This has been my favorite song since I was 13, when my niece was born this was the lullaby I would sing to her.
Now, 9 years later, my life's come full circle to this song. I find myself heels over head for this cynical, angry artist boy truly does wish to see me delicate and weak, so little purpose; hates when I stand my ground and fight back.
So, one interpretation, the one I've always identified with, is that she is being extremely literal throughout this song and is actually involved with an artist.
My other potential interpretation has been that perhaps she's both characters in this song at the same time. She has her hope and optimism and finds the world beautiful, but there's another side to her that is trying to overtake the happier one- a more cynical one who puts down her optimistic tendencies.
She's the artist, and the hardest to deal with because of the dual nature fighting within herself.
I'm prone to believe that it is about some artist boy she's emotionally invested in and exasperated with, it's also just interesting to toss around some other possible meanings in my head.
This song is gold.
