Popular (and not-so-popular) songs and what they're really about
Note: Some of these are completely ridiculous because I came up with many of them when I was a teenager. Also, not all of these were my idea. And I dislike most of these songs (but obviously not all of them because Rammstein gets a mention, as well as some other bands I like).
