Is it like those “nonsense” poems/lyrics?

No, “nonsense” makes sense in its context, like “Jabberwocky.” This is word-salad:

“Absolute Zero”

The bloody angle, the symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn’t holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the truth
And I don’t need a reason to lie to you

No pun intended, no punishment
If I offended you, you needed it
Ideas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in time
If you don’t have a weapon you can’t have mine

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I’m not afraid
I’m giving into grievances again
You’re looking at an absolute zero
I’m not the devil but I won’t be your hero

The catatonic, the sacrilege
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My God has a need to react, it’s as simple as that
It’s better just to settle than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I’m not afraid
I’m giving into grievances again
You’re looking at an absolute zero
I’m not the devil but I won’t be your hero

One thing that I can’t stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I’ll waste a lifetime’s worth
Just to cling to one more day

No f***ing quarter, no premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man is a four-letter word, it’s really absurd
The hate isn’t fake, it’s just inferred

(Note, I thought this last stanza was about health insurance, because I heard, “No f-in COBRA, no premiums ...”.
