Questioning and Analyzing the lyrics of Songs

r/ExplainThisSong

It's fairly easy now to find lyrics to a song that you enjoy, but they mean nothing if you don't understand them. Sometimes the lyrics in a song can be very vague and obscure, so this subreddit will help you develop the skills it takes to examine those lines closely and uncover the message that lies within them. Additionally, understanding song lyrics teaches you more about the people that created and performed that song. This subreddit is devoted to appreciating music.
