I’ll start as an example: in the song Mr. Brightside by the Killers, the word “swimming” in “swimming through sick lullabies” is pronounced with a ‘t’ at the start like in “tsunami”. It’s “tswimming through sick lullabies”.

    Another song by The Killers has the line “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier” repeated over and over again with increasing intensity. It’s hard to imagine a less meaningful lyric without actually resorting to nonsensicalness.
