I always have fun dissecting messages in song lyrics, so I thought it would be fun to make a game out of it.
Here's how it'll work. I'll be choosing one song every other day for anyone who wants to dissect the lyrics to dissect them. When you're done, just reply to this thread. I'll be posting song lyrics (with a link or video to the song) from a wide variety of genres. For every song you dissect, you gain a single point. You'll also gain an additional point for being metaphoric, and descriptive in your dissection. Describing what the lyrics mean is very important!
Remember!!! The game is to dissect the entire song, not just give an overview of what the song is supposed to mean. If you're confused what I mean, take a look at Rap Genius.
You can format your posts in whatever way you'd like. Whether it be line for line, or verse for verse.
If you want to be part of the game, just dissect the message in the lyrics at the very bottom of this post, hidden in the spoiler tag, and I'll add you to the list of participants.
Participants (and points):
none :(
The opening song for the song meaning game will be simple. It'll be Katy Perry - Roar.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...
