[Purple]

Post the most depressing lyrics... Uhm... Think I'll start..

Hurt by nine inch nails


i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything

what have i become
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

i wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here

what have i become
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way

the encounter by evergrey

Like leaves on trees in fall
I'm shivering I'm falling
Like the screams from a new-born child
So innocent so fragile
Screaming struggling trying
I want to see what the future holds
This life in fear is no life at all

The will I had ain't strong enough
And the strength I seek ain't there
My world is dead
My future's broken
And it all stays the same

They're coming
They're coming here to stay
They're coming
They're taking me away...

I beg for a helping hand
I'm reaching I am searching
But no...
And i pray for an ear that listens
My hope's washed away
I'm here alone

I hear them
They're coming
Quickly through the hallway
The door opens
Helpless again

The will I had ain't strong enough
The strength i seek ain't there
My world is dead
My future's broken
Cause it all stays the same

They're coming
They're coming here to stay
They're coming
They're taking me away...
They're coming
Only to leave me in shame
Simply leave me...

Pretty much anything by Nine Inch Nails or Radiohead or Nirvana.

[EneME]

The Smiths rule..

Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm


So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?


The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on


Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

I Know It's Over
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

Roses In The Hospital

ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. TRY TO PULL MY FINGERNAILS OUT. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. I WANT TO CLING TO SOMETHING SOFT. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. PROGRESSING LIKE A CONSTANT WAR. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. THERE'S NO ONE TO FEEL ASHAMED FOR.

ALL WE WANTED WAS A HOME. NOW WE'RE SO STRUNG OUT WE WANNA OWN. LIKE A LEAF IN THE AUTUMN BREEZE. LIKE A FLOOD IN JANUARY. WE DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING LOVE.

ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. STUB CIGARETTES OUT ON MY ARM. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING OF VALUE. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. NOTHING REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. HEROIN IS JUST TOO TRENDY.

ALL WE WANTED WAS A HOME. NOW WE'RE SO STRUNG OUT WE WANNA OWN. LIKE A LEAF IN THE AUTUMN BREEZE. LIKE A FLOOD IN JANUARY. WE DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING LOVE.

ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. THIS CENTURY ACHIEVED SO MUCH. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. TO MAKE A VOICE NO VOICE AT ALL. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. FLOWERS CANNOT EXPRESS THE LOSS. ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL. TORN REFLECTIONS OF BURNT OUT TRASH. OF BURNT OUT TRASH.

FOREVER EVER DELAYED. FOREVER EVER DELAYED.
FOREVER FOREVER.
FOREVER EVER DELAYED.

INDEPENDENCE IS A GAME. FOREVER EVER DELAYED. CREDIBILITY, I'M YAWNING. FOREVER. FOREVER. RUDI RUDI RUDI RUDI GONNA FALL. FOREVER EVER DELAYED. FOREVER DELAYED. FOREVER.

THE WEST SCRATCHES ON MY SKIN. FOREVER DELAYED. CONTAGIOUS LIKE A SUNTAN. WE NEVER FELT ANY SUN.


4st 7lb


DAYS SINCE I LAST PISSED. CHEEKS SUNKEN AND DESPAIRED. SO GORGEOUS SUNK TO SIX STONE. LOSE MY ONLY REMAINING HOME. SEE MY THIRD RIB APPEAR. A WEEK LATER ALL MY FLESH DISAPPEAR. STRETCHING TAUT, CLING-FILM ON BONE. I'M GETTING BETTER.

KAREN SAY'S I'VE REACHED MY TARGET WEIGHT. KATE AND EMMA AND KRISITIN KNOW IT'S FAKE. PROBLEM IS DIET'S NOT A BIG ENOUGH WORD.

I WANNA BE SO SKINNY THAT I ROT FROM VIEW.
I WANT TO WALK IN THE SNOW. AND NOT LEAVE A FOOTPRINT. I WANT TO WALK IN THE SNOW. AND NOT SPOIL ITS PURITY.

STOMACH COLLAPSED AT FIVE. LIFT UP MY SKIRT MY SEX IS GONE. NAKED AND LOVELY AND 5ST 2. MAY I BUD AND NEVER FLOWER. MY VISION'S GETTING BLURRED. BUT I CAN SEE MY RIB'S AND I FEEL FINE. MY HANDS ARE TREMBLING STALKS. AND I CAN FEEL MY BREASTS ARE SINKING.

