I'm interested in other people's ideas on different/not often shared song lyric meaning interpretations.
I know songs are just entertainment but I do love delving into messages behind them.
I always see In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins actually what the protagonist of want of a better word, imagines a certain person is thinking. They can see he's going to get what he deserves / they wouldn't save him if he was drowning and that they saw what he did.
He's seeing someone looking at him in a certain way and he thinks they know exactly what he did.
Bohemian Rhapsody is about how Freddy Mercury feels about his HaiV diagnosis and how others reacted to it.
My he part about killing a man, ruining there life he's referring the man being himself as he gave himself this illness.
When it comes to the middle section he's battling with self mercy and accepting it will/is taking him over.
At the end he's referring to those he loves abandoning and judging him. Then coming to the conclusion it doesn't matter because he will die from the illness anyway.
Creep by Radiohead in essence is someone with social anxiety, depression and possibly a cluster C personality disorder likely avoidant. They want to fit in but they just can't because they aren't good enough.
I also see the song Bitch as someone with bipolar or BPD as it shares a lot of the duplicate that comes with both.
Sorry that was longer than expected - curious what alternatives to others you have.
