so in an interview and I read it, I still can't know if he/she is lying or managing to fully express the real, deeply felt intent behind the work of art in question.
So however it comes off to me, that's how I judge it.
Which means I think that mamba line in We Built This City is really dumb, regardless of whatever the songwriter had or didn't have in mind
