‘Higher’ – Creed
In 1999, Creed’s “Higher” became one of the band’s biggest hits and later became Creed’s signature song. While many happily sang along to the anthem, there was some debate over it’s true meaning. The song was released around post-grunge rock era, and while some believed the song was emblematic of a drug-induced high, others thought it was a song about Creed’s belief in Christianity. Well it was actually neither, and the lead singer Scott Stapp later explained the song centered around the concept of lucid dreaming. Well, we would have never have guessed!

‘Buddy Holly’ – Weezer
When fans first listened to Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’, they might have easily assumed that it was about Buddy Holly. However it wasn’t about Buddy at all. If you listene closer to the lyrics like “You know I’m yours/and I know you’re mine/and that’s for all time,”, you might assume that it was a romantic love song. Nonetheless, the lead singer Rivers Cuomo cleared it all up for us. In fact it’s not about a romantic relationship, “It’s about a particular girl I knew; … it’s about my commitment to her, … my willingness to defend her. It’s very platonic. Not a romantic thing at all.” Ok buty we were still hoping it would turn into a love story…
