I’m surprised at the number of people who don’t know Weezer’s “Hashpipe” is about male prostitution.

Someone should make a spotify Playlist of all of these songs
Well, as I said, I never paid attention to the lyrics before I looked them up. 🤷♂️
Such an upbeat 90s pop song with lyrics like "doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break."

Pretty much everything that's EDM. Lots of Deadmau5 songs sound like they're meaningful when you only catch a few words here and there, then you read the lyrics and find out they're all about sex. Pomegranate is a good example. I still like them, but I don't think they're meaningful now.
I don't like Mondays from the Boomtown Rats.
Mind, when I first heard it my English was not that good so I really only got the Chorus about not liking Mondays (and who does, eh?). Dismissed the "shoot the whole day down" as an idiom for something which I did not know.
Then at some point much later I realized it's actually a school shooting.
Running to the Sea - Royksopp. Now that I know it's about some sort of terrorist attack, I just feel weird listening to it now

the two Who rock operas are chock full of stuff that went over my head because i heard them when i was younger than i probably should have been. in this case the songs are written from character POVs so i wouldn't say they make me think less of the band because of the content, but jeez, 10 year old me never would've figured Love Reign O'er Me for example was about a suicide attempt as opposed to, you know, feeling loved
