We are supposed to cheer on the young Anthony who falls for Johanna while she’s staring out her window, but his “love song” is like a stalking anthem:
"I'll steal you, Johanna, I'll steal you.
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window.
I am in the dark beside you,
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair.
I feel you, Johanna
And one day, I'll steal you." 😳
"I'll steal you, Johanna, I'll steal you.

And one day, I'll steal you." 😳

Mrs. Lovett talks, or sings, about how a fellow pie shop owner uses the neighbors cats as meat for her pies. It's because the price of meat is high. You never actually see any cats being killed or used as meat.

Few things. Lovett tells Sweeney that his wife Lucy poisons herself, she doesn't die from this, but it's clear she was trying to kill herself and he assumes she does. Also, at the end, Sweeney allows Toby to slit his throat, which isn't technically suicide, but he did absolutely nothing to stop this when he easily could have.

The word demon is thrown around in songs, but it's referring mostly to the title character in the way you would call someone a monster. There are no actual demons as a noticeable creature written into the movie, though.
