To understand the meaning of the songs, firstly, you need to look for it where it is. Secondly, you need to listen carefully to the song, maybe not only with your ears, but also with your heart. And thirdly, if the song is in a foreign language, you need to translate it into your native language.

Step 1
It would seem that such simple recommendations … But they are not applicable to every song with the same simplicity. It happens that in order to understand a song, to reveal its whole meaning, you need to live a whole life, with all its difficulties, experience all its hardships and joys, find out what true love, friendship, betrayal and much, much more are. After all, it is experience that gives us such an opportunity. By identifying ourselves with the main character of the song, we accept and understand its meaning. It's almost the same as with a good book or movie that makes us empathize, compassion, cry and laugh along with its characters. Therefore, you should not dig deeply into pop songs flowing like a river from radio receivers, but rather look for the meaning among old songs of the Soviet era, old romances, songs from your favorite films.
Step 2
Perhaps it is the combination of soul-touching music and deep poetry that gives rise to such a song, the meaning of which will be revealed differently each time, depending on the state of mind of the listener. You need to learn to perceive a good song not only by ear, but also to pass it through your heart. Listen carefully to the words, try to memorize them and hum them from time to time. The song will turn to you with its different facets, then the melody, then the rhythm of the verse. If you try to transfer it to another melody, it will be a completely different song, in which it seems to be about the same, but in a different way.
Step 3
If you like a song in a foreign language, and you do not understand a word, but you like it so much that by all means you want to know what it is sung about, be patient, arm yourself with a dictionary and some technical device, which would allow you to repeatedly scroll through individual lines of a song. A simple computer with Internet access is quite suitable for this, in the vastness of which you can find almost any song, and even in different arrangements, which also sometimes changes the shades of the meaning of the penalty. Different performers have different pronunciation, so some of them will sing more legibly, while others, on the contrary, will sing less. Listen to the song over and over again and record what you hear. It is assumed that you know at least the basic basics of a foreign language in which you listen to this song. Skip the difficult parts in order to return to them later, and if you cannot cope with their translation yourself, contact more experienced people.
