Napalm Death - You Suffer
You suffer, but why?

Obviously a song about a bitter relationship. They're so emo.

Captain Beefheart - Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish

Lucid tentacles test 'n sleeved
'n joined 'n jointed jade pointed
Diamond back patterns
Neon meate dream of a octafish
Artifact on rose petals
'n flesh petals 'n pots
Fack 'n feast 'n tubes tubs bulbs
In jest incest injest injust in feast incest
'n specks 'n speckled speckled
Speckled speculation
Fedlocks waddlin' feast
Archaic faces frenzy
Ceramic fists artificial deceased
'n cists rancid buds burst
Dank drum 'n dung dust
Meate rose 'n hairs
Meaty meate rose 'n hairs
Meaty dream wet meate
Limp damp rows
Peeled 'n felt fields 'n belts
Impaled on 'n daeman
Mucus mules
Twot trot tra la tra la
Tra la tra la tra la
Whale bone fields 'n belts
Whale bone farmhouse
Cavorts girdled 'n latters uh lite
Cavorts girdled 'n latters uh lite
Uh dipped amidst
Squirmin' serum 'n semen 'n syrup 'n semen
'n serum
Stirrupped in syrup
Neon meate dream of a octafish

clearly an emotional song about a romantic relationship with some sort of sea-dwelling creature.

I can make some connections I guess...

well based on what i've read about E and the eels, nothing he writes is anywhere near happy or idealistic. everything is VERY dark and usually well hidden.

what i see when i read those lyrics is a reflection of the unpleasant reality of recognizing the fact that you'll never be as special as you felt when you were a child. the dude went through an unimaginable rough time in his youth, can't see him writing songs telling people how to be instead of reflections on his own life.

Ween - Mutilated Lips

I lick my brain in silence
Rather squeeze my head instead
Midget man provoking violence
Listen not to what I said

I said please calm it down
Everything is turning brown

Mutilated lips give a kiss on the wrist
Of the worm like tips of tentacles expanding
In my mind, I'm fine, accepting only fresh brine
You can get another drop of this, yeah you wish

Laughing lady living lover
Ooo you sassy frassy lassie
Find me the skull of Haile Selassie, I
Give me shoes so I can tapsy

Tap all over this big world
Take my hand you ugly girl

Mutilated lips give a kiss on the wrist
Of the worm like tips of tentacles expanding
In my mind, I'm fine, accepting only fresh brine
You can get another drop of this, yeah you wish

An elaborate, awesome metaphor for fisting.
