Manowar's, "Metal Warriors"
The Boasting Lyrics:
Now the world must listen to our decree,
We don't turn down for anyone,
We do just what we please.
Got to make it louder,
All men play on ten.
We don't turn down for anyone,
We do just what we please.
Got to make it louder,
All men play on ten.
Comments:
Boasting about how they're the loudest band and won't turn down (like their other song "Kings of Metal").

Why They're Nonsensical:
How does that work? First he's talking about moving on with his life, then he says he wants to stay in the present and not move forward. Surely those cancel each other out?

Insincere Song Lyrics -> Latest Entries
N.W.A.'s, "F*** the Police"
The Insincere Lyrics:
F*** the police [4x]
Why They're Insincere:
While they did bluntly indict the police – particularly the LAPD – for its brutality and treatment of African Americans and other ethnicities, their profane chant felt rather ironic when photos of Eazy-E posing for a selfie with a police officer emerged years later. In fact, Eazy was criticised by his rap peers when he defended one of those who were implicated in the Rodney King incident.

Scary Lyrics -> Latest Entries
Sabaton's, "Ghost Division"
The Lyrics:
Fast as the wind the invasion has begun,
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Shaking the ground with the force of (a) thousand guns.
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land,
Tanks leading the way, leading the way.
Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm,
Fast as the lightning, phantoms swarm.
Two-hundred miles at nightfall, taken within a day,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame.
They are the Panzer Elite.
Born to compete, never retreat,
(Ghost Division).
Living or dead, always ahead,
Fed by your dread.
Always ahead as the blitzkrieg rages on,
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns...
Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction)
Massive assault live to serve the nazi plan (Wehrmachts' pride, ghost division).
Communications broken, Phantoms too far away,
Thus earning the name, earning the fame...
Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance),
Breaching the way for panzer corps (Show no fear, self-subsistent)...
Why:
This song is about the 7th Panzer Division, commanded by Erwin Rommel, that participated in the invasion of Belgium and France in 1940. By the third day of the invasion, the 7th along with three divisions commanded by General Heinz Guderian reached the river Meuse. By the 16th of May, the 7th had reached its assigned objective at Avesnes where it was supposed to stop and await further orders, but Rommel decided to press on. On the 20th of May, the division reached Arras where they encountered heavy resistance from the British forces. They reached Lille on the 27th of May which they sieged until the 31st. On the 17th of June 1940, the division was ordered to advance on Cherbourg. The division advanced 240 kilometers in 24 hours, and after two days of battle, won against the French garrison. The speed and surprise they were able to achieve was considerable, to the point that the German high command lost track of the division and thus they earned the nickname “Ghost Division." Singing about how powerful these tanks were is very scary. They could break through land so easily.

Sabaton's, "Steel Commanders"
The Lyrics:
Over hundred years ago since we first rode into fire,
The rulers of the battlefield, rolling over trench and wire.
Into battle, no retreat, roll out, for our foes we spell disaster,
In the footsteps of Montgomery, Patton followed, we came after.
Flers–Courcelette showed the way.
Evolution leading to
El-Alamein until today,
We're the first ones into the fray.
Steel Commanders!
(Rule the battlefield)
Spearhead Flanders!
(Tankers leading the)
Storm of panzers!
(Battle calling the)
Steel Commanders!
From the Mark 1's introduction to the beast known as the Leopard,
With our Chieftains and Centurions, our frontline has been tempered.
From the fields of Prokhorovka to the shores of Overlord,
The beginning of the victory, Shermans rolling on to Sword...
The rulers of the battlefield, rolling over trench and wire.
Into battle, no retreat, roll out, for our foes we spell disaster,
In the footsteps of Montgomery, Patton followed, we came after.
Flers–Courcelette showed the way.
Evolution leading to
El-Alamein until today,
We're the first ones into the fray.
Steel Commanders!
(Rule the battlefield)
Spearhead Flanders!
(Tankers leading the)
Storm of panzers!
(Battle calling the)
Steel Commanders!
From the Mark 1's introduction to the beast known as the Leopard,
With our Chieftains and Centurions, our frontline has been tempered.
From the fields of Prokhorovka to the shores of Overlord,
The beginning of the victory, Shermans rolling on to Sword...
Why:
Nobody wants to hear your ringtone celebrating the evolution of tanks at a solemn war memorial.
