Have you ever misunderstood the meaning of a song? [View all]

Have you ever heard a song many times while growing up, then heard it again when you're an adult and realized
for all those years you misinterpreted the meaning of the song? I heard Bread's, "Everything I Owned," this morning and it finally dawned on me it was about a person mourning the loss of a parent, not a romantic partner.

I was watching a video, that features a musical artist listening to music from previous generations, that he'd never heard before. When the opening lyrics played about being sheltered from harm, and,"you gave my life to me," I said to myself damn it's about a parent. Then when the video host broke in, for his first comment on the song he said right away, it's about the loss of a parent. I was like damn how did I not pick up on that long before now?
