Shearwater – Mountain Laurel Lyrics 17 years ago
I also think it's about death in a way:

"When the cataract falls from the darkening air, and the bones of the earth have all been laid bare, then heaven is right there."

"We will stand in the waves while the colors all run, and our minds fill with light until we start to go numb.

And then we'll let it come."

Couldn't it be that he is thinking of his one and only love, which he lost somewhere along the road, at old age, when he's about to die soon?

I think he's singing something like "no not enough roof as it may rain, besides she left her cloak just yesterday" Could be terribly wrong of course, someone?

Mew – The Zookeeper's Boy Lyrics 17 years ago
Who says he is still looking for a girl in the city? Perhaps he already found her. He's uncertain, and wants to know if this girl really loves him too, and if she adores him as much as he adores her. For all I know, this is about an uncertain boy having met a somewhat mysterious girl he totally fell in love with...
And the "In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings" part is definitely about sex (or maybe it's just me associating everything with sex).

Shouldn't it be "and I miss you, not in a slant way" instead of "in a silent way"?
