I've always wanted to post something like this. It's pretty fun to do this, you place a link to a song, give the lyrics, and you try and get people to figure it out. I'm very good at this, and then there is sometimes I'll just suck at figuring them out.
So, the rules of this little game is this:
1. After a song is given with lyrics and the song link (not necessary), people will try to figure the meaning.
2. After meanings are placed, the possible true meaning will be given by the person who started the song, and someone can start another. But, another can only be started if 4-8 guesses are presented, depending on the person posting the lyrics.
3. If someone gives a meaning that is really close, or even super close, the person who presented the song can state that it's right, and the next set will be presented by the next person, or the person who got the meaning almost right.
4. No cheating (Don't ask how this is possible, it is)
I noticed a post about "trees", so I'm gonna put the song "The Trees" by Rush. An old, but good song.
Clicky
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.
There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

K, go ahead.
