To me it's about trying for something you really wanted and failing miserably and dealing with that failure...

The Presets – Girl and the Sea Lyrics 17 years ago

Oh and this verse describes how this process as destroyed her life in some ways:

{And all the
places shes been along the way
flames are licken at their walls
night glows with their remains}

The Presets – Girl and the Sea Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe this song is about a couple that can't be together, she runs away from him because there is something wrong with him, he is held back from being in a good relationship with her for whatever reason, could be he does drugs, hes an alcoholic or a criminal (ie he is tackled by police). So she runs from him and into the sea trying to forget him and everything he stands for (i.e. they are no where in her thoughts).

But a piece of him will always be with her and never leave her and she'll never truly be free of him.
(the parcel that he throws across the bridge into the creek, it'll flow towards the sea, it will meet with her tommorow)

She doesnt know why things had to turn out this way, and she dreams of what it could of been like had it been different.
(From far away the animals come gather round to see, but she knows not how they feel, and she knows not what it means,When she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be, and she'd close her eyes and dream...)

The last verse sums up the whole song completely. Had he not been held back and chosen to live a bad life, it could of been a really good thing, but he chose not to change, so it will never be..

(A place
I've found
could be
all ours
but I've seen
where you
would rather be. )

Kings of Convenience – Parallel Lines Lyrics 17 years ago
I know this song so well...

It's about a couple that could never come together for the other person wouldn't let it happen: "That one percieves as hunger
And the other as food "
"Innocent imitation of how it would be
If one the music entered, you did not retreat"

And all he has left is an imagined existence with this person hence the "cartoon garden" he could never know and his fantasy of the person 'cast in gold', this is how he wished this person to be instead of what they were.

parallel line is a metaphor of how these two peoples lives will never be one... and will never come together... ever.
