Sara Bareilles – Cassiopeia Lyrics 12 years ago
This song seems to relate a love story to the supernova found within the Cassiopeia constellation. I've tried for the last 24 hours and I just can't piece the two together yet, but looking at the lyrics, I think I've deduced it to be something to this effect:

Cassiopeia, the subject of the song, can't differentiate well between lust and love, and often mistakes the former for the latter. She encounters disappointment with the physical, "hit-and-run" encounter with a gentleman star, and has to cope with it until "the one" comes along.

Talking it over with my significant other, we eventually decided that the song may be about a failed relationship, and then one that works. More particularly, the chorus represents sex. Not just run-of-the-mill sex, but the super-passionate kind, the kind where you want to rip each other's clothes off the instant you're able to do so. Everything else represents the emotional aspect of the situation.
