songs with suicidal themes

[maidens]

hi! I was unsure whether to put this in here or offtopic, but it technically is CTB related so I put it here. mods, it I should've put it in offtopic instead, I'm sorry, let me know if I should repost it there.

making this thread because the majority of, if not all people who use this site are suicidal, and for me it's always felt nice to have things you can relate to. I hope at least a few people can relate to these, only putting in songs with general themes of suicide, but I listen to much more songs with dark themes that aren't just related to CTB, so if anyone wants me to send some, let me know. also, anyone else, please feel free to also share songs with the same themes in here if you want to.

"My R" is one of the most suicidal songs I've heard. Must be hella awkward to sing those lyrics if you have never been suicidal.

Have yall listened to "serotonin" by girl in red?

 

[alterationitfinds]

new flesh by current joys was my most listened to song last year. i think it's the most comforting kind of song about that sort of thing. makes me feel something everytime i listen to it, even today

Siamese Twins, by The Cure

Most of the songs about suicide that I've found usually have a positive twist to stick around and rethink it. But some songs that have resonated with my ideation and feelings of hopelessness are:

My December, Crawling, and Heavy - Linkin Park
Goodbye, I'm Sorry - Jamestown Story
Pig, No Jesus Christ, Fine Again, The Gift - Seether
Recognize - Flaw
Hurt - Nine Inch Nails
Outside, Epiphany - Staind
You Know You're Right, Something in the Way - Nirvana
This Time Imperfect - AFI
Lonely Together - Sofia Karlberg (cover)
Angeles - Elliott Smith
Awful Things - Lil Peep
Like A Stone - Audioslave
Down in a Hole, Nutshell - Alice in Chains

I could go on, but I don't know if my taste in music will resonate with anybody.

Just the covers.

The Downward Spiral (title track) - Nine Inch Nails

 

[Lookoutbelow]

Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse

I don't know that it's about suicide, but Let Down by Radiohead hits different, without fail. It reflects how blatantly uncaring the world can feel at times, and the motif about "growing wings" and it being "hysterical and useless" really resonates--I often feel like an alien, with no idea how to interact or truly find my place in the world. Whether my mood is more hopeful and interpret it more as flying elsewhere, or more as an impossible dream and relieving fantasy in the face of suicide as a last resort, it fits.
It's one of the few songs that still feels deeply relatable and really makes me feel something.

Just the covers.

I see, the cover is good too but if you want to hear it, here's the original

 

[Gonnerr]

Billie eilish, listen before i go.

Take me to the rooftop.
I want to see the world when i stop breathing.
Turning blue.

Linkin park , leave out all the rest

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

It's specifically referring to a suicide bombing but:



The music video (though unrelated to the song) is gorgeous.

You're not invisible, now
You just don't exist

 

[hermestrimegistus]

Suicide is Painless, obviously. The most blatant song about suicide I could possibly think of. Its basically explaining exactly why you should be able to CTB

 

[RW__Asher23]

My ctb date is coming and I was looking for something to say how I feel in a song. Found this. I think it is perfect.
Billie Eilish I posted this one in music thread before when it came out. But this one has no nice end, like try again to live. Oh no. Just sorry and good bye. I like the video that goes with it. Peace.

 

[Cloud Busting]

Oh my god I could be here for ages. I really ought to make a Spotify playlist for this. Here's a few songs:







This one is about failed attempts:





This is where I got my old forum handle from:



Not about suicide but it's a really nice song to ctb to:










And of course, suicide boys haha

Yeah Srry this wasn't just a few songs. I need to make a playlist. Can pm it to anyone if I actually do if you'd like!

Since you shared some vocaloid songs (love TUYU and Kairiki Bear too btw) have you heard of Siinamota/Powapowa-P/Highcolor_SunZ? In 2015 at the age of 20, Siinamota passed away. The circumstances behind his death were never actually revealed, but it is heavily speculated (emphasis on speculated) that he committed suicide. Prior to his death, he released two songs "Good Bye Everyone" and "Please Give Me a Red Pen". The first song's title is pretty self-explanatory, it's meant to be a good bye, the second one is meant to be the singer looking back on their life and marking their mistakes with a red pen. And then a few months after his passing, the song "Healthy End" was released posthumously by his friend/colleague. If you read the lyrics, you're able to see the state his mind was in:

In the summer I said that I don't want to live anymore
But I didn't mean it as "I want to die"
That's what I've always thought until now
Until I had realized "the reason that outshines all others"
-----
My last words, my last words
No matter what they may say, nobody can hold me back
I will continue towards the applause

Regardless of whether he did commit suicide or not, his songs always made me feel seen. Being able to relate so heavily to his music and seeing him "succeed" in life gave me a tinge of hope, that maybe someone like me can survive in this world too. So his death hit me like a truck. I still cry while listening to some of his songs, but there is some relief knowing that his suffering has ended.

Didn't mean to write a whole paragraph but thanks for reading it if you made it this far. I decided to include my first/favourite song (Strobe Light) + his last three songs I mentioned (Good Bye Everyone, Please Give Me a Red Pen, Healthy End).
