Steely Dan is full of these.

Pretzel Logic is about time travel.

Don't Take Me Alive is about an Asimovian robot holding a bunch of people hostage as part of an existential crisis about the nature of life.

Peg is about convincing a woman to let you record sex with her by plying her with other pornography.

Chain Lightning might sound like it is about gay sex from literally everything about the lyrics but it's supposedly about the frightening intensity that spreads through KKK hate rallies like a disease.

Supposedly.

"Time Out of Mind" is sung from the perspective of a heroin dealer trying to entice a young person into using it.

"Gaucho" is supposedly about a wealthy gay couple that is fighting over one of the dudes side pieces.

and of course, "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" is about a neighborhood pedo called Mr. LaPage showing all of the local teenagers 8mm porn movies while their parents think they've gone to the cinema.

probably the most subversive band ever. Pretty much every single track they ever recorded is about some kind of creep, lowlife, dealer or gangster

I still don't get the '26 dollars in my hand' thing. Wouldn't he get like an even amount and then buy smokes with the rest? Like yeah I could see somebody desperate getting a 6 bag but once you break 20, might be more efficient to get a 20 bag, bottle of thunder chicken, and cigs.

Lol

right? you must be a fellow junkie/former junkie.

grimes' "oblivion" is about coping with the trauma of getting sexually molested

and the whole "see you on a dark night" chorus always seemed like an invitation or something. Like she wants to be assaulted again.
