[ShadowOfTheDay]

If you're as depressed as me, you can interpret any song as being suicidal.

Here's one that I made one night a few years ago when I was right on the edge. The act of creating something diffused me enough to go to bed and not go through with it then.

"On the eve of these bitter tides
I have come to say goodbye

I know you tried to understand
but really, you didn't stand a chance

Now go, wash your hands of me
Continue down the path
(It goes nowhere)

Remember me for prose and smile
Forget the darkness that sucked me dry

Oh, my thirsty soul supplicates
for reprieve from this fate

Manifested chaos put to rest
Within the void, my only peace"

This has to be my facvorite when I'm suicidal.

Here's some others I come back to.
I'm pretty sure they all deal with mental illness in some way.

And pretty much everything else he's written.

Shadow of the Day--Linkin Park

Oh, I was just thinking about this and if it would be a thread for it and here it is.

A few weeks ago, in part due the Bohemian Raphsody fever-film, I was rediscovering the great Queen music, not to mention the fantastic Freddie Mercury. In that process I found a song I didn't knew, called: Don't Try Suicide.

And contrary what I was expecting, it result, at least for me, being a very "uplifting song" for the melody, lyrics and whole vocal interpretation. It made me laugh (which is pretty much a huge accomplish in this time of my existence here) a bit due the contradictions, when it says "don't try suicide, nobody cares, nobody gives a damn" Lol... because for some of us precisely for that (feeling lonely, not understood or properly loved), among other things, findly look for 'suicide.'

And the chorus is priceless, the way is interpreted by Freddie, kind of sassy or naughty (in a nice way Lol), when he sings "you need heeelp..."

To anyone that don't know this song or haven't listened for a while, give it a chance and enjoy it.

"It's ok, ok, ok, ok..."

Nevermore by nothing nowhere

 

[Raggas]

The whole Nirvana unplugged album feels like a funeral. It's definitely something I listen to when I consider ending my life.

 

[Raggas]

Also, R.E.M.'s album Automatic For the People. It was the last album Kurt Cobain listened to before he killed himself.

The Great Below - NIN

Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ears
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
Time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear

And I decend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away

 

[Final Escape]

Kid Cudi - Swim In The Light

Lil Peep - The Way I See Things

The Cure - Disintegration

Type O Negative - I Don't Wanna Be Me

Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort. Suffocation, no breathing, don't know the rest lol! That song, might be by Disturbed or something. It's angry. It's by Papa Roach.

Right where it belongs - NIN

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass that you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really ought to know
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the ones
Are you hiding in the trees?

What is everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see?
