What is the most disappointing song ever?

Asked by davidk (1432points) November 25th, 2009

Have you ever heard a song that felt sooo deep and meaningful…only to read the lyrics, and discover that you had attributed FAR more meaning to the words than the lyricist had intended?

I find that some musicians have a knack for generating a profound sounding song with lyrics that are actually quite shallow and meaningless.

For me: Viva la Vida by Coldplay is an example. The song is sheer genius, but, upon closer inspection, the real meaning is elusive. It is more about what a person hearing the song brings to it than anything else.
