Thrice’s song can be quite disturbing, and it’s no surprise why.
The Illusion of Safety:
- “Kill Me Quickly” is quite horrifying, a man begs for his girlfriend to kill him while he kills her too.
- “A Subtle Dagger” shows how society will follow a path that will blatantly end in ruin.
- “See You in the Shallows”. The man in this song seems really optimistic about committing suicide.
- “Deadbolt”. The lyrics say it all.
- The sirens feed my nightmares
I just close my eyes and I’m already there
It’s already too late
I know it’s nothing but lies
- The man singing “In Years To Come” is so eager to show he loves his significant other that he would die for her. It’s both horrifying and heartwarming.
- “The Red Death” is probably one of the few Thrice sings that has a reputation for being outright terrifying. It’s sung from the point of view of an …entity preparing to kill his victims.
- “Trust” is quite ominous and surprisingly calm for a Thrice song, but it is pretty uncanny too, with the line “Mix the chemicals right, dear” repeated over and over again. Other than that it is quite heartwarming.
- To Awake and Avenge the Dead features a person summoning their dead friend’s ghost.
The Artist in the Ambulance:
- “Under a Killing Moon” is quite creepy, with Dustin Kendrue’s voice screaming “Burn!” topping it all off.
- The descriptions in “Silhouette” are too graphic…
- The lyrics of “Blood Clots and Black Holes” are quite disturbing. Not even a minute in and the lyrics contain Eye Scream
- Here’s your new drug
Shoot it in the left eye, feel it on the right side
!!Vheissu:
- “Red Sky” proves that there is a trend of Thrice songs with the word red in them being horrifying
The Alchemy Index, Vols. 1 & 2: Fire & Water:
- “Digital Sea’s” lyrics are a mixture of this and Tearjerker.
- “Lost Continent”. Just the lyrics “We’ll soon be swallowed by sea” is enough to make this calm melody less calm.
The Alchemy Index Vols. 3 & 4: Air and Earth:
- ”The Sky Is Falling” is also a mixture of this and tearjerker, as we can hear a man singing about how his family will die.
- The Lion and the Wolf is a song about a lion and a wolf entering your house while you sleep and eating your flesh.
Beggars:
- The opening lyrics to “All the World Is Mad count as this.
- “The Great Exchange” is a song about a cruise ship in which the passengers sent their captain to die.
Major/Minor:
- The person Kendrue sings about in Yellow Belly qualifies as this.
