Like a virgin kind of hits me the same way it did for the songwriter. I left an abusive relationship last year, and soon got into a new relationship, and everything is so much different. It took a while to get used to things that are normal in healthy relationships that weren't in my abusive one, like respect, boundaries, and the word no being accepted.

Remember being out with a friend who was an aupair here and just learning danish. A common danish 80s son was played, and she looked at me and said. That song is so upbeat, but the lyrics are so sad.
Most have heard that song a hundred times, but yeah, it's about a guy being left by his girlfriend in a letter

Everyone knows that Pumped Up Kicks has dark lyrics at this point lol. Its a fantastic song (FTP has many, many more songs that are even better, but listening to the lyrics for even one verse would tell you exactly what it's about. The chorus literally contains run, faster than my bullets

I knew about the majority of these except for Chandelier! I love that song and had no idea it was about her alcoholism. I’ve heard many artists say that song writing is very therapeutic. Congratulations to Sia for getting sober because it isn’t an easy thing to do.

I think everyone who hears Mr. Brightside knows what he's singing about. The tone of that song perfectly matches the message of the lyrics, unlike most of the rest of these songs. The only ironic aspect of it is the title, but if you listen to it, you get it.

It's just like Stromae songs Papaoutai and Alors on Danse. They sound very cheerful. But Papaoutai is about boy who lost his father and can't understand it, because mother protects him from truth. Alors on Danse is about struggle and depression

I really didn't get why the Scrubs tropical wedding episode featured a sad acoustic vocal version of Hey Ya during the wedding. That version especially made it clear it was about infidelity and the inevitable impermanence of love.

Ah, nothing says Party Time! quite like dancing to a song about a woman cheating on her boyfriend with two of his friends. However, the spoken lyrics are hard to hear, and you'd likely be too busy dancing to the chorus.

Honorable mention; The Way by Fastball. An elderly couple go missing while on their way to a music festival and their living relatives haven't heard from them since. See Mr Ballin video for further details.

I remember hearing Semi Charmed Life in a trailer for The Tigger Movie, though they eventually had to pull the ads after discovering that the song had a darker meaning underneath its bouncy exterior.

Lucky by Britney Spears and Waterfalls by TLC. As catchy as those songs were, both songs, especially Waterfalls, packed a strong punch to the gut with their respective subject matter.

Music is all about voicing the strongest emotions the lyric writers have experienced. I'd say most songs ever written would fit on this list, but gotta make the content i get it.

Well, I don't know most of these songs, but it seems like maybe people just don't listen to lyrics. A lot of songs are sad. Maybe listen to the songs you like

Not a single interview given by Freddie, or any Queen member, has ever given the story behind the song.
I think you just wanted to sound Freudian

How can anybody not think that Bo Rhap has a dark meaning. The lyrics clearly describe a man who is facing execution for murder.

dude 90% of these songs i knew had a darker meaning 1. because of the music video and 2. because of listening to the lyrics.
