Songs that became prophetic
Lucky by Britney Spears is nowadays almost always called prophetic.
Lost in an image, in a dream But there's no one there to wake her up And her world is spinning, and she keeps on winning But tell me what happens when it stops? [Chorus] She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night Sad and scary how real it became. Can anyone think of any others? |

Party Over by Amelia Lily. It's her last single, it peaked at #40 and it led to the album being postponed (possibly cancelled). Hopefully she'll manage to turn things around, because it's not the best song to end on:
So it's over, wishing the stars won't fade tonight Hold me closer, tomorrow's another day to find I said it once, and I'll say it again Oh you know, you know I got a feeling that this is the end Oh nooo Tell me is the party over, over over, yeah Is the party over, over over, yeah Tell me is the party over, over over, yeah Is the party over, over over, yeah Are we getting colder, colder, yeah |

Madonna's Miles away is about distant her and guy ritchie have become. About 5/6 months later after Hard Candy came out, her and Guy officially divorced. Quite a number of songs when listened to carefully are lyrically about a relationship slowly coming to an end. In some way Hard candy is her pre-divorce album.

Britney is the queen of musical prophecies:
Mona Lisa (recorded before her breakdown):
Spoiler
Then Rebellion (also before her breakdown):
Spoiler
Both songs were rumoured to be included on her scrapped album Original Doll. I find them both very mysterious to say the least. |

I was thinking Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'
Or in a grander way, Bob Dylan 's 'The Times a They Are a-Changing'! |

There's a place I know, Where the kids all go, Put our best drag on, Party all night long, There's a welcome at the door, Once your in get on the floor, Just the scene you're looking for, I been there a million times or more, Come On Come In Get On, |

The lyrics to Rihanna's songs Good girl gone bad are true in small ways of what happened to her. She recorded the song way before she got with Chris Brown
But when he attacked her two years after recording it, Rihanna didn't just change as an artist, many say she changed as a person. She became a good girl gone bad. The chorus it's self suggests to how she has become as well Easy for a good girl to go bad And once we gone (gone) Best believe we've gone forever Don't be the reason Don't be the reason You better learn how to treat us right 'Cause once a good girl goes bad We die forever The song also details how Rihanna finds out her man has been sleeping with other women, and reports suggest that the night she was attacked was over an argument on when Rihanna confronted him over her fears of him being unfaithful. |

No-one's said the obvious yet
Amy Winehouse, Rehab. It started as a bit of a joke that Amy was in on, then her own addictions took over, then when she died it became almost creepy & I noticed in the aftermath of her death it wasnt really played at all, having taken on a macarbre tone I dont see why it cant be re-habilitated, at the time she wrote it she was not mired in drug or alcohol addiction, it was clearly meant light heartedly. If anything the song has an ironic interpretation, if someone tells you to go to rehab the answer should be "yes, Yes, Yes" |

Two come to my mind but not quite in the same way as in the OP
Queen - Thank God its Christmas - the lyrics are about a hard year and strange times and how Christmas will make things better - Freddie died in November so I always feel sad when I hear that song as a result - he never got that last Christmas. Coldplay - Viva LA Vida - coz of when it was released just before the big crash it makes me think of all the people who would've lost jobs businesses pensions etc |

Rihanna - Breaking Dishes
Released before her fight with Chris Brown, it is painfully ironic. It tells a tale of her waiting at home while her man is out somewhere, and she's sick and tired of him leaving the house, and wonders if he's cheating on her. She says that when he comes home she's going to throw dishes and all sorts, and eventually she is going to FIGHT A MAN. Oh Rihanna, if only you knew what was coming ![]() He been gone since 3.30 (3.30) Been coming home lately at 3.30 (3.30) I'm super cool, I've been a fool But now I'm hot and baby you're gonna get it Now I ain't trippin', I, I ain't twisted I ain't demented, well just a little bit (huh) I'm kicking ass, I'm taking names I'm on a flame, don't come home babe [CHORUS] I'm breakin' dishes up in here All night (uh huh) I ain't gonna stop until I see police lights (uh huh) I'm a fight a man (tonight) I'm a fight a man (tonight) I'm a fight a man A man, on a m-a-a-a-aan A man, a man, on a m-a-a-a-aan Oh -- Azealia Banks - 212 Ever read the lyrics to the bridge of 212 by infamously twitter-angry Azealia Banks? The rapper who single-handedly ruined her own career before it even began by being a homophobic, racist, vile little bitch, who calls people faggots and tells women that their children are ugly? She had so much potential, her music is actually quite decent, and she was tipped for the top, but ruined it by being too big for her boots. Now look at this extract from 212: A-yo, A-yo, I heard you ridin' with the same tall, tall tale Tellin' em you made some Sayin' you runnin' but you ain't goin' no where Why you procrastinate girl? You got a lot but you just waste all yourself They'll forget your name soon And won't nobody be to blame but yourself, yeah She's basically telling some girl that she is too arrogant, that she has potential, but is going to ruin herself, and nobody will be to blame but herself. OH AZEALIA YOU UTTER ****. |

Not a song but here's a rock 'n roll prophesy that turned out to be true- straight from the horses mouth:
3:35 onwards. Creepy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ6PxuhnGUg |

Otis Redding. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay."
Then he fell in... Actually his plane crashed into the lake and the only survivor was a non-swimmer. |

I found Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody prophetic. The lyric "Goodbye Everybody, I've gotta go, Gotta leave you all behind to face the truth" was as though he was singing about having to die so that the rest of us could find out the truth about Aids.
Take That's 'Never Forget' containing the lines 'We're not invincible, we're only people' released not long before Robbie Williams left the band. |
