Songs I didn’t know had secret meanings #2

Posted on by Private Person

I’ve been looking up songs and found more surprises:

Every breathe you take – The police

I like this song but I’ve read its meant to be about a stalker. I didn’t think there was anything bad with it, but I don’t like stalkers.

Total eclipse of the heart – Bonnie Tyler

I just read this song was meant to be about Vampire love. Apparently the writer originally wrote it for a musical, about – get this – Nosferatu.

Summer of 69 – Bryan Adams.

Okay, now I think about it, him being a teen in the year of 1969 doesn’t make sense. He was born in 1959, so would have been 10. The song, about a sex position, was released in 1985. I always thought it was a 90s song.

Maniac – Michael Sembello

“She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor…”

I’ve always thought that describing a woman dancing as a “maniac” was strange, but after watching the video from Todd in the shadows, I understand why.

Songs I didn’t know had secret meanings #1

Posted on by Private Person

I’ve heard that people with ASD miss meanings of things and I guess sometimes that’s correct. There are many songs I didn’t understand or totally missed the hidden meaning of.

Roxanne – The Police

Are songs written intentionally to have secret meanings?

In case you didn’t know, this song is meant to be about a man who is in love with a prostitute. I guess the lyrics give some clues:

“You don’t have to sell you body to the night…”

Closing time – Semisonic

I wasn’t really into this song, but am surprised that its about the singers expected baby being born.

Urgent – Foreigner

This is one of my favourite songs, but I didn’t get what it as about until recently. Its about late night snu snu.

Flagpole Sitta – Harvey Danger

“I’m not sick but I’m not well…”

Remember this song from the first American Pie movie? I read this song is about a book called Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.  Also a bit about masturbation.
