Really crazy.
I think native English speakers would not write lyrics in this way.
The lyrics of “Maximun the Hormone” seem only to have “atmosphere”. Not meanings.

Hm. It's similar to most heavy metal and darker music like it. The important part is to understand that the song is from the perspective of the person making all the events happen. Also, the song is mainly about one repeated action and the reasoning or thinking behind it.

I can see why it was used in the Death Note anime as it shares the same themes of ruthless justice done by someone who believes they are unquestionably correct.

However, I do agree there are some words and imagery that don't make a whole lot of sense even after many readings. But that's the nature of music and creativity...sometimes it makes sense by not making sense.
