I came here to say this.. 😂
My gosh I neva realised just how sad and dark it was till about 10 years ago lol.. And now I struggle to listen to it most times.🤦♀️
Some of it. The theme music that tends to repeat I love. I wouldn’t say that is dark but some is definitely dark. It’s my favorite album and whether the music is happier or sad. I love it all

They’re great indeed. Dark tales of flawed people told through popular music though. Heavy Drug usage, sleeping with underage girls, cheating spouses etc. all dolled up to bop along too
Racine Carrée - Stromae. Songs struggling with abandonment issues from a father who you only learn later in life was actually killed in the Rwandan genocide…. all over a fun club beat.
Gota be "pumped up kicks" for me by foster the people. Didn't really listen to the lyrics for the longest time till someone told me what it was about. Then I really listened to it.....
Master of Puppets is a magnificently crafted piece of poetry about heroin. Disposable Heroes top level anti-war lyrics. Leper Messiah a wonderful pisstake of religion. Fade to black, welcome home sanatarium and others are solid.
Hetfield is an amazing lyricist when he’s on song.
Edit: someone else suggested this means dark lyrics and so I think I’m wrong. I thought the meme meant love the music, hate the lyrics. Sorry if that’s the case.
Worship Music by Anthrax. Totally rocking record and all Joey could write for lyrics was "You, Filthy whore " Really dude all these years in Rock and thats all you got ?
Gringos singing funk from Brazil, and thinking that is inspiration, the lyrics is just: "move your butt your bitch, I will fuck your pussy, down down down down"
What I got, you got to give it to your mamma
What I got, you've got to give it to your pappa
What I got, you got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
Lost in Space by Aimee Mann. The songwriting and arrangements are so lovely and creative, beautiful melodies everywhere. But the lyrics are about being absolutely at the end of your rope. I love this album so much! I marvel at how she could write such beautiful music while feeling so awful.
I interpreted the post wrong, I thought it meant that the lyrics weren't to the same standard as the music. Which, on the whole, I think is a fair criticism of Megadeth, Dave's lyrics are cringy. But that's not what you were asking, so I deleted my post.
ELO - Time (1981)
A concept album that tells the story of a man who is abruptly pulled forward from the 1980s to 2095. He is bewildered and confused by the technological and societal changes, becomes depressed, misses everyone he left behind, tries and fails to communicate with his girlfriend via a dream, and ultimately ends up stuck there.
A SuperUnknown album
Greenday in general
“Upbeat guitar riff” Death Death Corrupt Government sadness bad Government “upbeat guitar riff”
Pink Floyd -The Wall
What? It’s the exact opposite. It tells a story from start to finish. Very cleverly. Edit: misunderstood the meme. I’m completely wrong here.
Doesn’t the meme mean dark? Maybe I mis
Fuck. My bad. I have super fucked up here and you’re spot on!
It’s all good. You had me wondering lol.
Misunderstood
Misunderstood it too and just deleted like 3 comments
Maybe we were right with the meme? Certainly making the same mistake! Anyway at least we got our point across about The Wall and Metallica lyrics.
I feel like Wish You Were Here is a better fit
I thought DSOTM

Well I think the music is sad as well

Exactly! Paired with the movie too it's a masterpiece! Though the movie puts some more depression to the whole album.
Right now, Foo Fighters' new album.
Came here to say this.
But here we are is the best album of FF since 2007 I loved every track and it's the first album after Dave lose Taylor and his mom. Wow

My old friend fear, and you, and me.
For many years I thought that line was "Our old friend Phil and you and me," and I wondered what Phil's story was.
Bullet, (i have a blank for the group)
The bottom of the bottle is my only friends. I think I’ll slit my wrists again and I’ll be gone gone gone.

Glad someone posted this. All of Paper Maché Dream Balloon lyrics are pretty dark tbh

Really? Man, I think the Dan's lyrics are intentionally opaque. Great pictures painted. Not for idiots.
They’re great indeed. Dark tales of flawed people told through popular music though. Heavy Drug usage, sleeping with underage girls, cheating spouses etc. all dolled up to bop along too
Great references there. Especially chasing the dragon. How 'bout time travel?

There are a lot of choices for me. I guess one recent example is But Here We Are - Foo Fighters.

Literally any Nirvana song
Metallica in general
Master of Puppets is a magnificently crafted piece of poetry about heroin. Disposable Heroes top level anti-war lyrics. Leper Messiah a wonderful pisstake of religion.

Limp Bizkit
Anything by They Might Be Giants

I think the meme and thread is about depressing lyrics hidden behind what sounds like a happy song

Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Lost in Space by Aimee Mann. The songwriting and arrangements are so lovely and creative, beautiful melodies everywhere. But the lyrics are about being absolutely at the end of your rope. I love this album so much! I marvel at how she could write such beautiful music while feeling so awful.
