Not necessarily, if you look at it seperately, but it works within the Steinman world. It's an expression of rebellion, of rock and roll life style,
LAR is just a description of a relationship of two characters I don't care about, it neither conveys a feeling nor a message that appeals to me.
Bat I and
II are rock and roll phantasies,
HCTB pretends to be realistic (aside from the life flashing forward thing and the various girls that are actually one and the same girl or whatever confusing story the "concept" is supposed to be based on). If you haven't heard about the Patrick story you probably don't know why the hell you are suddenly confronted with "fück" and the like.

You either got me wrong or missed this:

I tried to explain why some people hate it and why I don't think that Meat is very credible when singing such lyrics (or representing Patrick). That doesn't mean that I feel offended by it - I don't. I have to listen to much worse expressions every day. That's why it doesn't impress me at all, neither in a positive nor in a negative way. If Meat tried to do something special by saying "fück" on a record, he failed.
