Mew – Symmetry Lyrics 18 years ago
Bell of the ball -
queen of the ball, prettiest girl at the dance

"Caught in the symmetry of your mind" - might mean that the writer feels like he's been forgotten by that person, regarded as history by him.
seems like he/she has moved on after their relationship has ended, but the writer finds putting it all in the past too hard and can't yet put what they had in the past.

The writer gave that person many chances - "the benefits of all the doubts" and became benign because he always gave her another chance, though getting hurt. He just couln't let it go, understanding that their relationship is bad and harmful for him, and that person would just keep on hurting him.
But, ironically, although all the damage and pain that girl caused him - she would always be the most beautiful girl there is, for him.

Mew – Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years Lyrics 18 years ago
For me it simply means a girl that has been through and seen too much for her age, and therefore grew mentally older than what is normal for her age.

Mew – Chinaberry Tree Lyrics 18 years ago
A chinaberry tree is a beautiful tree which provides poisonous fruits which are deadly and may cause death to humans.

Beautiful, but deadly
That's how the girl which this song is about is described.
He couldn't see the chinaberry tree - He couldn't see that though that girl was beautiful to him, she was poisonous inside

I think that he is bringing back some old, painful memories of the first time he fell in love, and how he was rejected and turned down and how innocent he was.
He took it pretty hard - he's whole being was falling apart and needed his friends to hold him, so he's soul won't get completly broken.

Mew – She Spider Lyrics 19 years ago
Everyone understands songs in his own way.
Anyway, I feel this song talks about love, a some sort of unfinished love-story from the past.
maybe a one-sided, secret love which was never expressed and therefore kept deep inside.
And the song speaks of how that person moved on,trying to live a nice life,probably marrying another woman,have a family etc. leaving it in the past. not fully confronting with it.
He saved himself for her sweet caress, and when something went wrong- she rejectged him or he couldn't expose his true feelings to her, he gave up on being with her and began searching for happiness, to ease the pain and try to forget what happend.
so those old deep feelings still live inside of him, hurting him like a spider residing in his mind, or soul.
And when people go to sleep, they're sun rise - a metaphor for how our true souls and minds reveal to us in our dreams, and so though he wishes to forget this feelings, this spider, they are revealed to him when he sleeps, and he can't trully escape nor forget them. he, though wishes not to, finds they still exist, the spider in him lives within.
And like himself, no one is safe from that kind of complications of love.

Mew – Special Lyrics 19 years ago
A long shot,but...
Agarina = Acarina = order of mites and ticks
It means a group of parasites

Maybe the person in the song refers his lover, his feelings for her or the way she makes him feel as a parasite, that hurts him
and though he can't say no to her, he wishes she would go away,disappear this time,leave him
