Two Door Cinema Club – I Can Talk Lyrics 14 years ago
To me this song really just sounds like someone who's been in therapy for a while.

You won't believe what I tell you,
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it

I think this is talking about therapists/psychiatrists, how they'll pick out certain things from what you say. You get a lot from this could be referring to pay (they make a lot!) or an ego-boost (fixing people means that you have your own life under control).

A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before

When you go through therapy, it's like talking about the same thing over and over again just using different words. He's saying nothing has changed from before.

It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you

Saying things that mean a lot to you and having the doctor try to break down and analyze it. There are common emotions and thoughts among all people.

I get the whole "institutionalized" thing, but generally I think songs often mean a lot less than people think. Usually they're just phrases that sound cool quickly jotted down. Not always, but sometimes.

Yo La Tengo – Autumn Sweater Lyrics 15 years ago
This song to me kinda feels like a guy on his wedding day with cold feet. All the lyrics pretty much make sense in that scenario, but I can totally see these other ones too, ending a relationship and whatnot.
