This list will feature 10 songs whose actual meanings are much different than what is popularly believed.ġ0. Some songs are misinterpreted because people don’t bother to read the lyrics and are caught up in the music, while others can be misunderstood because people read too much into those lyrics and come up with some crazy theories about what they mean. Sometimes there can be a deeper meaning hidden behind a catchy chorus, and sometimes not. Inspiration for song lyrics can come from an infinite number of places, but sometimes the “unknown” origin of the lyrics is the best part and keeps fans guessing.
I had birth on the brain, I was struck by what a funny pun it was to be bounced from the womb.When a song writer is looking to pen their next masterpiece, they need inspiration. "My wife and I were expecting our first kid very soon after I wrote that song. and I guess that always stuck in my mind." But "part way into the writing of the song, I realized it was also about being born," Wilson said. "So I set out to write a new closer for the set, and I just thought, 'Oh, closing time,' because all the bars that I would frequent in Minneapolis. "I was initially trying to write a song to end the Semisonic shows with," Wilson admitted in 2010. But Semisonic's Dan Wilson says that he understands why so many people miss the message of the 1998 hit at first, he, too ,thought it was going to be a song about closing up shop. But it's really about: Childbirth In the category of "most misunderstood songs," this one is a classic unto itself. "Closing Time," Semisonic: People usually think this is about: What'll come next after last call at the bar. Saw the police and they rolled right past me, no flexin'" - in other words, "basically my interpretation of what a great day would be," Ice Cube has said. Nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A. In between the commentary on girls and fast food, Ice Cube makes pointed references to what a day would be like without gun violence and police harassment.
But as the artist himself has explained, "It Was A Good Day" is completely fictional - which makes its lyrics that much more heartbreaking.
In 2012, the Internet took these theories to the next level and tried to deduce the actual day being referenced in the 1992 single. Ice Cube is such a talented storyteller that when he rhymed about a day in which he hooked up with a girl, watched some MTV, grubbed on Fatburger and didn't have to use his A.K., some apparently thought these were actual, sequential events. But it's really about: The dream of having a day without police harassment and gun violence. "It Was a Good Day," Ice Cube: People usually think this is about: An epic 24 hours that took place in either November 1988 or January 1992.
