I've heard of people playing that at their weddings. I don't think they realize what it's about.

“Every Breath You Take” is, to this day, still perceived to be a love song. However, the lyrics are actually spoken from a character with sinister intent. During the time Sting wrote this song, he had just divorced his first wife, Frances Tomelty. While his intention may have been to write a sweet, emotional love song from the beginning, he was soon realizing that he was entering into a dark place that fought for control and surveillance. Being in the midst of the Cold War, at that time, did not help the situation.

After having read him, I'm comfortable that my takeaway is accurate enough to fit.

But yes. The song is very much not love. Haven't heard it at a wedding, heheh!

If you think it's about love, it's about love.

Dave Grohl: “That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.”

I read on TVTropes that Semi-Charmed Life was used in a trailer for The Tigger Movie. I can only assume that they didn't actually read the lyrics.

Well yes. Music is magic. That takeaway though, it would lead me to really want to take a hard look at either that person's attention to the lyrics or to their understanding of love. One of them is fine, the other is largely personally incompatible.

Stop looking at people for the sole intent of judging how they interpret subjective media.

I was out sightseeing and just got back.'

RANT: I have been accused of not noticing something before I had any opportunity to notice it, so now I can't honestly say if i would have noticed it or not.

I was bribed.

But then the perpetrator did not fulfill the bribe.

In the wise words of @Timsup2nothin: "Not without my lawyer present."
