Think of today's songs. Are there any songs you know with a double or hidden meaning/message and are there still any protest songs?

We think almost every song comes with a hidden message, because the slavery holders might not know what the song was about, because they sing about freedom and all that kind of stuff. So the slaves are smart enough to sing about what they want. We don't think anybody sings a protest song, but one rugby team still has an old song, it's called 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot'

One of the songs I know with a double meaning is "Harder to Breath" by Maroon5. At first it seems like the song is about an ex-girlfriend, but this song is actually based on a different kind of suffocating relationship, the relationship between Maroon5 and the pressure of the music company. There are well know protest songs by Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye, but one of the more new protest songs is by Beyonce in the song Fomation, where she protest the position of black Americans in today's society.

We think that the song ‘I can’t feel my face’ from The Weeknd has a hidden meaning. If you hear it you think that it’s about love and a special girl, but actually it’s about drugs. The title ‘I Can’t Feel My Face’ is actually about that he literally cannot feel his face when has taken drugs. It’s pretty weird that everybody sings this song with so much happiness, but no one knows about the dark side of the song. We think there are still protest songs being made. A good and popular protest song is the song Formation from Beyoncé. Also Eminem released the song ‘Campaign Speech’. This song is an attack against Donald Trump for being the new president. He raps about how money made Donald Trump president.

we think almost every song has a hidden message. people can share their feelings by singing songs and almost everyone has hidden messages that they want to share but they are afraid to share it in public so they write a song about it. by singing they can share their feelings about something hidden in a beautiful/modern song and everybody likes it and sings it,but they don't know their is a hidden message in the song.

The national anthem of France is a great example. The workers were not happy so they protested against the French government. The marseillaise was their protest song.
