Two Tongues – Try Not To Save Me Lyrics 16 years ago
I agree that this about an ending relationship, however, I feel like "try not to save me" means that the person taking the active action to leave is intending to be noble and stop hurting the person they are leaving. "Try not to save me" indicates the other person's flaws. Other lines indicating that the person leaving is the person who really needs the help are "And when I wonder what you're thinking when you stare into space", "You're always watching me to see if your head should hang down", and "I'm not the one." The narrator of the story knows that their partner needs them to help them and this is an attempt to make their partner realize that.

Illinois – Headphones Lyrics 17 years ago
i think this song relates to another he wrote, What Can I Do For You. about his girlfriend cheating on him and feeling that breaking up is the best option. but he still obviously misses her, so he uses music as a distraction.

Lovedrug – Blood Like Lyrics 17 years ago
i feel like the term blood like associates with being human, and the ideals that society of perfection that aren't achievable.
it seems to me that he is embracing his mistakes, enjoying the ability to revel in something that he knows is wrong because it is a very human feeling.
the people that learn to swim are the people that learn to accept this, and the people that drown are those who chase perfection forever and thus live unhappily.

as for the "one eye eyeing my old life" part, i think that is his realization and acceptance that humanity can't be perfect. he is looking back on his previous life, where he was just as unhappy as the rest of society trying to be a robot.
