Welke teksten vonden jullie beklemmend, ongemakkelijk, onprettig? Dit kan ook in combinatie met de muziek zelf, is meestal ook gewenst natuurlijk.

Ik vond persoonlijk dit een fragment waar ik een vrij slecht gevoel van kreeg:
"I've got a lot of reasons why I'd like to be alive, but always waking up alone just makes me want to die" (Sophia - Ship in the Sand).

En er zijn vast nog wel meer fragmenten of regels waar ik me ongemakkelijk door voelde, maar die zijn voor de volgende keer.
(Ik weet nog wel dat ik als 13 jarig jongetje American Idiot zo donkere teksten vond hebben. xD)

Die van Sophia is prachtig... maar vooral ontzettend verdrietig.

Patrick Wolf - The Childcatcher vind ik pas echt ongemakkelijk. Hij het gaat over dat ie misbruikt wordt op jonge leeftijd en hij zingt zowel de stem van zichzelf als van de misbruiker als van zijn moeder Vrij morbide werkje en alhoewel ik het een geweldig nummer vind, skip ik hem ook wel vaak omdat het iets *te* heftig is.

"I was still a child when you caught me and tied me to your bed
you gave me shoes and pretty clothes,
and i gave you what i had between my legs
Just a rite of passage, you held me down and said
"I'm gonna be your right of passage,
so boy you better spread, spread em"

You said..
"run run run as fast as you can
but you cant run run from the childcatchers hands"

I wrote your name in my shit across the town
to warn the kids of your bloodshed
when i chased you with a burning cross,
my mother she wanted you dead

she said
"run run run as fast as you can
but you cant run run from our law given hand"

you said
"well i've got no time for victims and i don't think it was all that bad
and if you can't run to save yourself well then you deserve to be had
this is the age of constipation, this is the age of martyrdom
I think you even enjoyed it, I think I even saw you come"

Ah, Childcatcher kan ik niet vaak genoeg op repeat horen Wel erg heftig inderdaad. Ikzelf vind Walnut house van Xiu Xiu wel ehh heel erg heftig, vooral in combinatie met de muziek en de manier waarop de tekst gebracht wordt maakt het heftig.
think about it before you spray paint "don't worry mom"
on the dumpster of the nursing home they have as many
eyes as a pineapple
I am the dumbest bitch on the planet
on the second floor landing sweating buckets
my arm pits are like black moons shaking at the end of
a cord my leather daddy dancing very near
like a sweetheart would
hurting my butthole like a sweetheart would
oh, oh it's a little titmouse
ah, ah little chickadee
oh, ooh it's little ruddy duck
don't worry mom

and if I will you closer
can you feel the presence of my thoughts
and you don’t say much now
but what you say just tears
yeah tears my world apart
and are you waiting
are you waiting for the end before it begins
and are you waiting
are you waiting for the end

Deze vond ik ook ongemakkelijk, uit I Left You van Sophia.

Sophia heeft inderdaad veel van die teksten die je koude rillingen kunnen bezorgen vind ik...

Sommige teksten van slayer zijn echt moeilijk. In combinatie met de snelheid slaat je tong na 1 zin steeds in de knoop.

Probeer zelf maar, ik heb het echt al opgegeven. Zo snel kan ik echt niet zonder een woord te missen.




You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say

Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away

For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt at amnesty
He will decide who lives and dies
Depopulate Satanas rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy

[LEAD: KING]

Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way

[LEAD: HANNEMAN]

Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way

[LEAD: KING]

Kate Bush - The Infant Kiss

Ik werd erg ongemakkelijk van de teksten van Mudvayne op "Lost And Found", nooit gedacht.

Hieronder de expliciet pedofiele tekst van Denver Max, the Salesman van Blood Brothers:

Through the screen door your thoughts are quarentined,
By the way you smell I can tell that youre fifteen.
My name is denver max, I eat heart attacks.
From your mouth to your hands to the floor youre bubbling syntax.
What the crickets see is between you and me.
What scarecrows think would turn you pale cheek pink.
Dont you try to call the cops little girl
Because before you pics up the phone youll be dead.
Dont you try to call the cops little girl, cops little girl,
Your tounge is withered its heavier than lead.
Wont you just step into the car little girl,
Your parents dont understand whats in your head.
Were really onto something special little girl,
Youre blushing red,
Youre head cant hide those thoughts of dread.
Through the screen door kiss me kiss me like a queen...
It tastes like metal in my mouth like rusty listerine.
My name is denver max please excuse the mask,
Running down my face, bound by tacks and paste.
What the crickets see is between you and me...
What the scarecrows think would turn your eyeballs pink...
With a face like that youll never make it big,
Youll never find a boyfriend unless you get it adjusted...
My name is denver max and wont you come sit on my lap
Because the only thing you own is everything you lack.
Dont you try to call the cops little girl
Because before you pick up the phone youll be dead.
Dont you try to call the cops little girl, cops little girl,
Your tongue is withered its heavier than lead.
Wont you just step into the car little girl,
Your parents dont understand whats in your head.
Were really onto something special little girl,
Youre blushing red,
Youre head cant hide those thoughts of dread.
By the time we hit tuscon your parents little girl,
Parents little girl will be wondering
Where their pretty little blonde has gone.
By the time we hit mexico youll know little girl
Know little girl that denver max will always be the only one.
By the time we hit the ocean well jump little girl,
Jump little girl down to find the undersea sun.

Vrij ongemakkelijk, best.

this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i want to but i can't turn back
but i want to

Wish - Nine Inch Nails

Can't shake this feeling from my head.
there's a devil sleeping in my bed.
he's watching you from across the way.
i cannot make this feeling go away

I'm not sure of what i should do.
when everything i'm think of is you.
all of my excuses turn to lies.
maybe God will cover up his eyes

Maybe just for tonight.
we can pretend it's alright.
what's the price i pay.
i don't care what they say.

Kinda I want to.
I want to (i'll take my chance tonight)

Kinda I want to - Nine Inch Nails

Antony - I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy

I find you with red tears in your eyes
I ask you what is your name, you offer no reply
Should I call a doctor before I fear you might be dead?
But I just lay down beside you and held your hand

I fell in love with you
Now you're my one, only you
'Cause all my life I've been so blue
but in that moment you fulfilled me

Now I'll tell all my friends, I fell in love with a dead boy
Now I'll tell my family, I wish you could have met him
Now I write letters to Australia
Now I throw bottles out to seal

I whisper the secret in the ground
No one is gonna take you away from me

I fell in love with a dead boy, oh, such a beautiful boy
I fell in love with a dead boy, oh, such a beautiful boy

Oh, such a beautiful boy
I ask him are you a boy or a girl?
Are you a boy or are you a girl?

No, you're boy or are you a girl?
Are you a boy or are you a girl?

Als Smog zich weer eens wentelt in zelfmedelijden kan ik er ook altijd wel de grimmige humor van inzien. Maar één van die zeldzame momenten waarop het niet over hemzelf gaat, getiteld Strawberry Rash, is wel meteen git- en gitzwart.

Meet strawberry rash
One on each cheek
Coins in the crack
Meet strawberry rash

It's the banquet of a starving girl
It's the banquet of a starving girl
She's gonna swallow glass

Red eggs and brown apples
She's gonna swallow glass
Meet strawberry rash
Coins in the crack
And begging her to piss

Ik kan er niet naar luisteren, zo erg verontrust me dit...
