"Standard examples" is a better term. For it to be a subversion, the song would have to be initially set up to be the standard love song, then go in another direction.

* "Andzia" by the Polish band Oddział Zamknięty. This is ostensibly a love song about a girl the singer "can no longer live without". In reality, this is a way of GettingCrapPastTheRadar - while "Andzia" is a girl's name, it also sounds very much like "gandzia" (pronounced similar to "ganja"), i.e. cannabis. The song, in reality, is about a man's enjoyment/addiction to marijuana.
