Radiohead's No Surprises, How to Disappear Completely, or Motion Picture Soundtrack are up there for me. lots of post punk stuff too. Don't Cling to Life by the Murder Capital is a recent one that comes to mind

[Doemu]

Set it off - I'll sleep when i'm dead

 

[Romeo's Dying Wish]

[Verse 1]
Since your death
Everything has felt
So meaningless and vain
That I've lost the will to live
Love, your death
Ripped my heart right out
And since you went away
Life's had nothing more to give

[Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
Across the dark, into the light
May death again us unite

[Verse 2]
Love, my fate
Will you wait for me there
Where our autumn dawns?
There, beyond the dreary seas
Will you wait?
Will you welcome me
Into your arms once more?
Where our waters still fall free
You might also like

[Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
Across the dark, into the light
May death again us unite

Cross my heart and hope to die
May my end come tonight
I'll depart from this life
May death again us unite

[Post-Chorus]
May it come...

[Outro]
My heart went down with you
At your funeral I was buried, too
My life ... it ended with yours
And I... exist no more

 

[Romeo's Dying Wish]

How much must I curse your name
And put your beliefs to shame
Before you prove yourself
And end this life?

End this life

And I'll say a fucking prayer
Because I know it won't be answered

Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?

And even though I don't believe in you
I pray for the day
I pray for the day that you end this life

So please
Take me
Away

I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down
I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down

Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?

For all the prayers that go unanswered

For all the prayers that go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your eyes

And all your prayers will go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your fucking eyes

 

[RationalGaze]

Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me I cared for and loved
Building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold
I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame
As bottles called my name
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way, please don't forget me
Or cry while I'm away
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change
I won't see you tonight
So far away, I'm gone
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight

 

[Romeo's Dying Wish]

SUICIDE SILENCE - No Pity for a Coward
Dry your eyes
Hide your face with your hands
One last breath
Hold it in

Fuck your past
The future
Is in your hands

Just sit back and relax
Put your fucking shades on
Put that gun to your head
You're a fucking disgrace

Can your God save you now?
Can your God save you now?
Can your God save you now?
Can your God save you now?
Can your God save you now?
Can your God save you now?

You coward
You coward
You coward
You coward

Drowning yourself
In your tears
No one has
Pity for you

Pity for you
Pity for you
Pity for you

Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be?
Pull the trigger bitch

Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be?
Pull the trigger bitch

Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be?
Pull the trigger bitch

Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be?
Pull the trigger bitch

 

[TimetoGo!]

Post Malone-reputation

 

[borderlinee]

Motion picture soundtrack by Radiohead

 

[califtom]

Fade to black - Metallica. The lyrics accurately describe the feelings I go through when I'm suicidal
Paint it black - The rolling stones. The lyrics refer to depression/darkness imo
Multiple Nirvana songs, mainly Something in the way, Dumb, Lithium... Not directly related to suicide but I listen to them cus somehow I relate to Kurt in some ways

I can relate to Kurt too. Lithium described my youth so perfectly it scared me. A great song about ending it all by David Bowie is called "Quicksand" if you've ever heard it before.

 

[archerfish]

Atlantic - Sleep Token
You'd Never Know - Blu Eyes
Healing Hurts - Blue Eyes
Bad Again - Anna Clendening
Ming is a Prison - Alec Benjamin

A lot of Japanese songs with beautiful lyrics, specifically the cover versions by Dazbee and Kohana Lam
The Reason I Wanted to Die - Dazbee

Kohana Lam:
Hated By Life Itself
I'm Proud Just to be Alive
Blooming in the Mud

Some are more depression than straight suicide, but these are all my go to. Japanese ones I listed have English CC.
