Some songs are about being in love. Some songs are about being insane. They may be incoherent, psychedelic messes or intricate folk songs, but they're about going insane. Common themes are what drove the singer crazy and what it feels like in the depths of madness. The music may rise and fall erratically or use other tricks to indicate the singer's fractured mental state, but just as often the tune sounds perfectly normal. Note that if the singer is mentally ill but the song is about something else, it doesn't count. A Sub-Trope of Sanity Slippage. Compare BSOD Song, Disney Acid Sequence.
