Straddle the line, discord and rhyme
Nick Cave was a dark songwriter but I love the duet with Kylie. Inspired use of her "safe" image back then and I think it stands up well now but for the partner violence and murder.
But for? Again, murder ballad is a genre and the entire album was a tribute to that. There's always been depictions of murder in art, it's part of the exploration of the human condition.
