At what age did you first understand the meaning of song lyrics?

I cannot listen to music without hearing the lyrics. To me, it is as important as the song, and I have a tendency to argue with it.

I still have to look them up

When I was about 6-10, my mom told me the meaning behind My Immortal, does that count?

I don't need to read lyrics to know what they mean in today's music.

"I've just met you, but some how I am in love with you", and stupid music like that. I think the music industry is more so going for the female state of mind nowadays, there is more music out that they would like.

I can't remember how old I was but there were two songs that really caught my attention. First one is Working Class Hero by John Lennon, the other one is The God That Failed by Metallica.

I don't listen to much music with "deep" meanings, nor did I ever.

I don't know, but that is a good question.

I am still discovering meanings to songs I have been listening to for the longest time :)

To be honest, I still don't. The majority of lyrics go over my head. As an example, I thought "Just" by Radiohead was about a suicidal girlfriend for the longest time, rather than about a child smoking.

The first song I remember understanding completely was "Roll On" by Sneaker Pimps, but it's not exactly hard to work out what naughty thing it's about, so I don't get any credit there.
