The Thing To Do With Your Intense Emotions

is to encode them in micro-phrasing. The most intense ones for the tiniest movements--this voice moving from this note to that one, this little two-note dissonance. Then they are well-hidden and you can continue to keep your shit together. And it makes the best music. I like the instruments to say the craziest shit, AFTER the text has been declamed. And then it's even more covert.
