Regarding ‘Unbreakable’ & its theme, in one of my earlier threads I stated that this song probably had to do also with his problematic relationship with his record label at that time:

So, there is also a chance (even a slim one) that the lyrics from ‘Unbreakable’, being perceived in that way by his record label, perplexed even more the things when it came to the decision of its release as a single.
I know that it sounds a bit far-fetched, but personally I think this theory cannot be entirely ignored.
Generally, I think ‘Unbreakable’ lyrically refers to many, different aspects of his life (including the aforementioned relationship) as opposed to ‘Privacy’ which has to do only with the tabloid media/press.
Finally, & despite the album’s innumerable imperfections, in my opinion ‘Unbreakable’ musically is still a powerful track that opens the album in the most dynamic way.
