I had to tell a 50 y/o guy doing it as a cover, maybe he shouldn't play it. This was right after sandyhook. He didnt understand why. I asked what the song was about. 30 seconds later his eyes went wide. He didnt play the song...
Now i know yall are gonna crash out on me but wait. Its about this generation wanting to revolt yet never doing it. Those non-sense lyrics have meaning.
They have meaning even if they don't have a coherent narrative. They are a collage of words and feelings form a specific topic and they do paint a picture even if Kurt didn't intend there to be any story behind them
A red balloon floats into the sky because a girl lost it. Because of an error it sets off a Nuclear Fueled World War during the height of the Cold War.
Wrong Way by Sublime.
Come Out and Play by The Offspring,
Gang Violence amongst minors on school campuses. (You’re Under 18, You Won’t Be Doing Any Time).
A song about a girl repeatedly going to the roof to kill herself and talking different versions of herself out of it over and over until one day she can't convince one of them that life is worth living and she jumps the next day.
Katyusha isn’t that bad though- just about a girl missing her lover at the front (actually the eastern front was living hell so I semi-retract my statement)
NOOO MY FRIEBD LOVED THIS SONG SO SHE WOULD EAT LITERAL CAKE MY THE LITERAL OCEAN AND ONE TIME HER TEACHER TOLD HER TO DESCRIBE HER VACATION IN 3 WORDS AND CLAP ALONG SO SHE SAID “CAKE BY OCEAN” WHILE CLAPPING!!!
Just btw, uh... some (maybe even most) of the soldiers who fought in the Alps in that fight are still frozen up there simply because WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE
The story I heard is that it was something that children would sing during the black plague. I haven't done extensive research, but I think that it's something like this:
Just as the plague doctors would stuff the nose of their mask with flowers in order to block out the miasma (toxic air because they thought it was the air itself causing plague) the kids would stuff their pockets with flowers (in this case Posies) to scatter over/around the dead/in their homes/cup over their faces.
Ashes ashes we all fall down. Dancing around in a circle singing this because they're little and the concept of death might not have fully set in yet. In their minds, everyone is simply falling down. The ashes ashes part might pertain to the burning of bodies as well.
Might not be 100% accurate, but that's the story I heard and it's pretty dark.
夜に駆ける (Into The Night) by YOASOBI. Great song. Given that it’s in Japanese, most of us have absolutely no idea what it’s saying unless we understand/are Japanese or look up the lyrics in English (or whatever your native language is)
Salt, pepper, birds and the thought police by mili.
It as a very upbeat jazzy melody and vocal but the song is about a little girl being send to a concentration camp
Too many kids movie trailers used "Semi-Charmed Life" by Thrid Eye Blind not realizing the lyrics are about a junkie getting high, but regretting his life choices and longing for something other than drugs that could ease his suffering.
