Cover art for Sarah lyrics by Bat for Lashes

at first i thought it's about some girl who became indifferent [They cut out her heart], stopped believing in God [she decided He never came at all] and the latter decision sort of took the prespective of afterlife away from her.

but i don't understand why does Natasha want to be like her.. how can she adopt Sarah's heart if it's not there? maybe cutting it out isn't a symbol here - stupid idea but maybe Natasha is to take care of it in some way.. or has had it transplanted.. erm :]

'She gave me her clothes and told me take her place' not only does the narrator want to be like Sarah but Sarah herself orders her to - maybe because she knows she's going away (dying?).

and the latest idea - maybe Sarah herself i just a symbol of some attitude. picking it up seems cool for Natasha so she creates a real person whose life would sort of explain that attitude.

hm, still, confusing.
