Bon Iver – Blindsided Lyrics 16 years ago
So I totally agree that this is about finding out you're being cheated on. To me the line that says it all is

"For the agony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I am blindsided"

having been cheated on I feel like this refers to that time when you think something's up and you think "I would rather just know now than find out later." You think you're ready to know and that it won't hurt 'cause you see it coming kind of but then when you get the confirmation and there's no more doubts it still hits you like a bullet and you don't see it coming. No matter how prepared you think you are to find out you've been betrayed you never really are...

That's what that line says to me.

Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics 17 years ago
one thing I love of this song, as well as most Beirut songs, is that no matter what's most relevant in your life at the time you're listening to it, it fits in and makes sense.

I'm not sure either, but I saw them play yesterday in L.A. and they opened with this song. It was truly a magical moment. I love Zach's voice and this song gives me goosebumps.
