Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Well, the famous one is Every Breath You Take by The Police, which is actually a "Big Brother" type story song, or so Sting says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2003 I Will off the new Radiohead album is about the US army hitting a bunker full of civillians in the Gulf War. Every Breath You Take is about stalking isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted June 24, 2003 I always thought so, but on VH1, Sting said it was based off of 1984. Of course, he could be full of shit, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted June 25, 2003 Fiona Apple's "Sullen Girl" is about her rape when she was younger. *shrugs* For awhile I thought it was just a depressing heartbroken song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted June 25, 2003 I always thought the Limp Bizkit song Rollin was about weed... just judging by the lyrics, but nobody seems to agree with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted June 25, 2003 john doesn't say anything in "a day in the life" at the end about dying. it's taken from an article he read about there being too many potholes in a road. in the first verse he sings about another article he read, about a kid who died in a car crash, then about his part in the richard lester movie 'how i won the war'. there's really no hidden meaning in the song; it was just, in the words of paul, "a little poetic jumble that sounded nice." now "lucy in the sky with diamonds"...i don't give a shit about how much lennon denied it, that song was about doing acid. it's plain as day. "me and a gun" by tori amos is about rape. although...it's not hard to figure that out when you hear the song. "i'm waiting for the man" by the velvet underground is about looking for a drug dealer. that's all i can think of now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Report post Posted June 25, 2003 I'm Waiting For The Man isn't really a hidden meaning, though. It's not like there's much else that song could be about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted June 25, 2003 Dying Fetus's "Kill your mother, rape your dog" is about the way musical artists of any and all genres that don't conform to a certain sound and way of making music get shut out of radio play and exposure.

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted June 25, 2003 Bathory is also a fine black metal band. I myself did an album once about Eminem being a robot.

Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted June 25, 2003 People think "God Called in Sick Today" by AFI is about the lead singer (Davey) coming out of the closet. I don't know where they get that from though. "Kickstart my Heart" by Motley Crue is about Nikki Sixx's 'resurrection' after his Heroin overdose via an adrenaline hot.

Guest Ripper Report post Posted June 25, 2003 Just the other day, this guy on the bus was talking about how biggie did "Me and My Bitch" as a rip off of Tupacs "Me and my girlfriend" because he just wanted to do a song about a thug girl too. When I pointed out to him that Me and My Girlfriend was about guns, he just looked at me blankly. So aparently, there are people still out there that had no idea what that song was about.
