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.

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

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.

Uncle Kracker - Follow me. I used to sing the shit out of it, because I just liked the tune. Until I learn there was a whole different meaning than just "I'm the better guy" lyrics.

I still humm it, but it hits differently.

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
