Could this song be about getting into relationships that are definitely heading right to the doom from the beginning? |

It sounds to me like it's about a one night stand. Having the feeling that you really liked the girl and hoped for something more, but knowing that by the morning she wouldn't hold your hand or have any love for you in return. |

| Phoenix – Love Like a Sunset (Part 2) Lyrics

My interpretation of it is that a sunset is something that is beautiful. But when you see one starting you know it means it's ending soon.
So, perhaps, this is about having strong feelings for someone, knowing that it'll never work out but going for it anyway. I'm sure many people have been in the situation where they have this immediate strong connection with someone but it burns out as quickly as it lit up and they foresaw exactly where it was going before it even began. |

| The Veils – Talk Down the Girl Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
My interpretation of this song was that Finn is talking about a love - that was once strong - has turned cold. A love so cold it's on the brink of suicide (eleven storeys up, about to fall from the second floor). So he's trying to 'talk down the girl' from the edge (love talks down the girl) trying not to let it all get the better of him and have her pass him by.
Unfortunately, his talking down the girl hasn't worked, as apparent from the second stanza. He's gone into a colourless depression and wants to burn all the past, in turn, burning up what he thought was himself. (Perhaps it was a silly mistake that started this all? Maybe she cheated on him, so he's doing what he thinks is right as the love isn't strong enough?)
By the third stanza the couple's actions have all reaped their repercussions. There's no place in his life for her now that she's done whatever it is she's done. There'd be no way to get her back if he tried, now, anyway. He can't help but miss her. |
