Someone should make a spotify Playlist of all of these songs

Pretty much everything that's EDM. Lots of Deadmau5 songs sound like they're meaningful when you only catch a few words here and there, then you read the lyrics and find out they're all about sex. Pomegranate is a good example. I still like them, but I don't think they're meaningful now.

I’m surprised at the number of people who don’t know Weezer’s “Hashpipe” is about male prostitution.

Well, as I said, I never paid attention to the lyrics before I looked them up. 🤷‍♂️

Such an upbeat 90s pop song with lyrics like "doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break."

I don't like Mondays from the Boomtown Rats.

Mind, when I first heard it my English was not that good so I really only got the Chorus about not liking Mondays (and who does, eh?). Dismissed the "shoot the whole day down" as an idiom for something which I did not know.

Then at some point much later I realized it's actually a school shooting.

Running to the Sea - Royksopp. Now that I know it's about some sort of terrorist attack, I just feel weird listening to it now
