When the lyrics don't fit the way you feel.
16 Answers
Do you have any songs where the lyrics just don't fit the way the song makes you feel?
I ike the song "The circle is small" by Gordon Lightfoot - it always makes me feel happy and romantic - just looked up the lyrics and it's all about the guys wife having an affair!!! Maybe I shouldn't mention to the other half that I like that song!

I love Gordon Lightfoot too, by the way.
Actually, now I live in Germany, where much of the music played on the radio is English or American, it is amazing how many people sing along with the lyrics (more or less accurately - English wasn't taught much in schools here in the east until comparitively recently) and haven't got a clue what they are singing. So the lyrics are actually meaningless to many people but they like the songs for the sound alone.

i used to have these song lyrics on my profile on another site, and folk would comment on how nice they were quite regularly, a lot of them changed there minds when i told them what they were actually about
When I first met you, you didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Straight people don't know, what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf

it's amazing how many of these "love songs" are actually about people having affairs.
