I'll go first

The Beatles song Taxman obviously is about over taxation but at one point they refer to two people named Mr Wilson, and Mr Heath. These are referring to British government officials who supported higher taxes...

The song You Are My Sunshine is actually a song about a depressed man who's lover left him for another man, and the song is him pleading with her. It's so strange that people use it as a romance song or about loving your family when it was not originally that at all.

The song This Land Is Your Land isn't really a "pro-America" song like it is often taught or used. It's actually a protest song criticizing the US government for letting companies buy up land for private use. The song is advocating that land in the US should be free to use for everyone.

"No more half-measures" means "if he becomes a problem again, he's going to die".

Yoasobi - Racing into the Night

Even though this song has an official English translation I still believe that the meaning still flies over people's heads.

That meaning being that the song is essentially about suicide, many people interpret it as as a song about a girl who constantly tries to jump from a rooftop while also calling this boy to meet her there and he tells her to stop and come back, eventually he gets frustrated not only with the girl but with the world around him and life itself and eventually reaches the same suicidal mindset as the girl (which she is pleased to see).

As she calls him to the rooftop one last time he comes to the realization that she didn't call him to meet here there for him to stop her, it's because she wanted him to jump and die with her, and as they clasp each other's hands they go "Racing into the Night", essentially meaning that their bodies are falling so fast that it looks like they're Racing into the Night.

The song itself takes a lot of inspiration from “The Seduction of Thanatos” by Mayo Hoshino which states that there are two types of people in the world. Those controlled by “Thanatos” have an inclination towards death, while those controlled by “Eros” have an instinct to live.

This song is essentially about the girl (who is implied to be Thanatos) seducing the boy into jumping with her.

For the song being so upbeat it has such a dark meaning and story behind it, essentially the "Pumped Up Kicks" of Japan.

who's up fooling their cooly?

When I first discovered Harry Styles' Sign of the Times, I thought it was about the end of the world, but apparently according to him it's about...a dying mother? I sure don't hear it.

The Heinrich Maneuver by Interpol is their cheesiest song (seriously, nothing else by them sounds like this). However, it could be interpreted as heartbreak over a long distance relationship.

American Pie is about (THE EFFECTS OF) the deaths of Buddy Holly,Richie Valens (if you wanna learn some more about him watch La Bamba ig),and JP “The Big Bopper” Richardson

Also in I Am The Walrus by The Beatles has many interpretations but one I find interesting is The Animals former lead singer Eric Burdon claims to be the “eggman” in the lyrics.

I actually knew about that first one. Never saw the documentary though.

I love that song, and I feel like it's probably just random nonsense. Paul himself said each line was inspired by a different Acid trip they had.

La Bamba is a Biopic.
