Phish - Joy

This is from their 2009 release, and is written about Trey's sister, Kristy Manning, who passed away earlier in the year. She did a lot of charity work and such through Phish and other outlets, actually leading Trey's The Seven Below Arts Endeavor and passed after a struggle with cancer.

Makes the song that much more moving, in my opinion.

Also, not too thinly veiled a hidden meaning, but:

Queen - Death On Two Legs (dedicated to......

The song is actually written by Mercury and "dedicated to" their former manager, Norman Sheffield, who was screwing them over horribly.

Let it Snow is the most blatant sex song I've ever heard. I don't know if that makes it a hidden meaning but it certainly is hidden to old ladies, and Christmas spirit people.

I don't know about that, they could be preparing for a rousing game of tiddlywinks.

As for hidden meanings, wasn't there this big thing about a lyric in "Another one Bites The Dust" by Queen that sounded like "It's fun to smoke Marijuana" when played backwards?
