Discussion what's everyone's go to music when they're feeling really suicidal?

[embr3ce2026]

I feel quite edgy posting this lol, but what are some songs/artists/albums everyone listens to when they're really thinking about it? mabye after a really bad day or something? I've just had one of those



mine usually comes from a place of frustration with myself, tempting me to do something really impulsive

 

[LilGhost]

I am not giving my day a chance by starting it with radiohead
Also "do I creep you out" is my go to

 

[RedFruit]

I have a SIWTDT playlist (songs I want to die to) and on shuffle, I got "I don't wanna live" by Kodak black ;)

 

[whitetaildeer]

I kind of despise feeling suicidal, just for the feeling of helplessness it creates, so I tend to drown it out with obnoxious death or black metal. Labyrinthus Stellarum is my go-to and favorite band in general, my favorite song of theirs being Cosmic Plague:


There's the exceptionally rare chance that I do sit with that feeling, though. When I do, I opt for ambient chanting...or whatever you call this genre? I like this song in particular:

 

[mjolnir]

That depends on whether or not I want to deal with those thoughts at the moment, but this is one of the musics I'm hearing right now:

 

[Cube_]

young by vacations....man everytime i listen to this, it feels me with so much sadness


There's this indian song aswell which hits me right in the feels, the vocals are very expressive

 

[chopsueylol]

Alice in chains "nutshell" for sure

 

[Ashu]

Recently I fell lower than I had fallen in many years, and as I was beginning to rise out if it, I went back to Beethoven, my first love. That guy knew despair, he considered suicide. And I feel that you can feel that, listening to him, even if we didn't actually know.

 

[graveflower]

All sorts of music, but tonight specifically is Jack Off Jill.

 

[OkayFine]

Love this thread! Some of mine are Better Off Dead (Sleeping with Sirens), Moon (Eve 6), and You Will Be Okay (from Helluvaboss).

#1 mitski
#2 lana del rey
#3 marina

 

[Aphid]

Anything off perverts by Ethel Cain or Census Designated by Jane Remover

 

[Front Back]

Her sweet voice always keep me going, Love the whole cover but Konayuki, Kiseki, and AiUta are my top to cry with.

 

[seeyoulater26]

Last Words of a Shooting Star

 

[asymptoteofidealism]

Mostly classical music, but also the songs:
Bohemian Rhapsody
I got you babe (sonny and cher)
Here comes my baby (cat stevens)

The upbeat nature of those last two especially helps distract my mind sometimes.

 

[Bowerbird]

 

[ZwartHartje]

It depends really, there's lots of sorrow and despair to be expressed, but there's also wrath and fury.
I had to think of this one I used to play up and down as a teenager and found it back again.
Caution: This is a very nihilistic and SATANIC song though - not for everyone, I guess...
"Forget the Light" by The Crown
