Ben Howard – Esmerelda Lyrics 11 years ago
Okay *cracks knuckles* let's get this done:
'Oh Blinding, now I see
I could not hold you
My orange tree lived in the darkened room
From three words to share'
I think this verse is about how much he is in love with this person, where he is blinded by love and his orange tree, his open-mindedness, was in a dark room where it could not grow

'Maybe you were free before
My blackened wing covered you
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed where you don't belong'
This talks about how he took everything from her, either figuratively or literally, and
made said person depressed

'Oh poor me
she fell beneath the wheels
to help me up
Black sea
I failed to be the light you found and loved
Oh poor me
she fell beneath the wheels
To help me up
black sea
the monster killed the melody you loved'

This part he really messed up. This girl does so much for her, even makes sacrifices for him, and figuratively 'kills' everything she loved.

'Now I'm going places on my own

Blinded, now I see that death
moves amongst us
And with such ease
Arrived to surround us
These silent beast
are hard to bear'

First part: obvious. They broke up.
Next part is kind of hard:
I think then they both realize that the relationship is not going to work out, and even some violent stuff happens

'Lonely
oh no not me
I have a grave to dig
fast moving feet'

This verse is even harder. Maybe he doesn't want to be alone, and the grave to dig is where he marries someone and 'dies' in the field of dating.

'You gave me light
Where it once was gone
I made a bed where you don't belong'

This just sums it up. The girl gave her so much, and he just made her regret making those sacrifices. Beautiful song.

Emeli Sandé – Wonder Lyrics 11 years ago
This song is about how we are all full of beauty, every single human being. We all have different stories, experiences, beliefs, which is a beautiful thing that people should recognize more. If you want beauty, go out and talk to people.

Am I the only one who heard 'we girls ca-licked like old friends'?

Florence + the Machine – No Light, No Light Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this song is way deeper than talking to a bf. I agree with some people in this comments section that it's about good vs. bad, and this is reaffirmed in the music video.

Florence + the Machine – Breaking Down Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this is about the death of a loved one, and how there always besides you even after they're dead, but then you realize that they're gone and then it hits you and you start "Breaking Down" again.

Florence + the Machine – All This and Heaven Too Lyrics 11 years ago
This song is definetly about how complicated love is and how confusing it can be. Even though love is supposed to keep us happy, it usually just leaves us empty. This song is quite relatable

Sorry but these may seem deep, but knowing this group they're meaningless.

Ben Howard – Only Love Lyrics 11 years ago
Am I really going to be the first one to comment on this one? Okay. I'm horrible at symbolism, but here goes:
The person he loves will always protect him and he is helplessly in love, hence the
'watch me fall apart' part. I think that basically sums it up...

Lorde – Ribs Lyrics 11 years ago
I believe this song is about growing apart with your friends and growing up and finding new ones. For me, this is very relatable in the fact that I've lost some friends in the past year, and created new ones as well.

CHVRCHES – Tether Lyrics 11 years ago
I think this is about a dying relationship and/or a person dying and almost done handling grief.
