Nine Inch Nails – The Becoming Lyrics 20 years ago
I believe this song is about Darth Vader. I just saw Star Wars Episode III so I might be a little biased but check these lyrics out and think of the meaning when you look at it in the context I have presented.

"I'm stuck in this dream
it's changing me
I am becoming"

These lyrics speak of Anakins turn to the darkside. He is becoming evil.

"the me that you know he had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know he doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore"

Anakin began having second thoughts as he grew older and learned of his incredible power. He is covered in scabs and almost dead at the end of the film. His good side is fading away.

"hiding backwards inside of me
I feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter
I might just slip away"

Fear is a path to the darkside. Anakin, or "annie" must hold on to who he has become. It's an inner struggle.

"it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head"

It's killing and tearing him up from the inside.

I could be wrong but that's my interpretation.

Team Sleep – Kool-aid Party Lyrics 23 years ago
This song has a dreamy feeling to it. It makes me think of a mass suicide.
