Sometimes learning the meanings of songs ruins them for me. The biggest example of this was the song "Unwell" by Matchbox Twenty. I used to get all emotional about it and it was "my song" because I thought it was about living with mental illnesses. Then I watched Pop-Up Video on VH1 and learned the true meaning: it's actually about drugs. Now it has completely lost its impact on me and I can't listen to it the same way again.
Has anyone ever ruined a certain song for you?
