Songs with messages & hidden meanings?

I was listening to the radio yesterday and Take Thats new song Shine came on and the lyrics were really deep and meaningful for me having suffered in the past from an eating disorder. It got me thinking that there must be other songs out there with hidden meanings or messages that relate to eating disorders and other mental illnesses. I would like to put a CD together. Does anyone have a song that sticks in their mind because it resonates with them for what they have been through or are going through? If so please share your thoughts and why that song.


Thanks

It talks about how you can feel alone in a world full of people.
Reply:Let's Not **** Ourselves (To Love And Be Loved) by Bright Eyes.. The bit near the end when he describes a conversation with his dad in the hospital... really got me..
Reply:Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I love music because it can help heal us when we need it.





When my mom died I kept the Foo FIghters :Its times like these" on my mp3 player and listened to it like a million times. I still listen to it several times a week.





Recently, ( a few months ago) I bought the Blue October album and really like it because the lead singer suffers from Bipolar disorder. Even the upbeat songs are pretty dark if you listen to the words or know what it is about. One is Hate me today.... THe video is awesome you have to watch it.... And another one about a ship going to shore. The video is about a cruise ship and it deals with getting over wanting to kill yourself.





Also, Nirvana is always good, for sure.... Tori Amos she has remade a couple of Nirvana songs that are great. Good luck
Reply:There are tons of songs like that. I think it's important to find music that resonates with you, because it's much more enjoyable when you can understand it.
Reply:Mike Oldfield's "Talk About Your Life" has the line"It's not easy going where no one goes, and no one knows". It really spoke to how I often feel isolated as someone with Asperger's. The Song "Liberation" which uses quotes from Anne Frank's diary spoke to me of hope in the worst circumstances.





"17 Again" by the Eurythmics has the lines "Thought that you'd done everything, you didn't have a clue". It reminded me how disastrous my university attempt was because I hadn't realised how much of a problem Asperger's was at university.
Reply:I think songs really differ from person to person. Different people will have different reactions to different songs.
Reply:Behind Blue eyes is very deep I think it is by Limp Biscuit
Reply:check out lyrics.com, that might help, good luck!
Reply:The pass by Rush. This is such a good song about how you expect life to be something and then you find it lets you down and how hard that can be.





Calling all angels by Jane Sibley - This is a great song about har times and how things can seem so much better when you ask for help.
Reply:eminems stan i find really thoughtfull
Reply:I think imagine has hidden messages
Reply:"From a Balance Beam" or "Perfect Sonnet", both by Bright Eyes.





See, this is the exact reason that makes "musicians" like Britney Spears no good. There is no importance, no real meaning in her music. It's about sex and relationships, and its all blaitantly obvious. Music needs depth, it needs to be abstract and symbolic. I'm glad you recognize this.





Peace, and best of wishes :)

IN the 60,s advertisements on tv and music had subliminal messages, which are hidden, and affect the subconscious mind...this was done by creating another sound using another deck, playing the two at the same time and recording the two together, so the subliminal message, such as, BEANZ means HEINZ, was just a fraction below audible level but ???? HMMMM!!! Do you know, I fancy some beans right now!!


This was banned in the early seventies, but films still advertise products, in a similar legal manner...eg, a packet of kelloggs clearly in shot, but as you are watching the action,


probably did not notice it....companys pay to have their products showcased in films, so when you get home, you have a feeling of deja vu, when your in the kitchen making a coffee and glance at your cereal packet.
Reply:Elton John, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. "LSD" Tripping.


Does not mean anything TO ME on a personal level, just thought it was along the lines of what you are asking.
Reply:All songs can have meanings for us, to refer to them as having hidden messages is a little worrying. In psychiatry there is a term called 'ideas of reference' whereby some people believe that the radio or tv is speaking to them. It is something you might want to check out with your G.P.
Reply:you should listen to some songs by goo goo dolls john rzeznik has produced some serious lyrics that get you thinking, i am biased though but have a listen to them xxx
Reply:Linkin Park's new song... What I've Done.


i think its about like all of us contributing to make a worse planet
