so maybe you're right, and these are creepy songs. but i dont' think so. :] i guess maybe i've heard them so much that i'm just used to them, and i don't findy anything even slightly creepy about the musical style implemented in either of them. also, i see different things behind them than just what they are literally saying. for example: "rape me" is referring not specifically to nonconsentual sex but to the way the media fucks people over on a daily basis and largely influences the fate of many of the things they cover (ok, i guess this one maybe is a little creepy). as for "down with the sickness," it just sounds to me like they're <I>trying</I> to be creepy to create a certain image for themselves, and for me that doesn't work. and possum kingdom... i think i just love that song so much that its difficult for me to find it disturbing in any way.
