Passion Pit – Sleepyhead Lyrics 13 years ago
This isn't an interpretation, just something that happened to me. The first time I heard the song, I just stopped. I almost started crying. And the lyrics hadn't even started. There's something that just connects with me in this song. It's crazy.

Regina Spektor – All the Rowboats Lyrics 13 years ago
I think one part of this song has to do with how people view paintings as their artist these days. Some people think if the painting belongs to a familiar name, it deserves attention. Therefore, the paintings become their artist's names.

"All the galleries, the museums
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
They're just public mausoleums
The living dead fill every room"

Also, I think part of it is about how artists meant for their work to be experienced, not just viewed. Not necessarily touched, but they meant for their srt to touch people, not just to be things for people to look at.

"When no one's looking I touch a sculpture
marble, cold, and soft as satin"

just a few thoughts.
