Can it be in the lyrics?

Can it be in the lyrics?

Sure.

 

[Grondhammar]

I just can't get over this one.

I thought it'd just be silly, but that was well-crafted, and funny, and sad, all at the same time.

I've been listening to Fiona Apple and these come to mind.

1. Werewolf
And I could liken you to a shark
The way you bit off my head
But then again, I was waving around a bleeding open wound

2. Every Single Night
Every single night
I endure the flight
Of little wings of white-flamed
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine
Percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
That's where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in

3. Hot Knife
If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a CinemaScope screen
Showing a dancing bird of paradise

4. Daredevil
Seek me out
Look at, look at, look at, look at me
I'm all the fishes in the sea
Wake me up
Give me, give me, give me what you got
In your mind, in the middle of the night

5. Parting Gift
I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once, more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
