Rilo Kiley – A Better Son/Daughter Lyrics 12 years ago
The song is about depression and the pressure to appear happy and supportive to those around you who leech off your support (such as the mother), the idea that you can't have any problems yourself because you have to be there for everyone else.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics 15 years ago
The song is about the lead singer, Karen O, going on tour and the insecurities she had with her then boyfriend Angus Andrew from Liars.

"Maps" refers to her fans in the different places around the world that they are going, and the whole "they don't love you like love you" means that them adoring her isn't like the love from her boyfriend.

The interesting bit is that all this, the chorus, is what she wants her boyfriend to SAY TO HER as she is leaving him. She wants her boyfriend to basically beg her not to go on tour, or to come back from tour, to tell her that he loves her more than her fans ever could, more than her adoring public, more than the crowds at every gig (the "Maps", the places they are visiting).

While on tour she missed her boyfriend terribly and this song is about he insecurity that he wasn't missing her as much as she was missing him.
