Backmasking and reverse speech

In my opinion, backmasking and speech reverse are two completely controversial ideas. Backmasking is simply playing a message backwards that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking does not require any knowledge or purpose because if you play anything backwards it is backmasking.This idea is good and all but the hidden message is never intentional  in his context, unlike reverse speech.
The idea of reverse speech is the same type of idea that; subconsciously, humans speak in a forward manner but the language is bi-level and contains a second message when reversed. Reverse speech implies that humans have a greater understanding of theses words and how they sound in reverse in order to portray some hidden idea or concept. This is brought up in many conspiracies and debates about such things. This concept is harder to follow or understand than backmasking because there is so much more to it.
    There are many accusations of backmasking and reverse speech in songs that allude to satin. This includes “break on through” by The Doors that originally says “ treasure’s there” which in reverse says “I am Satan”. This is interesting because the original song has nothing to do with satan and that is why one could ponder that it is a secret hidden message. I can hear the reverse clearly which doesn't completely sway my opinion but  one could think it is more so than others that you can hardly make out what is supposedly being said such as in Lady Gaga’s song “Paparazzi”  which I can hardly tell what is being said but it is supposed to say (reversed) “Evil save us! These stars above, above... we model it on the arts of Lucifer.” I do not agree that this is backmasking because the words are not coherent enough to tell. An example i really appreciated was Hotel California because I personally know this song well and the eagles supposedly had the hidden message of “ Satan he hears this. He had me believe in him.” which seems so peculiar to me. This reverse along with the one for “Paparzzi” were hard to figure out.
