Mnogo je takvih pesama čiji tekst ima neko simbolično značenje, a ne ono koje nam prvo padne na pamet.
Pesme poput Perfect Day, Purple Haze, Neko te ima noćas, Lutka, Ti si mi u mislima, Da sam pekar,
koje na prvo slušanje imaju lirski i ljubavni tekst, po nekim tumačenjima zapravo govore o ljubavi prema drogama.

Postoje i pesme koje iza svojih reči kriju i neke interesantne događaje.
Neke legendarne pesme prati i priča o njima, ali je ne čujemo od svih tonova koje je okružuju.
Kao i sve nas, i muzičare motiviše emocija.




Sia - "Chandalier"​

Iako nam sam spot pesme često odvlači pažnju od samih reči,
njegovi svetli kadrovi samo udaraju kontrast tami koju ova pesma krije.
Sia, koja je sama i napisala tekst ove pesme rekla je kako pesma opisuje osećanje straha
koje je ona sama pokušavala da zaleči - najčešće alkoholom.




Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one for a "good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame (ah)
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back 'til I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight

 

Kejti Peri - "Firework"​

Ova eksplozivna pesma koja ima takav i naziv, ima pomalo morbidnu pozadinu.
Iako je mi uglavnom puštamo kada želimo sebe da pokrenemo,
Kejti je inspirisalo nešto sasvim suprotno.
Kada je je razmišljala šta želi da uradi sa svojim telom kada umre,
ona je smislila da je baš kao i vatromet "ispucaju" preko okeana -
i o tome onda napisala pesmu.




Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

 

Lejdi Gaga - "Poker Face"​

Lejdi Gaga je ispričala kako je pesma nastala u trenucima kada je imala seks sa muškarcem
koga je morala da zavara "poker faceom" da uživa, dok je ona čitavo vreme zamišljala neku drugu
, žensku osobu na njegovom mestu. Ako pažljivo analiziramo tekst, prilično je očigledno.

Mum-mum-mum-mah
Mum-mum-mum-mah
Mum-mum-mum-mah
Mum-mum-mum-mah
Mum-mum-mum-mah
I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
Love game intuition, play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be (hey)
A little gamblin' is fun when you're with me (I love it)
Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby, when it's love, if it's not rough, it isn't fun (fun)
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
(Mum-mum-mum-mah)
(Mum-mum-mum-mah)
I won't tell you that I love you, kiss or hug you
'Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying, I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunnin'
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(She's got me like nobody)

 

Bitlsi - "Blackbird"​

Džon Lenon i Pol Mekartni su bez sumnje želeli da ovom pesmom pošalju političku poruku.
Pesma zapravo priča o ženi afričko-američkog porekla koja se bori protiv rasizma
za vreme Pokreta za građanska prava koji se borio čitavu deceniju za jednaka prava svih građana SAD-a.


Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise



 

Marun 5 - "Harder to Breathe"​

Prvu pesmu na debi albumu poznatog benda prati pogrešan glas
da je posvećena bivšoj devojci pevača Adama Levina.
Iako je istina da ceo album jeste posvećen njoj, ova pesma nije.
Ona govoi o pritisku koji je bend osećao od strane izdavačke kuće da završi album.





How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have got the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step 'cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that I am walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And like a little girl cries in the face
Of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there
'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there
'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face
Of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there
'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there
'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And like a little girl cries in the face
Of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there
'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

 

Madona - "Like a Virgin"​

Globalni hit za koji svi pretpostavljaju da govori o seksu.
Zapravo, nema veze sa fizičkim delom ljudskog odnosa.
Pesma govori kako svaka nova veza odaje utisak kao da prvi put
prolazimo kroz seksualna i ljubavna iskustva, baš kao device (emotivne).



I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat
Incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last
You're so fine
And you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
Like a virgin, hey
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine
Whoa
Whoa, ah
Whoa
You're so fine
And you're mine
I'll be yours
'Til the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide
Like a virgin, hey
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine
Like a virgin, oh oh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me
And your heart beats
And you love me

 

Blondi - "One Way or Another"​

Pesma je inspirisana ličnim iskustvom pevačice Debi Hari kroz koje je prolazila tih dana.
Naime, imala je svog stalkera koji je pratio kud god da krene
- otud i naziv ove pesme. Stavljanjem sebe u ulogu stalkera
ona je razvila odrambeni mehanizam koji joj je pomogao da se nosi sa jako teškim periodom u životu.



