The Band:

  • Literally everything on Feast except for the more cheerful "Gecko" and playful "Miss The Girl" is extremely dark and eerie. It's filled with this Hawaii theme and thus feels like it's all in a dark, massive forest.
    • "Morning Dawning" with it's haunting, warped vocals.
    • "Inoa'Ole" begins with a Hawaiian vocal group singing and later becomes spliced with eerie snippets of Siouxsie.
    • "Ice House" which leads into "Dancing On Glass" forms a hypnotic, eerie suite of sorts.
    • "Strutting Rooster", which has lyrics taken from a possibly Hawaiian traditional song, sung very ominously by Siouxsie.
    • The experimental "Sky Train", very evocative of its title, is filled with huge and fast percussion while the only lyrics are "Sky train / Rides again".
    • "Flesh" is all sorts of scary. Despite the lyrics including "Piggy squeals and Horsey neighs": Siouxsie herself said it's about snuff films, while the first section has a sample of people talking, evoking some sort of sinister party/celebration going on in a tent at a dark forest, accompanied by creepy spoken words from Siouxsie, until it changes into very frightening chants of the aforementioned, somewhat silly animal-related lyrics. While this seems to contradict Siouxsie's subject matter of snuff films; I always interpreted it as a bunch of vicious animals attacking people at, again, a gathering in a tent.
    • The B-side of "Miss The Girl" is "Hot Springs In The Snow", an eerie and strange instrumental.
  • From Boomerang, "Manchild"'s subject matter of a young boy who's the last male in his village due to a long-running blood feud.
  • Anima Animus is filled with rather playful creepiness. Most of all, there's the brief closing track "Don't Go To Sleep Without Me", an extremely haunting and scary song led by just eerie acoustic guitar and vocals. Lyrics include: "Dont you go, and leave me here / With my heart, being crushed / Falling through, the spaces", etc.
    • The other scariest song is the electro-industrial "Exterminating Angel", with both bizarre and ominous lyrics like "I wanna f-ck it up, just for the hell of it", not to mention the constant inhaling backing voice through it all and the aggressive ending.
    • The apathetic and evil-sounding "Disconnected".
    • "Prettiest Thing" sounds a bit silly, but at the time same the spare percussion and creeping whispers at the beginning are rather eerie. "DIP IIIIIINNNN"
