9 Popular Songs With Disturbing Implications You Never Noticed

According to one chirpy 90s hit, we're all going to die alone.

Every breath you take... every move you make... I'll be watching you. Wait a minute... We're probably all guilty of singing along to the above lyrics then pausing while the mental cogs become unstuck.Because The Police's supposedly classic love song is actually as creepy as hell. To be fair though, it's not all that difficult to listen to a song and not process the lyrics. Sometimes we're more interested in the tune or vocal melody than what's actually being said, and that's not to mention the fact that sometimes lyrics are difficult to decipher without context.

But while everyone knows that The Police wrote that one song about being a stalker, there are quite a few less well-documented examples of songs with bizarre and often haunting undertones.

Whether it's 90s band Hanson struggling desperately not to die alone or The Beatles romanticizing arson, there are all kinds of disturbing implications hiding directly in plain sight...
