[262653]

This song antagonizes suicidal thoughts instead of survival instinct or mental health institutions, but I like it nonetheless.

A classic (though I don't relate to the love part)

[MYStERY_Man]

Disclaimer: first two might be too heavy for the average ears.

Ripping from me is this haunting admission, so daunting
A complete jealousy of the recently dead
The deepest of all admirations, so foul
Of who'd choose to aim bullets for the hinds of their heads

Have you ever tasted it?
Metallic barrel placed in it?
Do you possess the gall to pain all those in life you've touched?

Failure, I renounce our tenure
This venture has drained me
I ask thee grant self murder's bliss
My conscience has begged me to end this horrendousness
Wrap rope so tightly 'round my neck and twist

Suicide be my guide
The only thing I will get right in this life
My appeal shall not be denied
My place - now secured
My home - the other side

I never belonged here
I never did ask if I could join this world collapsed
A hell hath awakened and now I choose sleep
So let this razor get the better of me

Suicide be my light
The only wrong I stand to right in this life
To the ear of the Reaper confide
His blade offers mercy
May it tear me wide

I never belonged here
I never did ask if I could join this world collapsed
My hell hath awakened and now I choose sleep
So let this gesture do the talking for me

Dear Mother and Father, now look what you've made
More eager fodder for the depth of a grave
For the sweet gift of life you've both bestowed upon me
You'll wish that you'd felt inclined to keep the fucking receipt

Somewhere there's a garden of everlasting love within me
But I fear that all you can see are the scars that grace my skin
These lightless walks will chafe us and just the drugs keep us warm
People feel so lonely in the dark, I feel so lonely in the light

I feel so sad about the people
That never made it behind the bars of their hometown
That never saw these bottomless depths
That never walked these mires, I have walked

Worth the pain that has burned me and scarred my soul
For having been allowed to walk where I have walked
Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth and back again
Under, far beneath, through it, in it… …and above…

My dear, the concept of "home" is such a vague notion
As I can't stay in the same place for more than three days
Once you told me, that I'll never find home without leaving
But now I saw so many places, I at least forgot them all
So I'm lying in my bed, in my house
And all I want to do is to go home…

I had to promise them that I won't go, but nevertheless I will leave
I'd like to think they must have known that I would do this one day
So I hope to arrive at my burial late, psychotic and wasted
'Cause when it's about death, I feel nothing at all
Nothing but anticipation
Nothing at all

And I will never regret all the wounds you inflicted on me
'Cause another two of these scars and the world is dead

For how I harmed you my dear… …I am sorry…
But as this last summer passed I could no longer bear the pain
This was our last autumn and I'll take the blame
…I'm so fucking sorry… …but that's how it ends…

Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight

Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved

It's building up, inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name, I won't see you tonight

Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away

Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change
I won't see you tonight

So far away, I'm gone
Please, don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone, everything will be alright

No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight

I really like this one since it essentially embodies what I would want after suicide, it would be very nice.
This one is essentially a big fu to god and it is also one of my personal favorites.

[Deleted member 23586]

I remember listening to this song for the first time. I had candles on, I was in the tub just spacing out and this came on. It was so wonderfully woeful. I played it on repeat for an hour just laying there hoping the pain would melt away.

"pull the trigger, and realise, that seats aren't easy to clean.
'cause it'll be a tuesday."

 

[TheLostCause]

[Weary Soul]

This is a song about loving someone and a breakup I think. However, when I listen to it, I hear my relationship with life not a person.

<3

 

[SuicideBoys93]

I love this song. Helps me when the lows want to go lower.

 

[Weary Soul]

This version of Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. To me, the yellow brick road is life, and these lyrics in particular resonate very deeply:

"So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl...."​

​

"Oh, I've finally decided my future lies, beyond the yellow brick road"​

 

[Redrum]

Asleep by the smiths

 

[Symbiote]

"So when you leave this Earth....."

 

[Nicebuddimtim]

Love me some doom
