The point is not that you make these associations but that you assume, if you do, that everyone else does or should. I have no problem except when you try to force others to hear the same or expect them to. Music is sound and since it is ambiguous there is potential for "confusion" with other sounds. This does not mean every other human being will associate the same things with the same sounds.
The point is that when someone demeans another because they don't hear the same thing then its wrong and thats all. Let each person hear what they want. Also, who gives that person the absolute ability to determine what music is "saying" and if someone else feels something different then they must be wrong or unsophisticated or a savage?
I feel that if your listening to music trying to find the story in it then you have no clue what music is about and have no clue how to enjoy it. (well, you are enjoying it in your own way I guess but it is a non-musical way and IMO contradictory)
