Songs that have hidden meanings
 

Does any one know any songs that have hidden meanings? I like talking about this kind of stuff.

you mean metaphors?

where to start...

What do you think the song Hotel California means?

The Shining, but eh, maybe he's just talking about a bad relationship in which he's scared to leave because he's so attached to his girlfriend.

These are the Days by Sugarland has a hidden message. But only the Sugarlanders who know what they have been through in the past year or so will know what it means.

Is this like that Backmasking type of thing?

If a song has a hidden meaning, that means the author hasn't disclosed it, which means it's simply fan-based speculation, which means essentially any song can have any hidden meaning, amirite?

It all depends on how liberally you approach the meaning of the word 'hidden' in this circumstance. I would still say that things like hidden tracks constitute being a hidden 'meaning', especially when CD's were still the meanings through which you listened to music. Digitized files on computers kind of killed off that hidden track thing though, as you could easily see that there was so much running time left.
