I'm not sure if it's good or bad but it certainly didn't make sense to me or the 3 Japanese friends I asked. It's like so overly poetic that only people who are well versed in certain things can understand it and that is actually kind of snobby. Snobby isn't necessarily a bad thing though...
The song "as you like" is about changing behavior to fit opponents like polishing her nails.
