Pig Destroyer's "Prowler in the Yard" is by far the ultimate break up album. From extreme self-loathing to the type of anger that fuels the seemingly plausible murder of the one who's done you wrong - the album covers all bases.
Intimate Slavery:
"Happy birthday you broken child.
Of the barbed ribs and the poison heart.
I would show you the view of life from the floor
but the knees are as far as you go.
I give you exhibit A.
A country girl bludgeoned with an elephant tusk.
I give you everything I have wrapped in a shy kiss for you to use once and then destroy."
Sheet Metal Girl:
"I sneak a sniff of her live wire hair.
It is bright red with random sparks.
My bionic sister teaches me inhumanity.
Parting her silver thighs and making love obsolete."
Junkyard God:
"My knuckles are bleeding on your front door
and these flowers are wilting in the rain.
They were for you and now they are for no one.
They are irrelevant as mercenaries in times of peace.
They are smoke twisting off the lips of a movie star.
Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass.
She loves it when he wears his skin like that.
In tatters."
While the album/band may seem a bit extreme, if the breakup doesn't force you to consider murder then you weren't in love.
