Re: What songs did you initially misunderstand?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-26 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
I thought "Every Breath You Take" by The Police was a song about someone who had died and was looking over their mourning loved one from heaven. The person in heaven was distressed that the person on earth wasn't coping well ("how my poor heart aches with every step you take" referring to how it hurts seeing their living loved one struggle as they go about life, with "every smile you fake" and "every vow you break" referring to the living person's inner unhappiness and how they were withdrawing from life). The part starting with "since you've been gone, I've been lost without a trace..." was from the point of the view of the person on earth. The ultimate message of the song was "you're not alone, it's okay, I'm always with you."

...Granted, ghost person is still sounding rather possessive, and it's pretty unusual for a random POV change in the middle of a song that isn't a duet, but I was like five or six when I first heard the song, and I think an older relative had recently died.
