Uncle Kracker - Follow me. I used to sing the shit out of it, because I just liked the tune. Until I learn there was a whole different meaning than just "I'm the better guy" lyrics.
I still humm it, but it hits differently.

I remember listening to Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown when I was a kid, not knowing English at all. Great song but very inappropriate for kids, which my parents probably thought was funny.
Running to the Sea - Royksopp. Now that I know it's about some sort of terrorist attack, I just feel weird listening to it now
I liked Poor Leno though
the two Who rock operas are chock full of stuff that went over my head because i heard them when i was younger than i probably should have been. in this case the songs are written from character POVs so i wouldn't say they make me think less of the band because of the content, but jeez, 10 year old me never would've figured Love Reign O'er Me for example was about a suicide attempt as opposed to, you know, feeling loved
5 minutes alone by pantera, I mean come on...
Despacito. Kinda weird lyrics.
Nuttin No Go So
The original "football moves" clip went viral a long time ago, and the song goes along well with it. Took me a while to understand just how awfully reactionary the lyrics are.
Not so much found out about but songs that didn't used to bother me now kind of bother me. I was a very big Stone Temple Pilots fan, Even though the rhythms slap the songs are a little too rapey these days for my taste.
