Life for rent – Dido:

This song talks about a person who is afraid to get involved in a serious relationship because of the pain suffered if the relationship fails.

The person says that she always loved freedom and traveling and never thought about things like settle down but she is really puzzle because she now feels strange. I think she now feels the need to stay with that person she knew.

She is concerned because she feels like she never will fall in love and she says that the reason of that is that in her early years she never had a home enough time to get used to it and settle and make friends and everything else, but maybe she is afraid to get in love with all that it involves.

Evidently she feels like she will be ok if she keeps her heart shielded against every intruder but she regrets of it because she thinks that she is not really living her life and she is wasting it.

Good bye Alice in Wonderland – Jewel

Jewel’s song is about a girl who grew up in show business living a life with all the inconvenience found in show business, like living in hotel rooms because of the tours, being completely alone and living a fantasy where everything is far from realm.

While she was living this fantasy life apparently she fell in love with someone who betrayed her and then she started to understand that she was trying to find in him something she never had before and he didn’t gave her, real love.

Before that she started thinking that this kind of life wasn’t what she expected and she felt so disappointed. Because of this she decided to leave show business and start to live a real life without all the fake things she was living before.

I think this is a very well written song that makes us think about the things we have done in our life and if it is what we wanted to be. Also tells us that it is never too late for a change.