MOTHER TRIES TO CHOKE ME WITH ROAST BEEF. AND SITS SAVOURING HER SOLE RYVITA. THAT'S THE WAY YOU'RE BUILT MY FATHER SAID.

BUT I CAN CHANGE, MY COCOON SHEDDING

I WANT TO WALK IN THE SNOW. AND NOT LEAVE A FOOTPRINT. I WANT TO WALK IN THE SNOW. AND NOT SPOIL ITS PURITY.

KATE AND KRISTIN AND KIT KAT. ALL THINGS I LIKE LOOKING AT. TOO WEAK TO FUSS, TOO WEAK TO DIE. CHOICE IS SKELETAL IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE.

I CHOOSE, MY CHOICE, I STARVE TO FRENZY. HUNGER SOON PASSES AND SICKNESS SOON TIRES. LEGS BEND, STOCKINGED I AM TWIGGY. AND I DON'T MIND THE HORROR THAT SURROUNDS ME.

SELF- WORTH SCATTERS, SELF ESTEEM'S A BORE. I LONG SINCE MOVED TO A HIGHER PLATEAU. THIS DISCIPLINE'S SO RARE SO PLEASE APPLAUD. JUST LOOK AT THE FAT SCUM WHO PAMPER ME.

YEH 4ST 7, AN EPILOGUE OF YOUTH. SUCH BEAUTIFUL DIGNITY IN SELF-ABUSE. I'VE FINALLY COME TO UNDERSTAND LIFE. THROUGH STARING BLANKLY AT MY NAVEL.




Archives Of Pain


IF HOSPITALS CURE. THEN PRISONS MUST BRING THEIR PAIN. DO NOT BE ASHAMED TO SLAUGHTER. THE CENTRE OF HUMANITY IS CRUELTY. THERE IS NEVER REDEMPTION. ANY FOOL CAN REGRET YESTERDAY. NAIL IT TO THE HOUSE OF LORDS. YOU WILL BE BURIED IN THE SAME BOX AS A KILLER, AS A KILLER, AS A KILLER.

A DRAINED WHITE BODY HANGING FROM THE GALLOWS, IS MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN HINDLEY'S CROTCHET LECTURES. PAIN NOT PENANCE, FORGET MARTYRS, REMEMBER VICTIMS. THE WEAK DIE YOUNG AND RIGHT NOW WE CROUCH TO MAKE THEM STRONG.

GIVE THEM RESPECT THEY DESERVE. GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE.

EXECUTION NEEDED. A BLOODY VESSEL FOR YOUR PEACE. IF MAN MAKES DEATH THEN DEATH MAKES MAN. TEAR THE TORSO WITH HORSES AND CHAINS. KILLERS VIEW THEMSELVES LIKE THEY VIEW THE WORLD, THEY PICK AT THE HOLES. NOT PUNISH LESS, RISE THE PAIN. STERILISE RAPISTS, ALL I PREACH IS EXTINCTION.

Mausoleum


WHEREVER YOU GO I WILL BE CARCASS. WHATEVER YOU SEE WILL BE ROTTING FLESH. HUMANITY RECOVERED GLITTERING ETIQUETTE. ANSWERS HER CRIMES WITH MAUSOLEUM RENT.

REGAINED YOUR SELF-CONTROL. AND REGAINED YOUR SELF-ESTEEM. AND BLIND YOUR SUCCESS INSPIRES. AND ANALYSE, DESPISE AND SCRUTINISE. NEVER KNOWING WHAT YOU HOPED FOR. AND SAFE AND WARM BUT LIFE IS SO SILENT. FOR THE VICTIMS THAT HAVE NO SPEECH. IN THEIR SHAPELESS GUILTY REMORSE. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. YOUR MEANING. YOUR MEANING.

NO BIRDS - NO BIRDS. THE SKY IS SWOLLEN BLACK. NO BIRDS - NO BIRDS. HOLY MASS OF DEAD INSECTS.

COME AND WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE. NO ONE SEES A THING BUT THEY CAN PRETEND. LIFE ETERNAL SCORCHED GRASS AND TREES. FOR YOUR LOVE NATURE HAS HAEMORRHAGED.

