Songs with hidden messages?

[blackcherry]

I am the Walrus - The Beetles

More hidden meanings there than you can shake a poetry class at. But mostly I think it's about betraying one's art to be used by the music industry. The title refers to Lois Carrol's poem the Walrus and the Carpenter (in Alice in Wonderland). Seriously the whole song's a hidden meaning goldmine though.

On the nasty note, it also includes the lyrics:
"boy you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down"

Actually that song was created to mean absolutely nothing. Its a nonsense song, created after John Lennon got annoyed at people trying to over analyse beatles songs (the whole famous 'Lucie in the sky with diamonds' being an example).

He made the lyrics nonsensical as a big finger to critics. Have to love the guy.

If played backwards, Weird Al's Nature Trip to Hell says "Satan eats Cheese Whiz."

Interpreting Bob Dylan's songs can be difficult. "The sun isn't yellow, it's chicken."

 

[the_sock]

it has long been discussed, and many fans say not it doesn't mean what you think.

but what the heck:

the beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds.


personally i don't believe that it is supposed to advertize drugs.

'Backmask' by Mindless Self-Indulgence

Haha, you sir are awesome!

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

In DragonForces "Soldiers of the Wasteland" the singer says something along the lines of
flying on winged vaginas.


The first time I heard it I thought I was hearing things. I wasn't however.

And in In Flames song "March to the Shore" I think that they are calling soldiers killers and singing about fallen ideals.

You were. There isn't anything about winged vaginas. Sorry to piss on your bonfire.

Anyways, I know that Kanye West's song 'Homecoming' is in fact about Chicago and not a woman. Although there's some dispute about whether he says 'My name is Wendy' or 'My name is Windy', in context it makes sense for it to be windy (As in 'The Windy City')

I know that it isn't in the lyrics but the guy says it, I swear. Im not the only one who has heard it either.

No you're right there, I've seen a lot of comments saying the same.

 

[Littaly]

I could have sworn that Alice Cooper's Poison was about STDs

"One look could kill my pain your thrill"
"I wanna love you but I better not touch"
"I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous"
etc.

When I looked it up on WIkipedia it said it was about alcoholism, which I guess kind of makes sense. Still...

Oh and Cocaine is actually an anti-drug song.

 

[InvisibleMilk]

Queens of the stone age "Go with the flow" is about sex with women on their period.

Oh.


Wow. I've sang that alot in front of my parents XD

 

[Jazoni89]

speaking of nirvana if you play smells like teen sprit backwards it sounds like

I hate you!

 

[Jazoni89]

also the song Polly by Nirvana is about is rape and being in the shoes of a rapist which is quite strange at it's a very slow melodic song.

 

[garjian]

hmmm... lily allens music is usually oxymoronic...

often enough its cheery and nice, yet the lyrics are rarey the same...

Bloc party - Helicopter, abt Bush n America (so i heard)

A friend of mine was majorly disappointed when he realized Beyonce's Halo wasnt about Master Chief

i dunno... something tells me bloc partys music isnt about anything... definately nothing important >,<

Its actually based on an actual rape, dur.

 

[Clashero]

867-5309, I swear that song is about a stripper.

Killer Queen, I swear this ones about Leia Organa.

Actually, I beg to diff--- wait. You're right. It's so definitely about Leia.

This one's not really hidden, per se, but if you've reed The Silmarillion and some other Tolkien books, Nightwish's Elvenpath takes on a new meaning.

'Backmask' by Mindless Self-Indulgence

"Do your homework. Eat your vegetables.Go to church."
My favorite hidden message from my favorite band.

 

[Sevre]

Listen to Hessian Peel by Opeth backwards and it says something about being gay with Satan. Atleast I think its Hessian Peel.

 

[Ghost]

we're not gonna take it backwards contains the words 'raise your flag you fag'. obviously a coincidence but funny nonetheless

 

[cleverlymadeup]

Interpreting Bob Dylan's songs can be difficult. "The sun isn't yellow, it's chicken."

understanding what he's actually saying is hard enough

i totally forgot a couple

Crazy Train - Ozzy Ossbourne is about snorting coke

Bodies - The Sex Pistols is about a crazy fan who left a dead fetus on Johnny's doorstep and is not an anti-abortion song

Eulogy - Tool it is as the song says a eulogy for Bill Hicks

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

The stupidly-famous "Pokerface" by Lady Gaga is actually about her hiding her bisexuality in front of her man. Pop music never ceases to amaze me.

I bet her man wish he knew she was bisexual because alot of my friends find that attractive

 

[clicketycrack]

If you watch Lazytown's "You are a Pirate" backwards, the guy says "the Russians are after me" near the end of the song.

May I ask how you figured that out?

 

[SoonerMatt]

If you play Chicago backwards you get messages from the devil.
