Not dark but I didn't realize for years that "The Fireman" was about a cocksman that has a well earned reputation for slinging deek to horny women that need it.

Also, "Little Rock" by Reba has nothing to do with Arkansas. It's about a woman who is bored with her successful rich husband who works too much, and she needs some deek.

Who knew?

True story - I know a girl who's mom wouldnt let her listen to PJ (a band named after semen).

I am the walrus

World I know by collective soul. Always had such a happy feel goods chorus.

Reading it, totally seems like suicide.


Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why

Are we listening
Hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, don't know why

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know

Take Me To Church

I sang along to that song for weeks when it came out without listening to the lyrics.

I'm no prude, but I can't listen to it anymore. It sounds like it was written by satan.

I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Yikes

About shooting up cocaine and Heroin

Mc 900 foot Jesus aka Mark Griffin

The city sleeps is dark as ****.

Maybe not darker but when I was a kid I thought The Who's Squeeze Box was about a woman who played the accordion.

Goo Hoo Dolls Slide.
Thought it was just a teenage love song and then read it was about abortion.
Kinda a peppy song about abortion.




Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide
Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
It's somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married Or run away?
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(Oh, oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheets of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away

That's the perfect example. I see TexAgs posters reference that a lot when they clearly have no idea (or don't care) what the song was about at all.

just read some background on this song. I used to think it was a NiN season by and now I know why.
