Favorite suicide/depression songs?

[MAIO]

I recently found I choose death. I love it.Any song recommendations?

 

[Caerula]

If you are feeling alone (Sopor Aeternus - No One Is There):

If you feel a little hopeless (Matt Eillot - Prepare For Disappointment):


Both artists have so so many other good songs. If I were to write down each one of them this post might not fit in one page XD

 

[Sonnenblume]

The second song is my life, No One Is There, indeed. But even when they were, they weren't really.

 

[never getting better]

Joy Division - Insight
David Bowie - Rock N Roll Suicide

Both have different perspectives. But both are words I can relate to and mean something to me.

 

[handelistahurstiin]

Lil Peep - Lil Kennedy

 

[typx]

Gary Jules - Mad World.

Shout out to Donnie Darko!

 

[Malice1]

Lil Peep - Lil Kennedy

I knew lil peep would show up in this thread.

 

[LaughingandSmiling]

Until Then - Prozac
Suicide Note - Kyle Spratt
I’m Sorry - Joyner Lucas

 

[Temporarilyabsurd]

The Cure - All cats are grey.

Gorecski (?) Symphony of sorrowful songs.

 

[AnnonyBox]

Not sure if it qualifies, but "We Fly So Close" by Phil Collins is on my playlist for whenever I get hit really hard with a depressive mood. Its about life regrets, and how close we come to destroying ourselves on a near constant basis. I'm sure the song had something to do with his marriage breakup at the time as well, but I always listen to it from an 'unfulfilled life' perspective.

Until Then - Prozac
Suicide Note - Kyle Spratt
I’m Sorry - Joyner Lucas

I hate Kyle Sprat suicide note. I am not choosing death because I can't picture myself as a grown man. Whatever the fuck that means.

 

[Fylobatica]

"One More Light" by Linkin Park, even though it's supposed to have a somewhat uplifting message

 

[Temporarilyabsurd]

Gary Jules - Mad World.

Shout out to Donnie Darko!

Sublime.
Darko fan from the first moment of seeing it .

 

[Serepta]

Black eyed dog - Nick Drake

 

[deflagrat]

From The bridge (documentary about suicide).

 

[DF90]

Talking to Myself - Watsky
Tears to Diamonds - Watsky

Both are pretty good.

 

[0blivi0n]

If I'm To Die - Keaton Henson
Sinking Man + I of The Storm - Of Monsters & Men
Car Radio + Migraine + Taxi Cab + A Car A Torch A Death + Anathema - twenty one pilots (do these count?)
Some instrumental stuff which could be seen as 'depressing' be Happiness Does Not Wait & So Far by Olafur Arnolds also his For Now I Am Winter album.

A Better Place, A Better Time - Toh Kay

Help - Pink Guy

 

[ImNotBatman]

A Better Place, A Better Time - Toh Kay

Is There No Truth In Beauty - Just Surrender
Time In A Bottle - Jim Croce
Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley
Spacebound - Eminem
Follow You - Bring Me The Horizon
I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Deathcab For Cutie
I could go on forever....

Bye bye johnny with return
First time i hear it i started to cry not only did johnny have friends they missed him amd he got to die i was so envy of him

 

[Imaginos]

I could list a few, but I've always found this one in particular to be quite a tuneful & sorrowful thing.

As an aside, what about the silliness of anti-suicide songs? Take this one for instance. I mean, is Maynard really this clueless? I like the song and the album as a whole is quite good, but it's always made me roll my eyes a bit. Come to think of it, a lot of even Tool's songs basically boiled down to. "Hey you! Depressed, addicted person who's in pain! Fuck you! Worthless piece of shit!" (eg. Swamp song) Then again, I never really got in to Tool that much, so maybe it's just me painting broad strokes.

I’m not sure if this classifies as depressing/suicidal but I like
Rolling Girl- Hatsune Miku
Her Last Words- idk who wrote it

 

[FakeNews]

Heard this on the radio yesterday. I like it.

 

[redandwhitedog]

Don't Let's Start by TMBG.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

I had posted this song on Time To Go on Reddit

Staind-Something To Remind You

 

[Wheelofdawn]

 

[AveryConure]

I'm planning on when i'm about to ctb is just listen Pink Floyd's The Wall album and then when the final song stops playing it's basically the cue to deck the halls with my brain.

Another cliched answer: Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

 

[Santiago]

Daughter, Jose Gonzalez, Ben Howard, Joyner Lucas, Bon Iver, etc...

Oh and this one by Poodieville

 

[jethacan]

Senses Fail - Lifeboats
Senses Fail - Ali for Cody
Senses Fail - Lost and Found

The 3 albums with these songs on are overall good. Also:

Xxxtentacion - I spoke to the devil in miami

Hurt, but Johnny Cash's cover. Even Trent Reznor has said that is Johnny Cash's song now. He pwned it.