REGAINED YOUR SELF-CONTROL. AND REGAINED YOUR SELF-ESTEEM. AND BLIND YOUR SUCCESS INSPIRES. AND ANALYSE, DESPISE AND SCRUTINISE. NEVER KNOWING WHAT YOU HOPED FOR. AND SAFE AND WARM BUT LIFE IS SO SILENT. FOR THE VICTIMS THAT HAVE NO SPEECH. IN THEIR SHAPELESS GUILTY REMORSE. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. OBLITERATES YOUR MEANING. YOUR MEANING. YOUR MEANING.

NO BIRDS - NO BIRDS. THE SKY IS SWOLLEN BLACK. NO BIRDS - NO BIRDS. HOLY MASS OF DEAD INSECTS.

AND LIFE CAN BE AS IMPORTANT AS DEATH. BUT SO MEDIOCRE WHEN THERE'S NO AIR, NO LIGHT AND NO HOPE. PREJUDICE BURNS BRIGHTER WHEN IT'S ALL WE HAVE TO BURN. THE WORLD LANCES YOUTH'S LAMB-LIKE WINTER, WINTER.

Of Walking Abortion


LIFE IS LEAD WEIGHTS, PENDULUM DIED. PURE OR LOST, SPECTATOR OR CRUCIFIED. RECOGNISED TRUTH ACEDIA'S BLACKEST HOLE. JUNKIES WINOS WHORES THE NATION'S MORAL SUICIDE.

LOSER - LIAR - FAKE - PHONEY. NO ONE CARES, EVERYONE IS GUILTY. FUCKED UP - DUNNO WHY - YOU POOR LITTLE BOY.

WE ARE ALL OF WALKING ABORTION. SHALOM SHALOM WE ALL LOVE OUR CHILDREN. WE ARE ALL OF WALKING ABORTION. SHALOM SHALOM THERE ARE NO HORIZONS.

MUSSOLINI HANGS FROM A BUTCHER'S HOOK. HITLER REPRISED IN THE WORM OF YOUR SOUL. HORTHY'S CORPSE SCREENED TO A MILLION. TISU REVIVED, THE HORROR OF A BULLFIGHT.

FRAGMENTS OF UNIFORMS, OPEN BLACK RUINS. A MORAL CONSCIENCE - YOU'VE NO WOUNDS TO SHOW. SO WASH YOUR CAR IN 'X' BASEBALL SHOES.

WE ARE ALL OF WALKING ABORTION. SHALOM SHALOM WE ALL LOVE OUR CHILDREN. WE ARE ALL OF WALKING ABORTION. SHALOM SHALOM THERE ARE NO HORIZONS.

LITTLE PEOPLE IN LITTLE HOUSES. LIKE MAGGOTS SMALL BLIND AND WORTHLESS. THE MASSACRED INNOCENT BLOOD STAINS US ALL.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE - YOU FUCKING ARE.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE - YOU FUCKING ARE.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE - YOU FUCKING ARE.
WHO'S REPONSIBLE


Hell I could post like 50 songs by the Manics that are really depressing.

Suicide Is Painless
(written by: M. Altman)

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

[Refrain]:
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

[Refrain]

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.

[Refrain]

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin, but...

[Refrain]

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
"is it to be or not to be"
and I replied "oh why ask me?"

'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you choose.


Ani Difranco
"Dilate"
life used to be life-like
now it's more like showbiz
i wake up in the night
and i don't know where the bathroom is
and i don't know what town i'm in
or what sky i am under
and i wake up in the darkness and i
don't have the will anymore to wonder
everyone has a skeleton
and a closet to keep it in
and your mine
every song has a you
a you that the singer sings to
and you're it this time
baby, you're it this time

when i need to wipe my face
i use the back of my hand
and i like to take up space
just because i can
and i use my dress
to wipe up my drink
i care less and less
what people think
and you are so lame
you always dissapoint me
it's kind of like our running joke
but it's really not funny
and i just want you to live up to
the image of you i create
i see you and i'm so unsatisfied
i see you and i dialate

so i'll walk the plank
and i'll jump with a smile
if i'm gonna go down
i'm gonna do it with style
and you won't see me surrender
you won't hear me confess
'cuz you've left me with nothing
but i've worked with less
and i learn every room long enough
to make it to the door
and then i hear it click shut behind me
and every key works differently
i forget everytime
and forgetting defines me
that's what defines me

when i say you sucked my brain out
the english translation
is i am in love with you
and it is no fun
but i don't use words like love
'cuz works like that don't matter
but don't look so offended
you know, you should be flattered
and i wake up in the night
in some big hotel bed
and my hands grope for the light
and my hands grope for my head
the world is my oyster
the road is my home
and i know that i'm better
off alone

