I think that it is all about how a young man takes a trip through hell and all of the things that he experiences there including feelings that he is having, things that are happening and other things of that sort, who really cares though, it's a great songs and will always be one of the classics.
This is actully a song about Freddie's struggle with aids. "Mamma... I killed a man" it's about him have sex with another man and transferring his HIV. He later says "momma I don't wanna die... Sometimes I wish I'd never been born" he's talking about how he doesn't want his life to end so abruptly from aids and that he wishes he weren't around to deal with what he's involved with. Pretty dark song when you truly listen to it.
I always interperted it as Henley and/or Glenn (the two writers) having a dream about dying and seemingly going to heaven. Then as time lapses it turns out that Henley/Glenn are in hell. The experience helps Henley/Glenn make better decisions to escape the fate (no pun intended).
It's a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America.

This song is about a woman who accumulates money, but finds out the hard way her life had no meaning and will not get her into heaven.
I did not write that, it was from songfacts. com
However, My belief:
Some believe its about satanism, and when reversed a highly disturbing message shows up.
The song was about Chester's past life of being abused sexually, his drug addiction as a teen, and his parents divorcing as a kid and how he broke the habit of that. The song speaks to me in so many ways which is why it's my favorite song, I love Linkin Park forever.
The song also has to do with commiting suicide. "Breaking The Habit" means he's going to kill himself, and the rest of the lyrics talk about the reasons why.
I love this song but Secret meaning? I think this song is pretty open about it being about him struggling with drug addiction.
Personally I think that this song is about letting go of childhood and growing up.
This is awesome! Completely changed my outlook on the song!
About Heroin addiction, And how it effects everyone you know.
Originally by NiN, But cash did it Better!
This is an awesome song that has a chorus riddle. "Four letters in two words. Words that mean the same. Funny how, funny how, ones in love and one is your name. "
I believe this refers to the words Lust and Slut because you Lust in "love" and slut is a reference to a person- "one's your name".
Many loved this piece of brilliant music, but no one really knew the TRUE meaning, taken from songfacts.com:
The song is about love which has soured and gone stale. Cohen used a lot of religious imagery, including references to some of the more notorious women in the bible. Here's some lyrical analysis:
"You saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you" - Bathsheba, who tempted the king to kill her husband so he could have her.
"She tied you to her kitchen chair, she broke your throne and she cut your hair" - Delilah, who cut off Sampson's locks that held his superhuman strength.
"But remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too" - This could be a reference to the divine conception and Mary.
The lines referring to the immaculate conception can also be interpreted as having a sexual connotation: "And every breath we drew was hallelujah. "
The song is about Cassandra (also known as as Alexandra) and the destruction of Troy - from Greek Mythology.
Stairway to heaven, hotel Cali, in the air tonight definitely have no secret meanings whatsoever, but this does, it's about drugs.
Some say its about the st valentines massacre, some believe its about drugs.
I personally thought it had something to do with AIDS and all the AIDS related deaths
Toke from songfacts.com:
I don't understand why the lyrics puzzle people - it's an obvious song of pure jealousy. The singer is the deceived husband and the person addressed in the verses is the other man. They know each other, but the other man hasn't admitted he's having an affair with the singer's wife. The singer has just found out. The chorus is a bit incongruous because it sounds like he's relishing the confrontation which is about to come. Perhaps he feels it will relieve the suffering. With this interpretation, there is a nasty vengeful edge to the lyrics which also comes through in Phil's song "Mama", although this time addressed to the unfaithful wife. Personally I find it a bit much to make a dramatic pop statement out of being a cuckold. It doesn't express the true degradation and dejection of such a situation and pretends to turn it into an egotistical triumph. Both "In The Air Tonight" and "Mama" chillingly remind me of the justifications given by men who murder either or both of the guilty parties in such situations, a cold enthusiasm for revenge having taken over their feelings rather than admit to being beaten.
yes, but; why is Stairway to Heaven here? Robert Plant said that they tried to make the song with great meaning, and some guys who were jealous of their great job reversed "for good" the song. He also said "our turnables only play music forward". The song is great, that backwards thing is a stupidity, so what the hell is doing here?
Sounds like an ode to Church, but Take Me to Church is actually a slap in the face to churches.
Pretty much any tøp song, actually. They mean something to different to everybody that hears them, but only Tyler Joseph knows the true meaning.
Basically saying that life is great, I kept trying hard now I'm one of the most successful rappers of all time. I regret the wrong things that I did, but I'll clean up my act.
the moral? No matter who keeps you down, who hates on you, whoever says you can't make it, YOU ARE A CHAMPION.
