Katy Perry – This Is How We Do Lyrics 11 years ago
The second verse is meant to be
"Santa Barbara chique, at la super rica,
grabbing tacos, checking out hotties
Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did, all Japanese-y
Day drinking at the Wildcat, sucking real bad at Mariah karaoke"
.. in ode to Santa Barbara where she grew up and went to school.

Local Natives – Cubism Dream Lyrics 15 years ago
I saw these guys live the other night.. Kelcey said this was about his ex-gf moving to Sydney and that the song was bascially the story of how things went after she left, subsequently breaking them up.

It is definitely about trying to make a long-distance relationship work. I have been there myself and its not easy at all. I can relate to it so much. Distance does put a toll on you, and you have to keep the visits frequent otherwise the relationship will deteriorate.

What I can see happened here in the start of the song, is that both parties thought they'd be okay by video chatting. I think then Kelcey started to realise this wasn't enough and he needed her physically(happened to me). They then agreed to see other people in their own "towns"(happened to me too). They obviously kept each other honest, because he says when he told her he made new friends, she would get jealous(me, again). They then started to feel differently towards each other.

Anyway.. in the last verse.. I feel like he came to australia to visit her. However it seems like he flew over to tell her personally that they couldn't continue to keep the friendship going because it was too much for him. I don't think he proposed as someone else mentioned. They broke up. Probably for the best. The only way a LD relationship will work is if they visit frequently, and usually one party makes a permanent move to be with the other. Some people aren't cut out for it. I know I wasn't.

Florence + the Machine – Heavy in Your Arms Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this is the song which some people can relate to.. I know I can.

Two people in a relationship, one has excessive emotional baggage. This person know it, and they know that they're burdening their partner.

Brooke Fraser – Scarlet Lyrics 16 years ago
Okay I've been listening to this song intently for the last 12 hours, not even kidding. It means a lot to me. And this is just what it means to me; I believe it's about God's love and being born again through Christ.

Middle of nowhere, finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name, it's easier
(its just you and God now, the air has become clear, fresh start)
..
Cautiously, lightly, gently expose whats underneath
(this is the act of letting God into your heart, and letting him work inside of you to discover yourself)

And all you feel now is the scarlet in the day
(Jesus' blood washing over your sins and purifying everything)
Even if it's real, you can't stay
(having to let go of the past and all the wrongs)

so there you go, you're gone for good
(saying goodbye to your old life and)


yeah.. this is purely my interpretation. it will mean different things to everyone. :)
