There's more room for ambiguity of interpretation in music than more literal artforms (as was the crux of another fascinating bounty). People come away from songs with all sorts of messages, many personal to them.
How far d'you think we can take this?
Post an analysis of a song of your choice that goes super deep down any number of rabbit holes, and don't worry if they get a little weird as long as they maintain a vague grounding in reality. 'The staccato plucking technique in the chorus symbolises raindrops falling on the surface of Mars, sending a clear warning about space exploration.' That kind of thing.
Important: this isn't to mock those who take comfort or meaning from a personal interpretation of a song that may be a bit 'out there', but rather to celebrate the ability to form one.
Submit your analyses in video or written form, and the best eight - remember we're looking for extensive detail - will get $3 apiece!
