CocoRosie – Bisounours Lyrics 14 years ago
The flower could refer to virginity? We all know what "deflowering" means, so maybe it has something to do with that.

(I only mentioned that because it says, "And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the innocence." Losing one's virginity has a lot to do with a loss of innocence.)

Kate Nash – Mariella Lyrics 14 years ago
I don't get why no one's mentioned this.
Mariella's simply an introvert!

She's content in being alone.
"If I wanna play, I can play with me, If I wanna think, I'll think in my head."

Because she's so quiet, she's observant and smarter than the others.
"But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road because she knew all the secrets in her world.
yeah, she always got the crossword puzzle right every day and she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes."

Mariella is just an introverted girl, content in being different and alone. Not antisocial. And I don't think this song portrays her in a negative way either ("And sometimes, sometimes, I wish I was like Mariella").

People seem to think that people who enjoy solitude are antisocial or autistic. :/

I'm an introvert- so, I know what it's like to WANT to be alone rather often and struggling with this in a primarily extroverted world.
