Love this song

 

[Smellanie]

I love this song because it's about depression and suicide but it doesnt make me feel depressed lol.

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

spring by rammstein.

isn't about suicide exactly - if i recall correctly, it's about a man who climbs on top of a bridge to see the view. a crowd comes in, begging him not to jump, but when he climbs down, they push him to his death.

rammstein songs can be interpreted in multiple ways, which is one of the many things i love about them. for me, this song represents the conflicting natures of man, or rather, how in the end, all humans are just sinful creatures. they pretend to be nice, but at the end of the day they would rather see you dead.

There is no English translation. If someone wants, I will think about translating it.

Oh, shit. Olivia O'Brien - Empty.

This hit me a bit hard.

One that also got to me some is Habits, Tove Lo. Really seemed to describe my reliance on substances because of my lack of fulfillment in life.

I'm always sorry to post music that most of us will probably hear on say low-fi equipment, but ... hark to the guitars!

This song crosses my mind multiple times per day. My job involves removing or painting over graffiti/tags. I want think about painting it all black.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Got a few:



"All my anxiety,
Now it's taking control of me..."

This song sounds kind of upbeat but the lyrics are clearly about anxiety...albeit at a surface level...



"To the pressure,
Everything's just like
An illusion,
I'll be losing you
Before long"

This is another song that can evoke a sense of being trapped and wanting to escape a fake reality. It's a remix of 'Supporting Me' from Sonic Adventure 2 except notably, this version never uses the actual words "Supporting Me".



Not gonna quote the lyrics here since they speak for themselves... This scene was probably the only good thing about Amazing Spider-Man 2 but that's just my opinion.



"I live. In a constant state of fear, and misery.
Do you miss me, anymore?
And I don't even notice when it hurts
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore..."

The chorus part from Filthy Frank's "Fried Noodles" music video. Shit like this is the main reason I gained a lot of respect for this YouTuber.



These lyrics also say it all even though the song actually sounds super upbeat too. This is another Filthy Frank song, though the success of this album led to him being able to focus on making more serious music as Joji. Personally I like this type of song more than his Joji music since it's very clear what the message is.



"Give me reasons we should be complete.
You should be with him, I can't compete."

This Joji song however I feel gets the melancholy mood of "Help" while actually sounding like something to wind down to.



This song is a major spoiler for the Steven Universe Movie, if that concerns you in any way...i listen to this song when I think of all the people who've abandoned me either physically or mentally.

Strawberry wine from Massive internal complications.
Big mistake from Natalie Imbruglia.
La soledad from Laura Pausini
Como hemos cambiado from Marta Sanchez

This popped up in my head when I read the title:

 

[Isadeth]

Song about a pt on hospice and there's no hope but he tries and tries to make her last moments bearable. Unfortunately his efforts are met with realizing regardless of what he does, she's going. It's hauntingly beautiful. ♡

 

[CatabolicSeed]

The Scary Jokes have a lot of relatable lyrics.

From their song "Icicle"--

Ah yes, good ettiquite demands
I remain soft and accessible in the face of my own ending
So I will try to be discreet
In the face of my full-blown implosion I'll stay golden and retreat

 

[Dnz4ever]

A funny thing happened by the glorious sons

 

[Leech]

Maybe Autre Temps by Alcest
I'm not 100% sure the song is about death but it does seem so based on the lyrics
Here they are with English translation for my non french speaking folk <3
It's so serene and sombre. When my friend passed away I listened to this A LOT.


OH and One Last Goodbye by Anathema, same explanation as the prior.

Listen before I go- Billie Eilish
Sleep -citizen two very different ones. But yeah. When I found my best friend who did a partial, he was playing vice grip by parkway drive

 

[MrAsclepius]

Listen before I go is a great song. Its one of the only songs I like by billie.

This version I listened to for days leading up to an overdose I did back in early december. I dont remember much but I fainted with it playing and couldnt do anything but listen until I went fully unconcious.

 

[alexit]

I love to scream sing this
My favorite


"In my life I have seen people walk into the sea just to find memories plagued by constant misery. Their eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground. Their eyes cast down"


Powerful music video

This was recorded four days before Ian Curtis hung himself!.





Caressing the marble and stone,
Love that was special for one,
The waste in the fever I heat,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Body that curls in and dies,
And shares that awful daylight,
Warm like a dog round your feet,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Hangman looks round as he waits,
Cord stretches tight then it breaks,
Someday we will die in your dreams,
How I wish we were here with you now.
