Mate careful looking at lyrics of some songs as a LOT of them can be fucked up or depressing but people glance over them because they get caught up in the beat or in another language like with a lot of the Anime OP and EDs I hear.
Want the best example of this I can think of is Crystal Castles as their entire itinerary was fucked up in the lyrics department and I only heard of them thanks to Saints Row 2 with arguably one of their more f'd up songs. Though finding out what happened behind the scenes with that group, the lyrics make A LOT more sense...
I think the most commercially misunderstood song is The Polices's "Every Breath You Take"
It's become a romcom and wedding staple but it's about an obsessive stalker, hardly a romantic notion. But people hear the hook and the melody and think it's beautiful. Speaking of hook, the song "Hook" by Blues Travelers is a song about writing a song. They literally describe constructing a hit song for radio friendly consumption

Yeah, a lot of Police songs are quite creepy, when you listen closely to the lyrics…
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me” is probably the most obvious one, lol…
But “Wrapped Around Your Finger” is… Similarly stalker-ish, too…
