Yeah, the chorus is pretty much the reason people use it, and of course, the only part we remember when it comes to songs. But when the rest of the song doesn't work quite as well, it's like finding a piece of a puzzle that wasn't supposed to fit, but somehow does... and then the rest of the puzzle falls apart, 'cause that piece was actually meant for something else. And that analogy makes no sense.
I still feels kinda weird though. I have my meaning and then I have the other meaning besides it, and it's kind of jarring. For a book example, I've always believed that one of my all-time favorite books, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 was a powerful message about censorship. But nope! Word of God says it's about the evils of television and technology making people not care about books anymore. Which, imo, makes it sound cliched and shallow and anvilicious, unlike the censorship interpretation, which did make me care about the future of books (which I already did before, but Fahrenheit 451 elaborates on my feelings). Heck, Bradbury stormed out of a classroom 'cause readers were convinced it was still about censorship. And to be honest... I'm with the students. I'm just a little afraid to read the book again because I want to read about it with my interpretation in peace, Death of the Author and all, rather than have Bradbury breathe down my neck about what the book's actually about. :/
