Cake – Italian Leather Sofa Lyrics 13 years ago
Pretty sure it's a reference to the "no man is an island" line from the famous John Donne piece in Meditation XVII. That line is sort of a famous piece of philosophy. So in other words she doesn't care about him as a person, or his feelings or whatever, she just cares about his money.

M83 – Echoes of Mine Lyrics 13 years ago
Well it's about growing up, isn't it? Realising that all the perceived drama and trials of the teenage years were just a part of life that made you who your are today, and embracing it.

In Graveyard Girl on the earlier album we had the melodramatic teenager:
"I'm fifteen years old
And I feel it's already too late to love."

And now we're coming out of the teenage years and learning to love again:
"j'ai 20 ans
Et j'aime comme je n'ai jamais aimé."
