For some time, I've had the feeling that Jon wanted to come across intellectual in his songwriting by putting contradicting lines/metaphors next to each other, even though that didn't really work (I remember thinking that either somewhere on the Circle or on WAN).

I'd say it started with Crush. The trend he had of writing about a woman no one can explain especially (She's a Mystery, Mystery Train, Wildflower) but I think you're right. Regardless of who wrote that specific line of Complicated the entire thing is a stinker to me. Cliche lyrics and an over used chord structure.
