As you might expect, my songs are kind of emo, so you can probably disregard my advice completely, Matt

| | | | Imagination my friend.
Also King,Straub etc.
I wrote a song which was something like:-
'Man's penace for his misdeeds...'
Only our vocalist-this rap guy can't say penace and says pen*s.

You don't have to directly relate it to a friend or yourself but use the idea and elaborate and let imagination do the rest. |
