Songs with inner meanings?

Question

I was listening to "Wild WIld West" by Escape Club in the 80's and realized something. A web site confirmed this.

This is a Cold War song.

Johnny's in the back room waiting for the big boom (probably refering to a nuclear war).
Sherrif's on the airways talking to the DJ's (probably as warnings)

Ronnie's got a new gun (good reference to Ronald Reagen's major weapons build up).


anyone know any other good songs with inner meanings?

Answer 1

it's a mistake - men at work (nuclear war)

99 red balloons - nena (nuclear war)

Luka - suzane vega (child abuse)

little red corvette - prince (well, you know)

there are so many!

Answer 2

I think every song has an "inner meaning"

my favorite song is "Cigaro" by System of a Down

"We're the regulators that de-regulate,
We're the animators that de-animate"(refering to how the govornment doesnt do thier jobs properly"
"burning up the worlds resources, then we turn and hide"
self-explanitory
"my c*ck is much bigger than yours,
my sh!t stinks much better than yours"(refering to how the govornment thinks they are better than everyone else)

not sure if that is what u meant by "inner meaning" but its a good song..

Also, "Devil in a Midnight Mass" by Billy Talent refers to a pedofile priest who molested the boys in his church group, and threatened to kill them if they told anyone..

"He preyed behind stained glass"

"Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
Forgive me father... Won't make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife"

"The holy water in his hands
Can never wash away his sins"

"Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way"

There is a little known song recorded by Paul McCartney, called, "After The Ball." I believe he wrote it for Linda....describing how after the break-up of the Beatles, she was there, waiting for him,supporting him and loving him. It is on the album, "Back To The Egg."
After The Ball
Paul Mccartney

After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who would love me after the ball.

After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who would love me after the ball.

Well, I arrived, looked around,
But the room was full of strangers.
Nowhere was a friendly face to be found.
Later on, I awoke,
But the party it was over,
There you were, waiting to bring me 'round.

Mm,
After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who loved me after the ball.

After the ball, after the ball,
You were the one out in the hall,
You were the one,
The one who loved me after the ball.
