Southend, Essex

Damaged is a cover by plummet. The song was written by a US Christian Rock band and Singer of the same name Plumb.

The song is about dealing with themes of emotional pain and healing from past abuse. When I was younger I thought it was a love song.

It reached number 1 in the UK.

What other songs are commonly have their meaning mistaken for something else?

Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits Convinced hes a dogger in his spare time.

Every time you come around you know I can’t say no

Every time the sun goes down I let you take control

I can feel the paradise before my world implodes

and tonight had something wonderful

My bad habits lead to late nights ending alone

Conversations with a stranger I barely know

Swearing this will be the last, but it probably won’t

I’ve got nothing left to lose, or use, or do

My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space

And I know I lose control of the things that I say

I was looking for a way out, now I can’t escape

Nothing happens after two

It’s true it’s true

My bad habits lead to you

Ghost town - the Specials.

It's not a Halloween song about ghosts.

It's a song about the decay of British towns in the early 1980's under Margaret Thatcher

Funky Moped, Jasper Carrot. It's not about deliveroo work.

It's about chasing girls.

Ernie by Benny Hill, not about premium bonds It's about fighting over a woman.

I feel love by Donner Summer, it's not about flower power, it's about orgasms.

Tove Lo - Habits

It's not about swinging, even though it mentions sex clubs. It's about a women who tries to keep high by going to sex clubs to forget an ex.

I mean technically it is a love song, depending how you look at it. People use it as their wedding song (no joke).

Diamonds Are Forever.

Thought to be an ode to gemstones, but it's actually about willies. The Bond producers only heard the song when it was too late to change it, immediately figuring out the hidden meaning.

They were furious!!

Nothing like a song about flirting with an ex behind your partners back to exhibit love for your spouse more 😂

I’m led to believe that Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” is actually about giving head. The lyrics are seen in quite a different light if it’s true

However there is potentially a love still between the "singer" and the ex partner. Could be lust (well there is a lust), but it can also be interpreted as love (with no actual evidence otherwise).

The song was written as the obvious, but depending on the perspective the meaning can change. Regardless of the subject of cheating itself, that doesn't mean love is not present between the "cheating" party.
