Jethro Tull is arguably my sustained favorite band. "Aqualung" is arguably my sustained favorite song by that band. Listen to it and see if you can guess how I feel about "dark" subjects and regional expressions. "Dog-end"? "Bog?"

As to the broader question: Although I attempt to write "good" lyrics (otherwise, what's the point?) they are almost never the first thing I listen to in a song "new to me". That would include nearly every "song" on the showcase. If lucky, I might get snatches and gists. When you write it, it's yours. When I listen to it, it becomes mine. Those two may never mesh.
