Rufus Wainwright – The Consort Lyrics 14 years ago
Actually, Rufus is older than his sister, so your point is still valid. I came up with a very similar interpretation, though simpler.

Lovage – Anger Management Lyrics 14 years ago
I have two theories:
Either it is a retrospective vision on a failed but sexually charged relationship (the guy goes through old memories of lust and an abrupt ending to it all)
or it's about cheating.

Lou Reed – Perfect Day Lyrics 14 years ago
Do you really think that the man who wrote Heroin would go hiding later, behind a personification?
Give some more thougts to it.
This song is about a person. It's about feeling accepted and loved and without any worries in the span of a day, by the mere fact of being with another person that is special to you. This person helps him to forget all his self-loathing:

"You just keep me hanging on"

But Lou knows he has too many flaws and that this is just an oasis, meant to disappear in the desert that is his existence:

"You're going to reap just what you sow "

Jeff Buckley – Witches' Rave Lyrics 16 years ago
It seems to me that this song is about cheating on someone. It is written from the lover's point of view so he feels guilty and yet compelled by lust. It says something about the girl's boyfriend:
'you'd like to see him suffer for you fantasy and thrill.
he fell sick while we made love, he's out there, somewhere, still.'
'he's watching from a window up above i see he loves you'
It's all about the addictive mixture of guilt, lust and thrills.

Jeff Buckley – Lilac Wine Lyrics 16 years ago
alcoholism
and that's the end of it

but what a sheer portrait! not a moral, flat or demonizing one, but one spawned from personal experience. The emotions, the self-destruction, they're all palpable. The sweet poison of drinking that turns less and less bitter and more and more pleasent with each time the mouth is filled; and not because of the wine itself but of the inner struggles of our soul that seem to have a mouth of their own, with it's own unquenchable thrist.
It makes me think of the way Lou Reed described heroin use in 'Heroin'.

Syd Barrett – Late Night Lyrics 16 years ago
i love the verse that says:
'
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me...
'
kinda describes barrett's situation as an lsd casualty recluse.