One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya, I'll get ya, I'll get ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya
I'll meet ya, ah
And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
A slip of the hip or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm wanna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all, find out who you call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
One way, or another, I'm wanna get ya
I'll get ya, I'll get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
(where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm wanna get ya................................................

 
  • Le Freak – Chic​

Čuveni poziv u ovom velikom disko hitu da svi „odlepimo“ jer je to šik, zapravo je nastao na ne-tako-kul način.
Naime, na novogodišnje veče 1977. muzičke legende Najl Rožers i Bernard Edvards iz grupe Chic
odbijeni su na ulazu u kultnu diskoteku Studio 54
.
Besni zbog tog događaja, napisali su pesmu u kojoj je klučna reč bila „F..k off!“
Kasnije je tekst prepravljen u „Le Freak“ a pesma je postala jedan od najvećih disko hitova.
Eto primera kako frustracija može da bude odlična inspiracija.




One, two
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic

Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Have you heard about the new dance craze?
Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed
Big fun to be had by everyone
It's up to you, it surely can be done
Young and old are doing it, I'm told
Just one try and you too will be sold
It's called 'Le Freak', they're doing it night and day
Allow us, we'll show you the way
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic

Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
All that pressure got you down
Has your head been spinning all around?
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of Stomping at the Savoy
Now we "freak, " oh, what a joy
Just come on down to the fifty four
Find your spot out on the floor
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out!
Now freak
I said freak
Now freak
All that pressure got you down
Has your head been spinning all around?
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of Stomping at the Savoy
Now we "freak, " oh, what a joy
Just come on down to the fifty four
Find your spot out on the floor

 
  • Respect-Otis Reding​

Čuveni soul hit koji je postao neka vrsta feminističe himne kada je peva Areta Frenklin,
iz perspektive Otis Redinga, koji je i napisao ovu pesmu, zvuči sasvim drugačije.
Tekst pesme zapravo govori o muškarcu koji zarađuje novac koji žena troši,
a za to očekuje „nagradu“ kod kuće jer, da stvar bude gora, u slengu tog doba reč
respect je označavala zahvalnost u obliku seksa
.
Ispada da hit za koji mislimo da govori o ženskom oslobođenju i pravima
u odnosu na muškarca, zapravo govori o muškarcu koji očekuje seks zbog toga što donosi novac u kuću.



What you want, honey, you got it
And what you need, baby, you got it
All I'm askin' is give me a little respect when I come home
Ooh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, now
Ooh, yeah
You can do me wrong, honey, if you wanna
But only do me wrong, honey, while I'm gone
All I'm askin' is give it, give it when I come home
Ooh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, now
Hey, little girl, you're sweeter than honey
And I wanna give you all of my money
All I'm askin' is give it when I come home
Yeah, now
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, yeah, now
Hey, little girl, you're so sweeter than honey
And I wanna give you all of my money
But all I want you to do is give it, give it, give it when I come home
Ooh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Respect when I want it
Respect when I need it
Respect when I want it
Respect when I need it
Got to, got to have it
We got to have it
Got to, got to have it
Give it to me when I want it
Give it to me when I need it
Give it to me with respect, ah........................................................

 
  • Every Breath You Take – Sting​

Veliki broj ljudi misli da je ovo pesma o ljubavi i pažnji.
Međutim, pesma govori o kontroli i o posesivnosti.
Nastala je u periodu Stingovog razvoda od prve supruge i početku zabavljanja sa drugom suprugom Trudi Stajler.
Da bi se sklonio od javnosti u tom nezgodnom periodu otišao je na Karibe, gde je pesma i nastala.
Kao rezultat razvoda, tekst govori o posesivnom ljubavniku koji nadgleda svaki dah i svaki pokret.


Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take) I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay) I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say) Whoo, hoo
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay) I'll be watching you.................................................

