Another example where this is similar in its elements but differs in its emphasis might be the track "No Regrets," by Aesop Rock. There is an inverse effect from the lyric as Apollonic, poetic / folksy, and the other playing the maddening & vigorous repetitive consortium of sounds instrumentalized to support the verse's content progression (this might be visually resembled by a gothic chapel tower lain horizontally along a city block, with the steeple in tact, progressively elevating from the ground beneath which real estate prices skyrocket and urban demographers scratch their heads in passing). Schopenhauer might disagree with these selections being regarded as music altogether, considering they may lack a certain purity and also appear ephemeral in the scope of contemporary culture.
As for what these selections do possess, according to my reading of Nietzsche, I would venture to posit as being tragic. For a fun example in which the spirit of the dyonesiac is elevated through the original composition above being drug toward effacement (and possibly acceptably Schopenhauery) check out this cover / acoustic rendition of the second selection (only for the daringest souls) below.
