As the urban legend goes, Collins wrote this song after watching a man let someone drown without trying to save him. There are even stories that Collins found the man in question, invited him to a show and then singled him out in front of a sold-out audience, announcing that "In the Air Tonight" was about him before breaking into an especially vicious version.

But none of this is true, according to Collins. As he explained in a Tonight Show interview, the song was about his divorce. Don't hang up,'" Collins said. There's obviously a lot of anger in there. Few songs in music history have seemed as innocuous as "Jump," a song in which David Lee Roth implores us to jump a lot. Not a lot of layers going on there.

But Roth revealed that the song's origins are actually much darker than anyone could have guessed. There was a whole crowd of people in the parking lot downstairs, yelling 'Don't jump, don't jump.

Just like that, the song that always made us smile because it was silly good fun has become the most depressing song about suicide ever recorded. When John Hughes decided to base his movie about teenage love on an obscure Psychedelic Furs song, he maybe should've listened a little more closely to the lyrics. To be fair, we always thought the song was about a girl who, um… looked pretty in pink?

Not so, says Furs singer and lyricist Richard Butler, who explained that the song was "a metaphor for being naked.

That was the idea of the song. And John Hughes, bless his late heart, took it completely literally and completely overrode the metaphor altogether! According to Mellencamp, Jack wasn't meant to be a white guy. The record execs were not impressed, and purportedly told Mellencamp, "Whoa, can't you make him something other than that?

He eventually agreed to cut the lyrics making it explicit that Jack is African-American, and focus instead on him being a football star. Mellencamp's most successful hit single may not be remembered as a celebration of biracial relationships, but that's definitely where it began. It was Neil Diamond's first 1 hit , and most people just assumed that Cracklin' Rosie, described in the song as a "store-bought woman" and "poor man's lady", was a prostitute.

Turns out, Rosie wasn't even meant to be a person at all. Diamond revealed in a Rolling Stone interview that the song was inspired by a Native American tribe in Canada which had more men than women. But the guys who weren't able to find a girl "get a bottle of Cracklin' Rosie instead ," he said. It's a song that conjures images of lazy summer days and drinking too many margaritas. But if you've ever sung along to more than the "some people claim that there's a woman to blame" part, you might've noticed that the lyrics actually paint a bleak picture.

The song's narrator isn't on vacation, but "wasting away" in a beach resort community, getting tattoos he doesn't remember, looking for lost salt shakers, and drinking endless cocktails to "help me hang on. It sure seems like it, and as the song unfolds, he goes from insisting "it's nobody's fault," to "hell, it could be my fault," to finally "it's my own damn fault. When you think of the Village People song "Macho Man," two words that probably don't spring to mind are dark and serious.

But that's apparently what the French songwriters had in mind, according to David Hodo, otherwise known as the construction worker.

We don't remember that being quite the case, but whatever, some people had fears that masculinity was under attack, and the world needed a song championing men who weren't afraid to dress like sexy Indians or shirtless bikers. Fans of prog-rock legends Rush might be tempted to overanalyze a song like "The Trees.

But when Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart was asked during an interview with Modern Drummer magazine to explain the song, he said it was much, much, much simpler than any of the theories. Everything about this catchy one-hit wonder sounds like '80s synthesizer fluff.

C'mon, it's a song about balloons… Ninety-nine balloons! Has there ever been a song more inconsequential? Well, if you think that, you might want to listen to it again. There's a bigger story happening in this tune than just a bunch of balloons taking flight. I'll never forget that image. Yes, that's right, "99 Luftballons" is about nuclear devastation caused by a innocent bundle of balloons released into the sky by Mick Jagger.

It's been called an anthem for millennials , a generational rejection of consumerism and materialism. But when the New Zealand pop singer explained the song's origins, the message was a bit more… literal.

She had apparently been flipping through an old issue of National Geographic , and happened upon a picture of "this dude signing baseballs," Lorde explained to VH1. I was like, I really like that word, because I'm a big word fetishist. I'll pick a word and I'll pin an idea to that. The part that most people remember about this song is the "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground" line, which sure does sound like a fatal plane crash.

Was Taylor referring to a woman named Suzanne, mentioned earlier in the song for the plans made that "put an end to her "? It was all very mysterious, but it seemed like a love story with an unhappy ending, thanks to an airplane that crashed and killed the object of Taylor's affections.

General Comment not to disagree, i can see what you me, Delomo, but I feel makeartnotmath might be on the right track. But I definitely think that's what it's about.

General Comment i feel he is speaking of a girl that perhaps has rejected him, i feel like he's given up in this song, at least given up on the girl, and now he is wondering where she will take her life.

General Comment This is a song Nick is singing to a girl he loves but has rejected him. Nick is not bitter, he is just melancholic and reflective in the way he poses her the question who will she choose as the love of her life?

However, it can also be applied to the listener in general, as Nick asks us, who will we love forever? A question that is extremely hard to answer, but when found, the key to true happiness. General Comment To me, it means many things. I dont think a definitive meaning should be assigned, either. To me it speaks of the 1 Girl lost. Significant other if you will 2 Writing about his parents. I feel there is a nice disconnect here. General Comment Lucinda Williams has recorded a sad cover of this song revolcisum on April 08, Link.
