[Quiet Man Cometh]

This just came to me yesterday, one of the songs I used to like some time ago was Third Eye Blind's "Slow Motion" which to me a great example of lyrics not matching the melody of the song. I like the melody and the singer and enjoy listening to the song but the lyrics still want to make me cringe.

The lyrics are graphic and quite violent, but the song itself has a very lazy flow to it, and the singer himself doesn't seem too concerned with putting much punch into what he's singing. He just seems to float along with the melody while talking about shootings, wife beating, and such. After all that though, the last verse is a cheeky comment on the contents of the song and the nature of the listeners.
