Discussion What are song lyrics that have some meaning for you

"What's a lifetime of achievement if I pushed you to the edge. But you were too polite to leave me." - coney island (feat. The National)

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

Johnny Mandel

Through early morning fog, I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it, if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it, anyway
The losing card, I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it, if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin

And suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it, if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be, or not to be?"
And I replied, "Why ask me?"

But suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it, if I please
And you can do the same thing, if you please​

both Goodbye to a World and Everything Goes On by Porter Robinson. i actually was listening to Everything Goes On as i attempted previously, and i plan on listening to it as i die the next time i attempt.

"Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry​

'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side, I said:
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me; I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone, everything goes on."
​

i'm certain the meaning of the song is not supposed to be the way i interpret it, but i don't care. this is a song about depression and suicide to me. it's about desperately trying to say goodbye to those you love, knowing it will hurt them regardless no matter how much you plead with them to let you go.

also bullet by hollywood undead is p good but i feel like it's cliché to say that lmaoo

also top 10 things to do before you die by yonkagor is another fun one. i think ive realized i just like depressing songs that have a very cheery beat.

Levanter - Stray Kids

Never wanted anything as much as you
Never crossed my mind that I could ever lose
I had this picture in my head
Of all the promises you've made
But you turned them into dust
Empty-handed, now I'm lost
I know I gotta let go
With no regrets, you're already gone

I let my dreams tie me down
Is it too late, can I break out?
They say it's darkest of all before the dawn

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (Just don't care)
And now that your weight's come off my shoulders
I realize that I can fly

I needed to find me (Now I know)
The key was inside of me all along
I'm listening to my heart, let it guide me
I feel the light, I feel the light

I never stopped (To find my way)
I always thought (It was a race)
To win it all, and that you were the prize
The closer I got, the more I lost
My soul, it was slowly fading
I'm like the autumn leaves, don't know which way I'm blowing
But it don't matter if it's raining or it's snowing
All of my problems growing smaller when I'm way up here
Any illusions I had left about you disappeared

This is the end of the road
I'm holding out for a new hope
'Cause it's the darkest of all before the dawn

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (Just don't care)
And now that your weight's come off my shoulders
I realize that I can fly

I needed to find me (Now I know)
The key was inside of me all along
I'm listening to my heart, let it guide me
I feel the light, I feel the light

Afraid to let you go
But in my heart, I know
Got to move on, I think it's time
It's all good now

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (Just don't care)
And now that I left it all behind me
I'm flying high, I'm flying high

Badflower - Ghost

I tried it once before but I didn't get too far
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up
I tried it once before and I think I mighta messed up
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough
But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die
But nothing very special ever happens in my life

Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be

I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough
And I shoulda told my mother "mom, I love you" like a good son
But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one

Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah

I tried it once again and I think I might black out
I shoulda left a letter but I had nothing to write about
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up
The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked

Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah

I tried it once again and I think I went too far
The man that I was meant to be
I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart
The man that I was meant to be
I couldn't tell my mother "mom, I love you", I'm a bad son
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one

One that speaks to me is "You Know You're Right", recorded by Nirvana only months before Kurt's suicide (and the final song the band recorded together). To me, it reads like a suicide note. This is only one version of the lyrics - the exact words differ depending on the source, and it's the subject of endless debate among fans.



I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain
Pain
Pain
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right

It's so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
There's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt
Nothin' really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it'd come to this
Things have never been so swell
And I have never failed to fail

I thought their last song was "I hate myself and want to die" from the beavis and butt-head movie.

"This just in, I am a total fucking dumbass
And I've come to the uncomfortable conclusion
I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life in a state
Of constant paranoia
Just let me follow you
And I'll proceed to bang my head on every doorway
And doorframe you see suitable for us to go through
And I've found that the road to happiness
Is paved with rows and rows of very tempting parking spaces
I'm not paranoid, I'm a realist
I know you're gonna kill me"

"Working class hero" lyrics.
