Imagine Dragons – Demons Lyrics 11 years ago
There are a lot of ways to look at it, but overall, the singer is saying that he cares about the person but doesn't think he deserves someone as good and pure as her. He has been corrupted by society/depression/heartbreak/etc., and wants to protect her from having to go through that. He just doesn't want her to see how awful he can be on the inside.

Imagine Dragons – Radioactive Lyrics 11 years ago
The lead singer said, in an interview, that it was about when you come out of depression and you have to start over completely. You have to try not to slip back into depression, and you basically feel stronger but even more broken at the same time.

Florence + the Machine – Dog Days Are Over Lyrics 11 years ago
I think it's about overcoming depression, or great sadness anyway. I guess it could also be about overcoming a source of sadness like a person or an event that you are finally moving on from.
I recently overcame a lot of sadness and this song was perfect. Basically, it says that it's overwhelming and that you have to be really close to depression to understand it. You have to completely connect with it and it does a lot of bad things to you (first verse) but then you run away from it.
You run and run until it can't find you anymore (the horses) and in order to do that, you have to leave certain things behind. You can't focus on love and longing because if you do, the sadness can catch up to you.