I Am A Rock
Simon & Garfunkel

A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

(Tears for Fears) Gary Jules - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places ; worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere ; going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression ; no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow ; no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday ; happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen ; sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me ; no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me look right through me

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

"Santa Claus is coming to town"

[Rastafari]

Tears for Fears had the ugliest band of all time, beating out all punk groups.
"Santa Claus if Coming to Town" scares me

[truthaddict11]

NIN- something i can never have


"Something I Can Never Have"

i still recall the taste of my tears.
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.

[Chorus:]
come on tell me.
make this all go away.
you make this all go away.
i'm down to just to thing.
and i'm starting to scare myself.
make this all go away.
you make this all go way.

i just want something.
i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now.
this is slowly take me apart.
grey would be the color if i had a heart.
i just want something i can never have.
in this place it seems like such a same.
though it all looks different now,
i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see.
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.

[Chorus]

i just want something.
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have
think i know what you meant.
that night on my bed.
still picking at this scab
i wish you were dead.
you sweet and perry ellis.
just stains on my sheets.

[El Commandante]

I don't know about the lyrics but the music to national anthem by radiohead is so dark that when you put it on loud and close yourself into your room with the lights off and the curtains drawn on a sunny day it can really change the atmosphere whilst you are lying pissed off in a twilight yellow moment. The heavy bass line really has a raw power about it which can really change my mood ... an amazing song.

Also some of Jeff Buckley's songs are faily dark.


I don't think any songs are 'depressing' because with depression what can be a happy occassion for some people can be a depressing one for others. I think that there is only music which can alter your mood to either lighten it or make it darker.

[Goldfinger]

MUTTER

Lyrics ©2001 Rammstein.

Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar
ich zieh sie auf ein weißes Haar
werf in die Luft die nasse Kette
und wünsch mir, dass ich eine Mutter hätte

Keine Sonne die mir scheint
keine Brust hat Milch geweint
in meiner Kehle steckt ein Schlauch
Hab keinen Nabel auf dem Bauch

Mutter

Ich durfte keine Nippel lecken
und keine Falte zum Verstecken
niemand gab mir einen Namen
gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen

Der Mutter die mich nie geboren
hab ich heute Nacht geschworen
ich werd ihr eine Krankheit schenken
und sie danach im Fluss versenken

Mutter

In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
entferne es mit Messers Kuss
auch wenn ich daran sterben muss

Mutter

In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
entferne es mit Messers Kuss
auch wenn ich verbluten muss

Mutter
oh gib mir Kraft




Translation ©2003 Jeremy Williams.

The tears of a crowd of very old children
I string them on a white hair
I throw the wet chain into the air
and wish that I had a mother

No sun shines for me
there was no breast that cried milk
there is a tube that sticks in my throat
I have no navel on my stomach

Mother

I was not allowed to lick any nipples
and there was no fold to hide in
no one gave me a name
fathered in haste and without sperm

For the mother who never gave birth to me
I have sworn tonight
I will send her a sickness
and afterwards make her sink in the river

Mother

An eel lives in her lungs
on my forehead, a birthmark
remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to die

Mother

An eel lives in her lungs
on my forehead, a birthmark
remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if it causes me to bleed to death

Mother
Oh give me strength

How Long is the Night? by Thursday

If we run far away do you think we will ever die?
We'll throw these books in the fire
Can you stop the train
Cause it some delay?
The change machine lied
And it's too late to scream

How long is the night?
It's never over
The ribbon was tied
But the card was never read
The ribbon was crimson
The color of the night

Can you see the handwriting on the walls
And on the autumn leaves that call
"What are we gonna do?"
The trees are giving up on us
The needle and the thread
Won't stitch us to the branch
And the night never ends

I will never sleep again
(I will never even close my eyes)

If the sun is on its way
Then we will never die
And we'll follow these tracks to the sight
Now the lungs collapse
And the air is getting thin
All breath expired
Is too late to heal?

