I donno I just want to play songs that have some clever meaning to them, you know like some songs talk about the end of the world and what problems people have, not why eveybody is not hot yet the person doesn't really have a good reason for why he's hot...And don't be stupid, songs with the same meaning as Cigaro bySOADdon't count(yet they do have some good meanig songs)...

I guess I'll just do what I do in every music recommendation thread and point you in the direction of my sig.

I'd say all of their songs fit your criteria...but I suppose you can find meaning in just about anything if you listen to it enough :P

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. He wrote it in memory of his son who fell from an apartment window and died. I know that it has real meaning in it.

"Good song meaning" is subjective. I may find something meaningful that you don't.

If you want something about the problems people have and the world ending, go seek out Pain of Salvation's discography. You'll probably really dig them.

Go explore music. What's "meaningful" to me or someone else may not be "meaningful" to you. It's always better, anyways, when you discover good music for yourself instead of having someone else hand-feed it to you like you're asking here.

The God That Failed-Metallica, its about James Hetfield's religion earlier in his life, which was like Scientific Christianity or something.

"Stinkfist" by Tool :D

Ok try "Schism" by the same band. Or "Weak and Powerless" by A Perfect Circle (seeing a pattern here?).

All of Runrig's music is meaningful to me, but it probably wouldn't hold the same value to you.

i never know a song that is about america and how it likes to boss everyone becouse we think ours is bigger is trying to be funny. But i guess alll you little kids cant look past that one word can you guys. well heres the best part, if you dont see the meaning in it your a fool. CIGARO LYRICS.

We're the regulators that de-regulate
We're the animators that de-animate
We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources, then we turn and hide

The Beatles. They have so many different mesages. Some of them are about escaping (Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields), some deal with spiritual themes (Tommorow Never Knows, Within You Without You), and some are just plays on words creating double meanings (Martha My Dear sounds like it's a song about a girl, but it's actually Paul talking to his dog).

The final 3 songs on Still Searching by Senses Fail. Well up every time I listen.

In order, I think they're: All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues, Negative Space, and The Priest and the Matador. Give it a shot, anyways, have to enjoy a bit of emo-core or whatever it's called this week.

Since nobody is really following the thread topic (post songs and the meanings) and instead there just posting there fav. songs I will put one. The sons name is Masturbates by Mindless Self-Indulgence. The meaning is pretty, ummm, straightforward; but a deeper look into the song indicates that wanking is great and stuff, but no as good as the real thing.... lol

My Hero by the Foo Fighters, I'm not crazy about this band but that is a good song. I think it is about Kurt Cobain I'm not sure though, I heard that somewhere.

Porcupine Tree - A Smart Kid.

Love that song, and the meaning is pretty open for anyone. A warning? Or a symbol for ignorance?

Barbie Girl by Aqua.

If you don't get innuendo, it's about barbie dolls and sh*t.

The real meaning of the song is about sex.

Even id he ws just trying to be funny he is right,

"my cock is much bigger than yours" is on about how America think that they are the best ans have to show off to show it.

"We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources, then we turn and hide " well just read.

Alot of the Systems songs have meanings, just listen to the songs

"Attack","Boom!", "Deer Dance", "Dreaming", "Holy Mountains", "Soldier Side", "Soldier Side Intro", "Tentative"

or read the lyrics

Billy Joel - Piano Man...just listen to it and think about it. Its such a great songchicknfeet

This man speaks the truth. A lot of Billy Joel's songs have real meaning.

Also, see Johnny Cash. Quite a bit of his stuff has real meaning.

A lot of Eminem's songs have real meaning also.

A few of Avenged Sevenfold's songs have to do with the war in Iraq right now.

Megadeth's songs are mostly political and real world dealings like Kick The Chair.

Nine Inch Nails is also pretty political.

A lot of P.O.D.'s songs are about how screwed up our world is.

A lot of Bon Jovi's old stuff has some real meaning.

Darren Haye's solo albums are mostly about popularity and the limelight and how overrated it is and how much people take it for granted, he also has some political stuff. Some examples of his stuff, "I was walking through the city
Past a phone shop and a homeless man
Was lying there looked almost dead
And no one seemed to bother
"

and "The President who f****d the world, For every future boy and girl
Is golfing in Aruba
With a suntan and scuba
"

Senses Fail has real meaning also, and these are just a few bands/artists.
