Stars – Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics 13 years ago
dialogue in the beginning of this song: "When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire"
Setting yourself on fire = freedom.
lyrics at the end "I'm not sorry, there's nothing to save."

There is nothing left (to burn); You must set yourself on fire.

Free yourself from the past.

Stars – Time Can Never Kill the True Heart Lyrics 14 years ago
First of all, the harmony is beautiful and well blended with the violins and voices!

This song is about two people in a relationship, one of which is more dedicated, involved, devoted, than the other ("You won't say 'love' but I might"). Ironically after they make love, it's done for the unsure one.

"One heart out of two" can either be taken extremely romantically, or not at all. Ex- two hearts coming together to form one in a pure wholistic loving relationship.
OR only one out of the two hearts is "in" the relationship.

Arcade Fire – Intervention Lyrics 16 years ago
*you take what they give you*
and you keep it inside
every spark of friendship and love
will die without a home

i think this part of the song is a life lesson about loving others. you take love from others, but when its not both freely given/received, "every spark of friendship and love will die.."

Rilo Kiley – Small Figures in a Vast Expanse Lyrics 17 years ago
"Let's try a new change
Then we'll go on back to the old one
...
But in the end
If it was all pretend
Isn't that what friends are for?"

maybe its talking about two people who are friends, and want to maybe try a relationship, and if it fails, then they can just go back to being friends.."what friends are for"
