>listen to album for years >over time listen more closely

this is how I feel anytime I listen to a catchy song then realize the lyrics are about being gay

...such as?

fuck man this happens to me so often and it never diminishes in how awful it feels
just this morning i just realized i don't really fuck with gavin degraws "I Don't Want To Be" despite it being my favorite radio tune for so long. But after reading the lyrics... it's so self righteous. I always thought he said "All I gotta do is think of me, and I'll be someone"

which I took as "just focus on yourself and your goals and there is no way you won't become someone of worth"

but it's really "All I gotta do is think of me, and I have peace of mind"

which is basically saying "im perfect and flawless and whenever I feel troubled I just look in the mirror" so whatever

however; Jimmy Eats World's "The Middle" is still pretty sound in it's philosophical message. There are not a lot of songs on the top 100 or w/e that have a net benefit to the society.

thank you for giving me an example of a song that is about being gay

>listen to Wildflower meme song (Frankie Sinatra)
>thought he was saying "Frankie my boy you don't know, you haven't the right voice to sing calypso"
>assumed it was sampled from some ultra obscure 1950's/60's calypso diss track
>thought to myself that that's a cool and brave thing to do back then
>turns out he's saying "you have the perfect voice to sing calypso"
>headcanon ruined
I should probably pay more attention.

Happened to me with MPP. Thought the album was about being homeless and how being completely stripped of materialism makes you realise that the happiest things in life are found in the simple luxuries we all take for granted, like having a roof over our head and a meal every day

>A friend and me were getting by
>in a moving room filled with arts and crafts
>he said I left you clothes
>in a trunk safe
>but what I really want is a simple place
>with no fancy clothes cause you can't eat those

I thought those were the lyrics to 'Taste'. Also...

>There isn't much that I feel I need
>A solid soul and a ???
>with a little girl I'd buy my house
>I only want a proper house

Though those were the lyrics to My Girls

Other lyrics I remember include 'listening to songs from cars as they pass by' while 'sleeping under cardboard smell that trash'. Like you know a homeless person does

>listen to 'Harmony' 50+ times before I hear the female vocalist singing 'FIND A FAMILY' in the background

also there's morse code playing during the last track

I remember thinking "Daily Routine" was about a young woman living in the city feeling both belittled and exhausted trying to get by and feel loved, too.
>AND WALKING SMAAAALLLLLL

Realised 'Jules Lost his Jewels' by Ariel Pink is about his penis and couldn't listen to it anymore

Pretty sure it's about his cat being neutered
