Songs you find creepy

Also "One" - even worse than 'locked in syndrome'. The video makes it worse.



I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

“One” is actually an incredible anti war song-based on the anti-Vietnam War movie “Johnny Got His Gun”. Kid cant’t see, speak, move… Trapped on life support, due to a landmine explosion.
 
Here's the original. Quite the contrast.
That sounds sped up from how I remember the Tears for Fears version. Gary Jules definitely slowed his version down as well as changed the key it's in.

World War 1, but yes, very anti-war. The visuals from "Johnny" make the song IMO. I want to read the book.
 
How about "Joan Crawford has risen from the Grave" By Blue Oyster Cult.
And the video for it is especially weird!

BOC had a lot of songs that showed their weird, twisted sense of humor. My vote would be for "Unknown Tongue" which is a song about a young schoolgirl either cutting herself or pleasuring herself. Sorry, no, I don't think they have a video for it.
 
Remember back in the mid-1990's when the Benedictine Monks chanting music had their 15 minutes of fame ? That totally creeped me out and I couldn't imagine sitting at home with that playing on my sound system.
 
One more that still gets to me. I was a teenager but my siblings were of “age” and their friends , still creeps me out



And the lyrics
