Stan....

This thread is dedicated to the musical community of deep meaning. You know something a little more than rapping about money, or pop singing about fireworks.

This song by eminem, called stan

its pretty deep, especially for a rapper but what else do you expect from eminem huh?

be warned it does contain some vulgarity but check it out if you aint scared



so just discuss and talk about music that has meaning
 
All of Linkin Park's songs? Everyone agree, you know it's true.
 
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day... I believe its about the lead singer growing up without a father.
 
Almost everything by Three Days Grace. Some examples:

One-X - It's about being different, sticking out from the crowd while still standing tall.

Life Starts Now - Basically about life is never really over, and even when you can't see how everything is supposed to get better, it will eventually.

Bully - It's trying to give people a more nuanced picture of those people who go out and commit school shootings. The song even says "Blame the family. Blame the bully. Blame it all on me. Maybe he needed to feel wanted?" I actually never did anything about it (Which is a good thing), but as someone who was bullied throughout school, I can related to these lyrics.

Never Too Late - I can't put this into words. Just... Listen to it.

Eminem is (was) good, but his image is blown up to epic proportions because he's white and still makes hip-hop tracks that appeal to people. He wasn't the first to rap about life, nor was he the first to have "shocking" lyrics.

The "deep meaning" concept always makes me laugh, as I've been conditioned to visualize the myriads of Tool fans on YouTube dissecting every song for its "true meaning." It's childish to listen to something just for a "hidden meaning." It's basically the same mentality of the people in the 70s who went around breaking record players by playing the records backward to look for Satanic messages. Just listen to the music.

After all, simplicity is often the best writing device.
