One of my favorite things in music is when one band answers another band song for example:

Nirvana's "Come As You Are": "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late."
&
Blink-182's "Adam's Song": "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough."

Got any others?
