Songs are great until you learn the real meaning behind their lyrics

This is a 3-panel meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format. The first panel shows a normal, happy version of Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'song', representing the positive, enjoyable initial experience of listening to a good-sounding track. The second panel shows a slightly distorted, strained-looking Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'lyrics', referring to the mild discomfort that sets in when you start paying attention to the actual words of the song. The third panel shows a heavily distorted, unsettling black and white version of Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'meaning behind the lyrics', which jokes about how many upbeat, pleasant-sounding songs actually have extremely dark, sad, or heavy underlying meanings that ruin the lighthearted listening experience once you understand the full context of the lyrics.