How long is the night?

It's all I ever see anymore
But the day was so bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me
It's all I have to live for

I'm falling down
And you're not here to break my fall
I shut my eyes when you're around
I hold my breath to kill the sound of your voice
I'm falling down.
And you're not here to break my fall




Understanding in a Car Crash by Thursday

Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat of gets caught
These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost
In trying so hard to look away from you
We followed white lines to the sunset
I crash my car everyday the same way

Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins.
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(to take time to break the cycle)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twlight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I dont want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
It's hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye

So push the seats back a little further
Roll the windos down and take a breath
I can see the headlights coming
They paint the world in red and broken glass
The spinning hubcaps set the tempo for the music of a broken window
When the lights are on and the cameras click
We open up the lens to broken glass and it's over in a flash

I'll never understand
Understanding in a car crash

[Politrickian]

Remembering Never - The Moment You've Realized You Are Nothing To Anyone

And I can still smell you on my sheet
And now I know what it feels like to be crushed
And now I know what it feels like to be a novelty
And now I know what it feels like to be drowned
By someone you love
It's all over but I'm still choking on the lies
How can we go on living line after line
I can only stich myself up so many times
How can all this have happened in less than a day
Then again it wouldn't have been the first time you threw us all away
I've waited so long for someone like you
To fill my days with ruin
Every smile is a painful reminder
Of how I let you continue
All the tears in the world could never stop
All the heartbreaking wreckage
You did that
I love that I can't get enough but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't expect it
You've passed me twice but our eyes haven't met again
You turned my world into remnants of blood in my sink
Will you pick up the pieces again?
Or let them fall to ashes in your pretty hands again
You walk all over me
It's all over but im still choking on the lies
You walk all over me
The pain ensues
Knives can only go so deep
You have penetrated the hardest heart
And now I can't help but to return the favor

[Purple]

Away From Me by Puddle Of Mudd


Yeah!
Lies

Look at me now just sitting here by myself
And I think you found someone else
Now I'm gonna have to find a way to put the bottle down
And why can't you see
That I'm drowning in a pool of misery

I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody
I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I'm always afraid that you're lost

So here I am I don't wanna be by myself
And I think you're fucking someone else
Now I'm gonna have to find a way to take the knife out of my back
And how could you leave me
Stranded in a closet full of ?

I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody
I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I'm always afraid that you're lost

Maybe you could let me stay
Maybe just for one more day
You could help me stay the same
Maybe things won't ever change
Maybe we could taste the rain
You could push me out the way

Now I sit here by myself
Think about somebody else
How could you let them take you away from me
There's somebody else (x2)

I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody
I'm always afraid
That you're gone away from me
I"m always that you're

I'm always afraid (x7)

[RAGING BULL]

Dirt in the Ground by Tom Waits


What does it matter, a dream of love
Or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be in the same place
When we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing
Your face or your name
And the wind through your bones
Is all that remains
And we're all gonna be
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky
Or a bird
'Cause hell is boiling over
And heaven is full
We're chained to the world
And we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now the killer was smiling
With nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs
And the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding
They were throbbing, they were red
As he swung out ofver the crowd
I heard the hangman said
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now Cain slew Abel
He killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open
And the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh
Can these dry bones live?
Ask a king or a beggar
And the answer they'll give
Is we're all gonna be
Yea yeah
We're all gonna be just
Dirt in the ground

The Overgrown Eden album by InMe
Every song on the album referes to suicide

[Purple]

Everytime I Die by Children of Bodom

The faint blaze of the candle of my life,
slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain.
No sparks of hope inside,
no shooting stars on my sky.
On broken wings, no flying high...
Another night, another demise...
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
I`ll let the wind blow out the light
cuz it gets more painfull every time I die.

Out of strength to fight,
I cannot take another night.
I cannot take it no more.
Lust of light slips through my fingers
like blood on my arms.
Black candle wax has buried me...

Another night, another demise...
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
i`ll let the wind blow out the light
cuz it gets more painful every time I die.

