WRT cannonical song interpretations: I think this is just a product of songs being about moods and vibes more than what they're actually literally about, so everything is filtered through brevity and poetry and the desire to make the pretty sounds rather than anything else. I try very hard to not think about other people's reads on songs because "person who has read of my fav songs as being [socially or politically inappropriate] attacks me for it" is a long-standing nightmare.
