Songs about suicide and/or depression that doesn't have any "Just live no matter what!" bullshit.

[WorthlessMoron]

I was listening to some songs earlier, and then I realized most of the stuff I listen to eventually end with "Just live no matter what!" I checked my playlists and found 4 songs that doesn't end with any "Just live no matter what!" bullshit. Keep in mind if I add up the amount of songs on the playlists I looked at, it's probably be about 400-600 songs. Most, if not all, of these songs are about suicide and/or depression. Not sure if that's a lot, but still kind of disappointed.

So if you know any song about suicide and/or depression that doesn't have any "Just live no matter what!" bullshit then please post it in this thread. Also, the genre doesn't matter.

I'll be putting the songs I found here, and if I find more of them, then I'll post it in this thread too (assuming I remember it...)

 

[Lost Magic]

Don't know if it strictly about suicide but he is singing about no longer being here and how painful and cold life has been. It resonates just the same.

 

[Chinaski]

This, lyrics written by Robert Altman's son to accompany the film MASH. No need for any further discussion imo, a fourteen year-old Californian brat has already nailed it.

 

[FuneralCry]

Funeral Cry by Dark Sanctuary. It is the one that I can relate to the most, and I find it to be quite calming. I have mentioned it in other music threads but it is my favourite piece of music.

Listening to the song for ten seconds should give you a good idea about it.

I promised myself I wouldn't mention it, but if you're familiar with Rate Your Music, I have a list that contains quite a few albums that are exactly like how you described.

Also, the entire album The Will To Death by John Frusciante

Listening to the song for ten seconds should give you a good idea about it.

Yes, this entire album, Giles Corey also. Too bad Dan Barrett demonized suicidal people in his book accompanying the Giles Corey vinyl though... would've expected better from someone claiming to have been there...

you have great taste! I love Vocaloid. Without it I definitely would've killed myself earlier

PowaPowa-P has exactly the kinds of songs you described, his final song "Please Give Me a Red Pen" is just like it. His family didnt reveal how he died but it's presumed that he commited suicide due to his age and the content of his songs. He was really talented.

I think Vocaloid songs are usually more pro-life because they are writren by individuals, usually as a form of self-expression. Big record labels are looking for a profit, and may have multiple unrelated people working together on a song which could change the intention of it.

Mindless Self Indulgence--It Gets Worse

Hey, you, baby
You don't know how bad it's gonna get
If you think shit sucks now
You ain't seen nothing yet
Because it doesn't get better unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better unless you got money
It doesn't get better, so just give up
It never gets better, no
It gets worse

Oh oh oh oh oh, woo hoo hoo
You're gonna die alone
Oh oh oh, shit yeah
It gets worse

Now I'm no psychiatrist, I'm no doctor with no degrees
But it don't take no fucking scientist to figure out that
There is nothing in this world for free
Because it doesn't get better
Unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better, unless you got money
It doesn't get better, so listen the fuck up!
It never gets better, it gets worse
You're gonna die alone
Oh oh oh shit yeah
It gets worse

You're going down the road, the same one that we have
We cannot wait to watch life kick you in your ass
I shed a little tear for all of you out there
There's no way to escape, there's no way to escape
Welcome to hell, welcome to hell, welcome to hell, welcome to hell
Welcome to hell, welcome to hell

Because it doesn't get better
Unless you're pretty
It doesn't get better
Unless you got money
It doesn't get better
So just give up
It never gets better
It gets worse

So long, cruel world
Oh oh oh shit yeah
It gets worse
It Gets Worse

I love seeing Giles Corey, PowaPowa-P AND Shinsei Kamattechan posted here. Fantastic Taste.







I don't think any of these are as direct about dying [Maybe the Vocaloid one] but they are kind of my default..suicide songs? I suppose.

So many things Morrissey. It doesn't quite fit but I love the line in Nowhere Fast, 'When I'm laying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death, and neither one particularly appeals to me'.

[Message In A Bottle]

Song always makes me cry




This ones actually based on a true story.

 

[Al_stargate]

Two horrorcore rap songs, very explicit about suicide.



Chorus lyrics: I don't wanna die tonight, they say committing suicide is like, the best rollercoaster ride of your life, follow me onto the other side.

[MellowAvenue]

I don't know if it's specifically about Suicide but I've always felt this song mocks that "Just live" way of thinking and is why it resonated with me when I heard it…
