Today, I bought one of my favorite albums from when I was growing up. When I looked at the liner notes, I learned that my favorite song on the album wasn't about taking a bath, but about going to a brothel. My second-favorite isn't about moving, but about suicide. My childhood just shattered. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my favorite song since I was a small child is actually about anal sex and delaying an orgasm. FML
Today, I found out that my favorite song is about blow jobs and crystal meth. FML
Today, I discovered that one of my favourite, relatable sad songs is actually a song about gay sex. FML
Today, I've been trying to find and revisit a song that my dad listened to all the time when I was a kid, and I finally found it. Except now I'm old enough to realize the lyrics are about a psychotic man who gets put in a "home" for things I cannot put in here. FML
Today, while taking a shower, I was enthusiastically singing one of my favorite songs. When I got out, I noticed a bunch of things missing, and a note on my desk, saying, "Shut the fuck up, you suck." I was robbed and judged by a thief. FML
Today, I was getting ready, when I heard my dad in the shower. He was singing along to the song "The Wheel in the Sky" by Journey, except he'd changed the lyrics and was singing, "The dick on this guy needs a rubbin'." It turns out my mom was in the shower with him. FML
Today, my favorite band from my teenage years was played on an oldies station on the car radio. To make matters worse, my sixteen year-old niece who was in the car, had never heard of them. I’m only 31, but damn, I feel old. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth and shaving in the shower. My favorite song came on, and I got mixed up. My tongue and mouth are cut badly now. FML
Today, my mom laughed about hearing me singing in the shower and told our whole family. I wasn't singing, though. I was masturbating. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote a song for me. As he was singing it to me I realized it was actually a breakup song. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Since the username says “nilssonfan”, I’m gonna guess she means “Bath” and “Without You” by Harry Nilsson.

Your childhood did not shatter. Your childhood is in the past. Now you're a big girl and you can deal with adult topics. STFU.

I found out recently that 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' is about a guy telling a girl he loves her just to get in her pants... All those years i thought it was about baseball :D

This is why I stopped looking up song lyrics and trying to figure out the meaning of songs. I can't listen to them the same way again. Then again, most of the new songs I listen to just sound like gobbledy-gook on the outside, so I would actually have to spend time looking up a bunch of information just to figure it all out. Reminds me of Rocko's Modern Life. It was great when I was a kid, but now when I watch it I just laugh harder because of all the adult jokes in it that I didn't notice before.
