That things are not exactly as they seem or in this case sound, is proved by the following 10 songs in which the essence is not clear at first listening. Therefore, enjoy both the music and the demystification of City Magazine.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles"

If you take a closer look at the title, you will notice that the letters "LSD" stand out. So, the song is not about Lucy, but about hallucinogenic substances. John Lennon initially denied this, but it was later confirmed by Paul McCartney.

Hotel California - Eagles

The lyrics of the song allegedly tell a fictional and vague story about a traveler who was staying in a hotel. However, the theme is self-destruction, greed in the music industry, and the vision of the failed American dream.

London Calling - The Clash

More than a political stance on Britain, the song is about Joe Stramer's fear of drowning. Namely, after the members of the band read the news that the Thames will flood London, the idea for this song was born. In essence, the meaning lies in the fact that every day can be a potential end to the world.

"Just Like Heaven - The Cure"

Band leader Robert Smith is known for his poetic lyrics and hit tunes. And while everything here points to a classic love song, Smith is actually recounting an incident when he experienced hyperventilation and began to faint.

"I Shot the Sheriff - Bob Marley"

Reggae music legend Bob Marley often has a double meaning in his songs. In this, he expresses a desire for his girlfriend not to use birth control pills, and the doctor who prescribed them is the "sheriff".

"Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler"

This is one of the most famous love songs of the eighties. The song was originally supposed to be called "Vampires in Love", which gives the song a completely different meaning if you remember the lyrics. So, in essence, the words connote the dark love of two vampires.

"In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins"

Usually most people think that the theme of the song is a drowning man, but Phil talks about the traumatic divorce from his first wife. The singer emphasized that the feeling of anger and the bitter side of divorce are the points of the song.

Poker Face - Lady Gaga

The pop music icon has been declared bisexual for a long time, but in this song it is subtly presented, so many did not immediately understand the message. But the words say that Gaga is in love with a girl while she is with her boyfriend.

Chandelier - Sia

Many people think that this is a party song, but the truth is quite the opposite. Sia wrote it after battling alcoholism and drug addiction. She surrendered to the vices when her boyfriend died in a car accident.

"Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd"

Anyone who thinks that the lyrics of the song show excitement when someone is in love is wrong. The singer actually confesses, admitting between the lines that he is addicted to various opiates.
