I am a sucker for lines in pop songs that mean something, and then take on new or different meaning when the next line comes in.

Examples:

The New Pornographers' "Challengers"

You say you live with someone
I live with somebody too
Leave it there ("let's not explore it any further")
For safekeeping

Mori Calliope's "Red"

Red tomorrow, red today
Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
Can't turn back
Time

reposting because i am also a sucker for this and because now i have challengers stuck in my head