[Marxist in Nebraska]

The saddest song to me is Staind's "Layne", a tribute to the late Layne Stayley--vocalist for Alice-In-Chains. I love AIC...

i heard today that you were gone
i had to stop and sing along
the song they played to say goodbye
a song they gave, give me back life

[chorus]
you'll never fade
the words you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne

and on that day a child was born
to someone who you helped along
and helped see through his darkest times
because of you, this child she is mine

[chorus]

[bridge]

[this part gets me choked up--MiN]
the words you said, you made me feel like they were all for me
the words you said, they will always be a part of me
the words you said, you made me feel like i was not alone
the words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on

[chorus (altered)]

so to me you'll never fade
your life you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne

[Xvall]

God's away on Business
By Tom Waits

I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck

Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking

There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers

God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over

There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers

God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business

Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal

God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring

God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

Misery's the river of the world
by Tom Waits

Misery`s the river of the world
Misery`s the river of the world

The higher that the monkey can climb
the more he shows his tail
Call no man happy `til he dies
There`s no milk at the bottom of the pail

God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
`round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And you still have room for you and me

If there`s one thing you can say
About Mankind
There`s nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again

Misery`s the river of the world
Misery`s the river of the world
Misery`s the river of the world

For want of a bird
The sky was lost
For want of a nail
A shoe was lost
For want of a life
A knife was lost
For want of a toy
A child was lost

Misery`s the river of the world
Misery`s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Misery`s the river of the world
Misery`s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row!

Mistress by Disturbed

I stand on the brink of your mind
Living inside a nightmare from which
I just cannot awaken
Stand on the edge of your life
Just give me another moment
From which I will never awaken

(Chorus)
Stand on the brink of my own demise
Fallen again from another
Mistress of burden
To idolize
Hoping that one of them will decide
To let me in

To stand on the edge of the knife
Cutting through the nightmare from which
I just cannot awaken
Stand on the edge of the night
Living inside a moment
From which I will never awaken

(Chorus)

Look at what you done to me
You’ve become my enemy
Poisoning the world for me
Take away my everything
Weakened as I am

(Chorus)

[EneME]

ASLEEP [the smiths]

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go


Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore


Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go


There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...


Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...

[Muerto]

"My Immortal" by Evanescence

my immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along

"Hello" by Evanescence

playground school bell rings again
rain clouds come to play again
has no one told you she's not breathing?
hello i'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
hello

if i smile and don't believe
soon i know i'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me i'm not broken
hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide
don't cry

suddenly i know i'm not sleeping
hello i'm still here
all that's left of yesterday

"Understanding (Wash It All Away)" by Evanescence

"You hold the answers deep within your own mind.
Consciously, you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind works.
Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the answer is always there."

(Can't wash it all away)
(Can't Wish it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
(Can't cry it all away)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we idolize
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We're supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

"You're not alone, are you?"
"Never... Never."

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, No

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

(Can't fight it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away

"But the answer is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"Because I'm tired of it too."
"Because I'm tired of it too."
"Because I'm tired of it too."
"Because I'm tired of it too."
"Because I'm tired of it too."

"Field Of Innocence" by Evanescence

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

[EneME]

I love "hello" by evanescence....good choice ;)

[Soul Rebel]

Hurt and something i can never have are definitely the saddest songs ever. To this day i still cannot listen to them without crying. They are really painful songs and have painful memories attached to them for me....

[Tiki Man]

Aqueous Transmission by Incubus
(I felt exactly like this song for several days. It's a slow paced peaceful song, but the lyrics were exactly my mood, and my mood was depressed, lost, lonely, and hopeless. The last minute is many frogs.)

I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their homes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river

Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore or drift into the unknown?

Further down the river

I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we can meet again
Further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view

Further down the river

I'm floating down a river

[nezvanova]

Sister Morphine, The Rolling Stones.

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score

Well it just goes to show
Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the
Clean white sheets stained red.

