I agree that Celia is likely St. Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. Here, she serves as the song writer's muse. Making love to your muse would mean that Simon is being inspired to write songs. The "someone else" who has taken his place could be another musician who is having success while Simon is having writer's block. Jubilation comes when he is again inspired to write more music. I did not know that Simon had a dog named Cecilia, but I would suggest that he chose that name because of Saint Cecilia's role as the patron saint of musicians. Maybe he hoped that, by naming his dog Cecilia, she could serve as a muse for his songwriting!

Pocahontas laments the sacrifice one must make to live steady and safe as her father, Powhatan, would have her do. That conventional life does not allow for pursuing one's dreams and exploring new territories and different ways of living. The handsome sturdy walls represent a kind of trap that would keep Pocahontas from discovering what possibilities lie in choosing a different kind of life from the one her father and her tribe expect.