 
  • Hotel California – Eagles​

Hotel Kalifornija iz 1977, jedan je od najvećih muzičkih hitova ikada snimljenih.
Pesma je trebalo da se zove Meksički rege, a napisali su je Glen Frej, Don Henli i Don Felder.
Po tvorcima pesme tekst izgleda kao scenario za neku od epizoda serije Zona Sumraka –
putnik putuje kroz pustinju i odseda u Hotelu Kalifornija, u kome živi mnogo neobičnih likova.
Međutim, pesma ima dublje značenje i simboliku, a govori o autodestrukciji i pohlepi u američkoj muzičkoj industriji sedamdesetih
. Govori o životu na visokoj nozi u LA i “američkom snu” koju su tvorci pesme, članovi benda The Eagles, proživeli i osetili na svojoj koži.
Neka druga tumačenja pesme išla su još dalje i tvrdila da je Hotel Kalifornija metafora za satanističku crkvu Antona Laveya u San Francisku.
Pretpostavljalo se da se misli i na Camarillo duševnu bolnicu.
Druga tumačenja uključuju droge i hanibalizam.



On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax, ' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

 
  • I Don’t Like Mondays – Boomtown Rats​

Većina ljudi ne zna da je ovu rečenicu izgovorila tinejdžerka koja je usmrtila dvoje odraslih
i ranila osmoro dece u osnovnoj školi u San Dijegu
, kao odgovor na pitanje zašto je to uradila.
Ne pokazujući kajanje za svoj postupak rekla je – “Ne volim ponedeljke. Ovo je oživelo dan.”
Radeći intervju na radiju, Bob Geldof je ugledao vest na teletekstu.
Razmišljajući o tome šta je nateralo tinejdžerku na takav postupak, napisao je ovu pesmu.


The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
Down, down, shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like

(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like
I don't like
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down

 
  • Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana​

Ovaj veliki hit nastao je ’90-tih i postao prava grandž himna tog vremena.
Kurt Kobejn kaže da je nastala pod jakim uticajima benda The Pixies, kojima se on divio.
Sam naslov ukazuje na socijalnu i političku pozadinu tog vremena, implicira kritiku tog doba.
Međutim, naslov pesme je nastao potpuno drugačije – njegova prijateljica Ketlin Hana,
koja je u to vreme bila pevačica benda Bikini Kil, napisala je na zidu njegove sobe
„Kurt smells like Teen Spirit“ s obzirom da je devojka sa kojim se tada zabavljao
koristila dezodorans po imenu Teen Spirit
.


Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
Yay
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
Yay
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

 
  • Chelsea Hotel no. 2 – Leonard Coen​

Čelzi hotel je kultno mesto na Menhetnu,
u kome su živeli i odsedali mnogi poznati umetnici poput Bob Dilana, Madone, Bukovskog, Artura Klarka, Marka Tvena, Džimija Hendriksa.
U jednom trenutku tamo su se našli i Leonard Koen i Dženis Džoplin.
Pesma govori o njihovoj kratkoj ljubavnoj aferi i oralnom seksu.


I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talkin' so brave and so sweet
Givin' me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street
Those were the reason an' that was New York
We were runnin' for the money and the flesh
And that was called love for the workers in song
Probably still is for those of them left
Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said: Well, never mind
We are ugly but we have the music
And you got away, didn't you, baby?
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't even think of you that often

 
  • Smoke On The Water – Deep Purple​

Članovi benda došli su u mesto Montre na Ženevskom jezeru da snime album -
Machine Head i sa sobom doneli montažni studio.
U isto vreme u Sali kazina nastupao je i Frenk Zapa.
Članovi benda bili su na koncertu kada je neko iz publike ispalio hice iz signalnog pištolja
i zgrada se zapalila i izgorela do temelja
.
Basista Rodžer Glover dobio je inspiraciju za pesmu gledajući kako se dim širi po površini Ženevskog jezera.



We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground,
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
But burning down
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race, now
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
With the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
Few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget,
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water


 
  • One – U2​

Još jedna pesma koja je potpuno drugačije protumačena.
Često je ljudi na venčanjima biraju za prvi ples i tako misle da su odabrali dobru simboliku.
Ovaj hit benda U2 napravio je iskorak u njihovom stilu.
Izrazita lirika sa primesama soula, koja čini da pesma deluje izrazito ljubavno,
zapravo govori o rastajanju i problematici u odnosima.




Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One!
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothin' now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One................................................................
 
o kom Bogu ona peva u pesmi? možemo predpostaviti..


Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
Just like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