[elfranck]

Well, the most depressive lyrics are Hurt by NIN for sure, but it has been said already...
So try "I know you" , seems to be Henry Rollins lyrics, put on the music from "A warm place" by NIN


I know you
you were too short
you had bad skin
you couldn't talk to them very well
words didn't seem to work
they lied when they came out of your mouth
you tried so hard to understand them
you wanted to be part of what was happening
you saw them having fun
and it seemed like such a mystery
almost magic
made you think that there was something wrong with you
you'd look in the mirror trying to find it
you thought that you were ugly
and that everyone was looking at you
so you learned to be invisible
to look down
to avoid conversation
the hours
days
weekends
ah the weekend nights, alone
where were you
in the basement?
in the attic?
in your room?
working some job?
just to have something to do
just to have a place to put yourself
just to have a way to get away from them
a chance to get away from the ones that made you feel so strange and
ill-at-ease inside yourself
did you ever get invited to one of their parties
you sat and wondered if you would go or not
for hours you imagined the scenarios that might transpire
they would laugh at you
if you would know what to do
if you would have the right things on
if they would notice that you came from a different planet
did you get all brave in your thoughts
like you were going to be able to go in there and deal with it
and have a great time
did you think that you might be "the life of the party"
that all these people were gonna talk to you
and you would find out that you were wrong
that you had a lot of friends
and you weren't so strange after all?
did you end up going
did they mess with you
did they single you out
did you find out that you were invited
because they thought you were so weird
yeah, I think I know you
you spent a lot of time full of hate
a hate that was pure as sunshine
a hate that saw for miles
a hate that kept you up at night
a hate that filled your every waking moment
a hate that carried you for a long time
yes I think I know you
you couldn't figure out what they saw and the way they lived
home was not home
your room was home
a corner was home
the place they weren't- that was home
I know you
you're sensitive
and you hide it, because you fear getting stepped on one more time
it seems that when you show a part of yourself that is the least bit
vulnerable
someone takes advantage of you
one of them steps on you
they mistake kindness for weakness
but you know the difference
you've been the brunt of their weakness for years
and strength is something you know a bit about
because you had to be strong to keep yourself alive
you know yourself very well now
and you don't trust people
you know them too well
you try to find that "special person"
someone you can be with
someone you can touch
someone you can talk to
someone you won't feel so strange around
and you found that they don't really exist
you feel closer to people on movie screens
yeah, I think I know you
you spend a lot of time daydreaming
and people have made comment to that effect
telling you that you're "self-involved" and "self-centered"
but they don't know, do they
about the long nightshifts alone
about the years of keeping yourself company
all the nights you wrapped your arms around yourself
so you could imagine someone holding you
the hours of indecision
self-doubt
the intense depression
the blinding hate
the rage that made you stagger
the devastation of rejection
well
maybe they do know
but if they do
they sure do a good job of hiding it
it astounds you how they can be so smooth
how they seem to pass through life as if life itself was some divine gift
and it infuriates you to watch yourself with your apparent skill,
and finding every way possible to screw it up
for you, life is a long trip
terrifying and wonderful
birds sing to you at night
the rain and the sun
the changing seasons
are true friends
solitude is a hard won ally
faithful and patient
yeah, I think I know you

[elfranck]

if you ve ever seen the complete video clip of "One" by metallica ( images taken from "Johnny's got a gun"), the lyrics become suddenly really deep...

[Rastafari]

lets see...
"Guide me from my friends" and "That's what they will do" are pretty 'deppressive'

but I guess thats because of how the story ends..

[iwwobblie]

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday - the notorious 'suicide song' - was written in 1933. Its melody and original lyrics were created by Rezsô Seress, a self-taught pianist and composer born in Hungary in 1899.

The crushing hopelessness and bitter despair which characterised the two stanza penned by Seress were superseded by the more mournful, melancholic verses of Hungarian poet László Jávor.

When the song came to public attention it soon earned a reputation as the 'suicide song'. Several reports from Hungary alleged individuals had taken their lives after listening to the haunting melody or that the lyrics had been left with their last letters.

A third stanza with a dreamy twist was added in an attempt to alleviate the pessemistic tone. The suicide reputation remained.

The three stanza were translated into English by Sam M. Lewis. It was his version of the song which was to become the most widely recorded.

As the popularity of the song grew, courtesy of releases by Artie Shaw (1940) and Billie Holiday (1941), so grew concerns about its effect. The song was banned from the playlists of major radio broadcasters around the world. The B.B.C. deemed it too depressing for the airwaves.

Despite the bans, Gloomy Sunday continued to be recorded and sold.

People continued to buy the recordings; some committed suicide.

Rezsô Seress jumped to his death from his flat in 1968.
