Omg. I think im retarded or something. I have listened to White Houses by Vanessa Carlton but it is only today that i found out the true meaning of the song?

I was at imeem listening to the song when i read the comment saying that its about losing virginity??? Then i searched for the lyrics and i found where the song hinted the meaning:

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Like omg? I thought the "My first time" means her first true love and the "Rush of blood" is the factor that makes her dizzy in love?

Went to search for the meaning and here it is:

The song is about a summer intensity program, like a summer camp-type thing that hardcore ballerinas do in preparation to begin to dance professionally, as she was on track to do. They are usually held on a campus, in nicer, sorority-type dorms (the White Houses). She's talking about her new ballerina buddies she met, that's why she's "too thin". They have fun and party and meet boys, but are also highly competitive with each other- (Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her). Since most of these girls spend hours a day dancing, they don't attend regular school, and spend a lot of time with older boys, so hence, her first sexual encounter. This is all courtesy of my roommate, btw, once a ballerina, who instantly knew what the song was about, and explained it to me.

Omfg right? I've read the lyrics a thousand and one time but never once did i think that it was about *ahem. How deceiving can the lyrics be? It looks so innocent and everything lor!

But the song it still nice la..

The fridge is a clear example that what matters is what's inside.
