Disgusting yet beautiful
« on: September 09, 2006, 03:35:31 AM »
We all know the songs. The lyrics are dark, disturbing, disgusting, putrid, and morbid, but they are handled by the lyricist with such skill beauty flows from them. It's a strange emotion, one only a true poet can pull off. Do you have any songs like this you particularly like? My personal favorite, Scream Of The Butterfly, written by Dax Riggs of Acid Bath which sends shivers down my spine and yet never manages to sound beautiful.

Ummm... does "Every Breath You Take" count? It's about stalking. That's a little weird.

Venus In Furs by The Velvet Underground also springs to mind.

How about "Can't Stand Losing"? He's threatening to kill himself so she'll feel guilty...

One Of My Turns by Pink Floyd. Would you like to watch TV? Or get between the sheets? Or contemplate the silent freeway? Would you like something to eat? Would you like to learn to fly? Would you like to see me try? Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Wait...

Why are you running away?

Yeah, what a muppet I am! I read the title - 'Disgusting But Beautiful' and then read 'we all know the songs'... and I thought, "well, I don't know any - I've never even heard of them"!!! Not my finest cerebral moment!!! LOL! ;D
