Like...A 5? I mean it doesn't sound happy and all, but the lyrics are pretty vague, so there's not much really to object to either...

Mental As Anything - The Nips Are Getting Bigger

[down] "Nips" is actually referring to measures of alcohol here, but otherwise yeah.

8. Sounds dark enough, but kind of vague to tell what they're singing about

The lyrics are very violent, but not profane enough to give it more than a 9.

Uh, a 6? I feel like I should put this higher, but going on the lyrics alone it's kinda vague and I'm not quite sure what's going on...

7-8. It's calling a woman out for her promiscuity. Good song but a little cringy.

7 - One of those songs where it's clear it's about something considerably darker than its veiled prose would imply, perhaps being hunted as an enemy of the state circa the 30's to 50's and memories of past traumas, but it takes much longer for it to really settle in.

The lyrics are vague, but there's clearly a dark subtext present, nothing really explicit except a single F-bomb, 5.

Some pretty dark things - stalking, epidemic, visions of apocalypse - thrown in a blender, result is too unfocused to score more than a 6.

The rating kind of depends on how you view the lyrics. If you think that Pink's simply being anesthesized, like Roger Waters was, which inspired this song, then it's about a 6, 7 at best because of the angst. If you think he's doing heroin, it's an 8 for sure.
