Passenger – Crows in Snow Lyrics 7 years ago
I don't really think that there is "one" correct interpretation of this gem of a song. All I know for sure is the impact of the verse that says "...in a world that doesn't care about themselves..." That whole verse repeating "or themselves" is extremely important to me because it talks about how important it is to the songwriter that the world does not care about themselves along with everyone else. It is an interesting view on how most people put the world in a selfish light in their songs. Passenger instead focuses on how people don't care about themselves, a complete contradiction to most writers. It's really beautiful and allows the listener to reflect on themselves and the things that they do that can be perceived as "not caring about themselves." Beautiful.

Passenger – Travelling Alone Lyrics 7 years ago
I think this song is rather self explanatory, it is two separate stories of lovers who have experienced hardships that broke up their relationships.

The most interesting lyric in the song is in the chorus, the line "I'm loving a shadow". That line seems to hold deeper meaning in comparison to the rest of the literal song. It is a metaphor for loving someone you can't be with. Simply put, a shadow is something that follows you but you can't hold or keep. "Loving a shadow" is loving the memory or the thought of someone.

Fall Out Boy – Golden Lyrics 8 years ago
I think it is about growing up being LGBT. The chorus definitely brings that up when they say "lovers with no time for me" and "mothers raised their children to stay away from me"

Birdy – No Angel Lyrics 8 years ago
This is a truly beautiful song that I think is very relatable. I believe the song to be about a relationship that is on the verge of breaking.

'Remember once the things you told me
And how the tears ran from my eyes
They didn't fall because it hurt me
I just hate to see you cry
Sometimes I wish we could be strangers
So I didn't have to know your pain
But if I kept myself from danger
This emptiness would feel the same"

This first verse is talking about how he had told her about his issues with their relationship, and she was upset to see him hurting. She wishes sometimes that they had never met, but then she would feel a different kind of loneliness, not the one caused by their distance in the relationship, but one caused by the lack of being with him.

"I ain't no angel, I never was
But I never hurt you, it's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, thrown out across the ground"

In the chorus she is admitting that she never made their relationship easy, but she is not who he should be blaming for their brokenness. The eggshells represent how fragile they are and how they feel like, broken into a million pieces.

"Did you ever really love her
Or was it that you feared letting go
You should have known that you could trust her
But you pretend like I don't know"

This verse talks about how because of their relationship issues, he is cheating on her and she is aware, and he is doing it to get her attention, which is the fear of letting go and not really loving "her". This girl actually loves him, but he still really loves the girl who is singing the song.

"I want to tell you that I'm sorry
But that's not for me to say
You can have my heart, my soul, my body
If you can promise not to go away"

This last part is her saying that she will not apologize when she didn't do anything, but she is still deeply in love with him and doesn't want to leave him.
