Songs with a message -

[Vodka's My BFF]

Okay, now I've been thinking about this for some time. There are so many catchy songs out there right now, but how many have something to convey? I've had Sia's Chandelier on my playlist for a minute, but after I read the lyrics I saw something deeper. Is there a song you've found something in or identified with? Discuss...

 

[hm yeah]

this song applies to a number of people we've all met

A lot of songs have messages. Subliminal messages.

An entire verse of Stairway to Heaven can be played backwards to hear a very audible ode to Satan, and all the little fools and even the number 666.

This is even done today, as seen in Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" (aka, the worst song in recent times, even being worse than the "Harlem Shake" and "Gangnam style", aka "Harlem Shit" and "Gangnam Garbage")

Nancy Reagan? Anyway a couple of Kendrick Lamar tracks come to mind.

Particularly like the latter. The Pusha T half being the typical coke-slinging gangsta trope with Kendrick covering the other side of drugs is just a cool little gimmick to use. Kendrick being dope as all hell helps.

Self explanatory.

Spoiler: Pretty offensive

Pretty much everything by System of a Down is about the government and genocide.
