Honestly, I think everyone has one song that they go back to listen to just for the lyrics. Maybe it reminds you of a lover, a better time, or it reminds you of yourself. I have a couple of songs I listen to for a couple different reasons but I prefer to keep them to myself, that's what makes them all the more special. There is however one song I'd like to share. It's called Rubberball by Cage the Elephant.
Rubberball.
I have listened to this song several times and have read over they lyrics to many times to count. Which are;
Rolling around like a big rubber ball
Writing this song about some things that I saw
Trying to stand like a big strong tough man
Finding out fast that I'm sinking in sand
All I got is nothing but
A little bit of love and gonna
Give it to the people then they'll
See, then they'll see
Spinning the tops as the tables they turn
Made some mistakes but I still couldn't learn
Riding the tracks but I was fine
Got no self control now I'm back here in line
All I got is nothing but
A little bit of love and gonna
Give it to the people then they'll
See, then they'll see

You can interpret a song far differently then a lot of others may. To me this song is "I keep messing up, but I still got this love.. and I'm going to share it with everyone, and they'll see, I'm not what you think I am"
I feel like this song really helps me during days that I just want to give up. I don't know why exactly. It could be because it's nice to know that whoever composed this song knows how I feel from time to time, and that;s somewhat comforting. Makes sense in my mind.
