Ray LaMontagne – Lesson Learned Lyrics 18 years ago
I think that the second person is correct. I believe he didn't have an affair, and that she's basically persecuted him for something that he didn't do. He feels helpless and angry, and the lines that make it seem as though he DID cheat are said in jest and sarcasm.

Mew – 156 Lyrics 18 years ago
The meaning behind this song is meant to be a mystery and cryptic. It's obvious that he's portraying something very personal in a poetic and perhaps metaphorical sense. I'm not even going to bother to try to figure it out, because he doesn't want anyone to.

It's silly assume that we can take any song and simplify it or relate it to our own lives.

Mew – White Lips Kissed Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is about a struggling relationship.

"Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go
Always"

Both are always feeling distant and preparing themselves for the relationship to end - like one foot out the door.

"You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall"

The girl can't make herself vulnerable and give to the relationship. She expects the worst so that she's never disappointed.

"Soon as I let go
Everything falls apart"

Again, he is feeling relied upon to hold up the relationship.
