Tool H has been repeatedly misinterpreted as it's about heroin.
With lyrics like considerably killing me days away I feel you touching me changing me, I am to connected to fade away and I feel this coming over like a storm again. Venomous voice temps me drains me leaves me cracked and empty drags me down like some Sweet gravity.
The H is for Human as 3 of the members all had children between Undertow and Anemia
Maynard's sons middle name is H
Now the lyrics make sense what's coming through is alive, what's holding up is a mirror my blood before me begs me and as I look in his eyes my fear begins to fade and I could have cried then I should have cried days away I still feel you touching me changing me and considerably killing me but I don't mind

Toni Braxton's You're Making Me High is not about a man who is wants and craves. She smoked a joint and got a little high. That song is about her experience smoking it and how it made her feel that one time.
Also, Foster the People's Pumped Up Kicks. I mean, if you read the lyrics, you can gather what the song is about. However, when the it came out, we vibed with the song, without paying attention to what was being said. And then when we learned the lyrics, after playing the hell out of the song, we started to uh. we started to realize what it was about.

Honorable mention: Lucy in the sky, by The Beatles.
Actually Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds is about how he sold his soul to Lucifer. Lucifer being the moon and the diamonds are obviously the stars.
The song starts off with him reminiscing back to his innocent and peaceful childhood. The boat and nature around him. While suddenly, temptation calls. The light barrier, the morning star.

I was young when Puff the Magic Dragon was released. So I knew well it was about a magical dragon that existed in childhood and disappeared with adulthood. The song used to make me cry haha. The tale is a bit like My Dog Skip, but imaginary - the loss of magic and innocence as we move from wide-eyed wonder to the loony teens until we reach the neurotic world of adulthood.

There is no such thing. Art should be open to interpretation and everyone it impacts has its own world view. Even if the artist who wrote says it has particular meaning, you can still have your interpretation. I’m sick of this trend, especially the Every Breath You Take’ cliche example.

For about 40 years people have known that Every Breath You Take is a stalker song. Back then, There was the existence of a print media called Magazines. Rolling Stone called it out for what it was. Right away. Probably even did interviews with band members

I’m surprised that anyone has to be told that You Belong to Me is a song about a stalker. I’ve known for a long time. In fact I always thought it was ironic, that the band is literally called The Police and the song is about stalking.

27: 45 people don’t get the meaning wrong. It just makes them feel the opposite of how Billy Joe Armstrong intended. Some artists are talented, and do this on purpose. For him it’s just being tone death.

And we are sure the R. E. M. song is not about the love of his life; FIRE As in pyromania, and leaving it behind him. after all, simple prop could be any device that is used to light fires.

This video could also be titled An exercise in never listening to what musicians have to say about their own songs, because most of the time they're either high, or trolling, or both.
Too long

I knew the song Puff The Magic Dragon was from a story. I saw Peter Paul and Mary do a mini concert at my elementary school like once a year for a few years when I went to the school.

Hello by Lionel Richie - the entire song is about an imagined relationship some guy has created in his mind with a Blind neighbour. Follow me -- Uncle Kracker - Blatant affair.

I would've expected Fastball's The Way to be on this list, but that would've been a song which nobody got the meaning of until years later.
