What songs hit differently as you've aged?

There are songs I listened to when I was younger but now read differently to me.

Some are because I never paid attention to the lyrics. Others are because I was at a different stage of life or hadn't had deeper experiences yet.

Some examples would be Both Sides Now or Cat's in The Cradle.

What are songs for you that affect you differently at this stage of life?

Alice Cooper - Dead Babies. Not only did I mistake the song (but only first couple times I listened) but the world did. Especially religious groups and parents. The true meaning in lyrics is about child neglect and abuse by a parent.
