Abuse of power, addiction, anarchy, anger, apathy, cannibalism, darkness, death, depression, fantasy, gore, hate, humor, insanity, anti-christianity, life and death, masochism, misanthropy, murder, mysticism, mythology, nihilism, politics, psychosis, serial killers, sexual perversions, social alienation, social commentary, satanism, society, suicide, occultism, torture and war are all themes that are explored in Death Metal lyrics. Remember that part of what makes Death Metal unique is that NOTHING is off-limits in terms of song lyrics. And don't be afraid to talk about more than one thing in your lyrics. For example, a song can flow between furrydom and Tolkien in a complex thematic interplay.
