Raw Sugar Lyrics

My take on the song is that she has lost something she feels she cannot get back, but she wants to be back there, in a different time, a different space.

I also feel like she is saying she does not want to live the "corporate life" (lord, that spelling is atrocious), a life that is entrapping her. It is dark, dingy, unchanging in this world. She wants more.
