First Aid Kit is a Swedish band with some really great lyrics. One song that's intrigued me with it's ambiguity is Emmylou, which contains the line:
Stockholm's cold but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
Is she predisposed to be okay with cold climates, or was she born so that her parents could handle the cold?
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Romantic love or parental love? Is she saying the last line, or is it her parents talking to her? Wonderful stuff.
