Here's another one, not such a weird lyrics this time. Would you say it was ambiguous or detailed? I think it gives a pretty clear indication of what its about. That might, however, just be because I wrote it from an image in my head which gives me a reference point from which to listen/read.

There are a few lines in it that I'm still not at all happy with, can you guess which ones they are?

SHADOW FIGHTING

Just a glance can send me reeling
Keep your distance, hide your feelings
Guilty words and simple lies told
Its all just the same old, same old

We've been tiptoeing over mines
Maybe we should cross the line
And get drunk on cheap red wine
To make this easy

Looking in your eyes I pretend
That we will just be friends
As gravity draws you to me
I’m fighting with my shadow again

Is this some kind of cynical game?
Twisting friendship and lust around in my reference frame?

The way you smile at me
Like you could be on heat
Makes me think that we
Could take things further

Looking in your eyes I pretend
That we will just be friends
The dishonesty, surely you can see
I’m fighting with my shadow again
