emotional concept range according to the meanspeed music conjecture=clarity

emotional expression as I hear in this song=clarity and comfort after learning the ropes.  Here, specifically, as those of you who have never been married and date or marry a separated or divorced woman know: the reality that since they have already been married, they start a step up.  Dylan lets out a story of how you can feel hung out to dry and get more miserable than you ever thought.  At the end of the ordeal, though, you realize that you have been through the boot camp of love.  You get the comfort an clarity that you would have never felt without the pain.

“…She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force…”

WIKIPEDIA
“‘Tangled Up in Blue’ is one of the most clear examples of Dylan’s attempts to write ‘multi-dimensional’ songs which defied a fixed notion of time and space.”
