Interpretation

A quick note before the interpretations: **"Map Ref. 41°N 93°W" is not a My Bloody Valentine song** — it's a Wire track from their 1979 album *154*. My Bloody Valentine has no song by that title. Could you double-check #5? I can either interpret the Wire track as-is, or you can swap in the correct MBV song. Below are interpretations for the four confirmed songs:
