Am I Over-Analyzing? Guys Who Send You Songs & Their Meaning
If a certain guy sends you songs with actual meanings, do you read the lyrics, think about the meaning, and analyze it OR do you just listen to the beat?Recently, this guy (that I've been majorly crushing on for almost 2 years now) sent me songs... most of them are in Mandarin because he's Taiwanese, but whenever he sends me a song, he sends a video in Mandarin that has Vietnamese subtitles because I'm Vietnamese. So being the crazy-analytic-me, I actually sit down (okay, I realize this is quite lame... but I just can't help it!) and analyze every single line of the lyric and try to figure out what this guy thinks of me.
"Is he trying to send me a message? Is he hinting something? Maybe he wants to secretly tell me something!"
Yes, call me crazy, call me insane, but I can't help thinking that maybe there's a reason why he sent ME the song. I mean I live in a dreamworld! Thinking about it though, no - he actually isn't trying to tell me anything. It's just some insanely good song that he wants to share.
Do you over-analyze everything like me? Or are you an anti-Freudian in thinking that certain things just happen without any real reason?

Neither. I take a balanced approach, like most sane humans.
Oh wait...
I mean, if he shows other signs of liking you, then maybe, but most likely, he just wants to share good music.
I over-analyze songs that guys send me, but not much else. Then again, most guys I talk to long enough for them to send me songs know that I am a fanatic about lyrics and that I analyze every word, so they're just throwing themselves under the bus if they don't mean anything about a song.
this website is very good, you can go and see it

i only over-analyze if i have a thing for the guy and get the feeling he may too, but otherwise, no.
I have a habit of doing this. It's easier for me to express myself through songs that I've come to love, rather than my own words. It's quite possible that he's doing the same thing.
You should ask him.My boyfriend and I used to send each other songs when we first started talking. We'd always send it and say something like 'this song reminds me of you' though. I don't know if I would have analyzed it the same if he hadn't said that. Probably since I overanalyze everything haha.
Nahh, I wouldn't say you're overanalyzing, however, it does depend on the guy: my ex-boyfriend does not give a flying rat about song lyrics, so when he sent me songs with romantic lines in them before we were dating, I pretty much discovered it had been a waste of time; however, this guy I had been interested in posted a song on Facebook related to "someone [he likes]," (it was "Animal" by the Neon Trees) and when I texted to tell him I'd just heard the song on the radio, he sent me a winking face back.
We naturally overanalyze things - girls and guys - so you could either wait it out and scope for more clues, or speak to him directly to figure it out once and for all.
Good luck!
i think he jus wants ur opinon on the song... guys are jus simple like that.
my bf loves a lot of acoustic meaningful songs and yes i over analyze things still, like oh is that how he feels, but sometimes i would tell him the meaning and he just says he really loves the acoustic sound and how the singers sound. Ugh. Idk i think im over analyzing as we speak but he has send me songs that are romantic and if he relates it to us he lets me know. We hear it together smile and we know.
This guy and I used to text back and forth, "Hotel California" line by line every day. There was never any cryptic meaning behind it, and sure, eventually we dated. But it was irrelevant to our mutual love of a badass, timeless classic.
He could be just trying to turn you onto some music he thinks you'll find interesting. I mean, just because I send a person a love song, doesn't mean I love them. It just means (to me) "Hey, this is a really cool song! You might like it."
Girls over-analyze everything, haha. I think some guys are oblivious to song meanings or lyrics. Some are much more aware than you'd expect. I'll be in the car with my boyfriend and we'll be talking with the radio on and he'll all the sudden say "Oh that's such a sad song!", when I had no idea he was listening at all. So who knows, but just enjoy the music, don't over analyze anything :)
i DEFiNiTELY 0VER-ANALYZE. i D0 iT F0R THE HECK 0F iT AND BECAUSE iT ACTUALLY MiGHT MEAN S0METHiNG. AND EVEN iF iT D0ESN'T MEAN ANYHiNG i STiLL HAVE FUN PRETENDiNG iT D0ES.
I find it endearing that chicks always are looking for the hidden meaning of things guy's say or do.
There is none.
I sent a funny cat video to my friend's girlfriend once. It made me laugh. When she saw it, she asked my friend what I thought of her or something. sheesh
95% of what guys do and say is surface content. We don't communicate through subtleties and double meanings.
Him taking the time to do that for you, thinking about you and sending you the tape suggests a lot...that's about it.
guys are too simple minded to do something like that. Either that, or he's just too shy to tell you his feelings himself. Do you want a guy like that?
Really, it all comes down to the type of person that guy is.
Haha, this reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAV8eQdP788
When someone sends me a song, I listen to it and either go, "Oh hey, is is AWESOME!" or "LOL your taste in music SUCKS."
@testyman666@xanga -
Him taking the time to do that for you, thinking about you and sending you the tape suggests a lot...that's about it.True
@xa06@xanga - Ha... I was just about to post that video too.
I've over-analyzed songs before. ^^
lol i do look at the lyrics! sometimes i think there is a reason they send certain songs
Guys aren't nearly that subtle.
I overanalyze when I like the guy.. if I don't, I don't even pay attention to the lyrics. Its funny how that goes, its not like I mean to be that way :}
I haven't analyzed lyrics. usually guys just tell me that they like me or give big hints by asking me if I miss them, and then send songs to me, so I don't have to guess the subliminal messages
I've analyzed the lyrics, wondering if he was sending me a message. Boy was I ever wrong! I'm learning, very slowly, to let what they say go in one ear and out the other. "Wanna get dinner" pretty much means nothing more than "I am hungry". "Wanna fuck" means he wants sex. "Listen to this song" means he likes the song, not necessarily you.
i've been told when guys send songs, they usually mean something and are trying to send you a message. so you're prolly on the right track, but i wouldn't read too much into it. just enjoy the music. :)
