Depressing lirics.

hi - am making a music to sob to CD at the moment - My Immortal is such a good song, if you're in that place (lyrics below) i also have Nothing Else Matters - Metallica, a lot of REM, and First Cut is the Deepest, sheryl Crow version (me being a girlie and all)

I'm so tired of being here,
Supressed by all my childish fears,
and if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave,
Cause your presence still lingers here,
and it won't leave me alone,

These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase,

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
But you still...have...all of me,

You used to captivate me,
by your resignating mind,
now i'm bound by the life you left behind,
Your face it haunts,
my once pleasant dreams,
your voice it chased away,
all the sanity in me,

These wounds won't seem to heal,
this pain is just to real,
there's just too much that time cannot erase,

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still...have...all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone,
but though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along,

When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still...have...all of me

The Smashing Pumpkins > Famous for melodic music

{ Tonight Tonight }

time is never time at all

you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

and our lives are forever changed

we will never be the same

the more you change the less you feel

believe, believe in me, believe

that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain

we're not the same, we're different tonight

tonight, so bright

tonight

and you know you're never sure

but you're sure you could be right

if you held yourself up to the light

and the embers never fade in your city by the lake

the place where you were born

believe, believe in me, believe

in the resolute urgency of now

and if you believe there's not a chance tonight

tonight, so bright

tonight

we'll crucify the insincere tonight

we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight

we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight

the indescribable moments of your life tonight

the impossible is possible tonight

believe in me as i believe in you, tonight

Unforgiven - Metallica
Strange Glue - Catatonia
Drugs Don't Work - The Verve
Something In The Way - Nirvana

this one depresses me cos it pretty much described something which happened to me a while back. its a cool song though.

Adema-Close Friends

Today you told me that I'd hate you forever
I can't believe what's really going on
Somehow I knew that you felt guilty for something
But tell me why you do this to me
Today you told me that I'd hate you forever
I can't believe that you'd wreck my life

I was betrayed, how can you say that you feel sorry inside
It's devastating, losing close friends
I've gone away, you make me stay but I can't tell it from lies
I've gone insane, losing close friends

Today I made the worst mistake
I put my trust into someone I don't know
And now I know because you've done everything possible to me
Made me so upset
And now I know just who to trust because you're laying in bed
You're thinking 'bout all that ****ed up shit

I was betrayed, how can you say that you feel sorry inside
It's devastating, losing close friends
I've gone away, you make me stay but I can't tell it from lies
(Lies)
I've gone insane, losing close friends

I'm so weak
The closeness of your skin
The smell of this place
Makes me go insane

You make me go insane

I was betrayed, how can you say that you feel sorry inside
It's devastating, losing close friends
I've gone away, you make me stay but I can't tell it from lies
I've got insane, losing close friends

Losing close friends

My fave depressing lyrics are from my beloved manic street preachers. The song is about an anorexic girl and is called 4st. 7lb. It ends with this lyric:
Self worth scatters, self esteems a bore
I long since moved to a higher plateau
this disciplines so rare so please applaud
just look at the fat scum who pamper me so
yeah 4st 7, an epilogue of youth
such beautiful dignity in self abuse
I've finally come to understand life
through staring blankly at my navel.

Listen to Alice in Chains. Layne Staley is the prince of darkness. RIP Layne.

at the end of the movie two towers (lotr), "gollum's song" played, it was so sad and depressing. makes a person want to hurt themselves or commit suicide or something. (don't take me seriously on those.) travis said that song "back to life" made him want to kill someone, not for real of course! just depressing is all.

its not that depressing but i think
evanescence - last breath
evanescence - tourniquet

evanescence - my last breathe

Hold on to me love.
You know I can't stay long.
All I wanted to say was I love you,
And I'm not afraid (Ahhh)
Can you hear me ?
Can you feel me in your arms ?

(chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself.
Are all my thoughts of you ?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

I'll miss the winter.
A world of fragile things.
Look for me in the white forest,
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me.
I can taste it in your tears.

(chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself.
Are all my thoughts of you ?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

Closing your eyes to disappear.
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there!

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid.
Calling me,
Calling me,
As you fade to black.

(chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself.
Are all my thoughts of you ?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

Holding My Last Breath.
Safe inside myself.
Are all my thoughts of you ?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

evanescene - tourniquet

I tried to kill the pain,
But only brought more.
(So much more)
I lay dying,
And I'm pouring
crimson regret, and betrayal.

I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.

Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

Do you remember me;
Lost for so long?
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?

I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.

Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

(Return to me salvation)
(I want to DIE!)

My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.

My wounds cry for the grave.
My soul cries for deliverance.
Will I be denied?
Christ! Tourniquet! My suicide.

(Return to us salvation)
(Return to us salvation...)

thats more like whining 😖 but good lyrics..i thought all thier lyrics i crap

Every song on The Soul Cages by Sting reeks of despair and bitterness - especially "Island of Souls," "All This Time," "Why Should I Cry For You," "The Soul Cages," and "When The Angels Fall."

Island of Souls

Billy was born within sight of the shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun
And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night, and he'd dream of a future,
Of money he never would save

Billy would cry when he thought of the future
Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched the great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee

What else was there for a ship-builder's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town

Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies

And Billy would cry when he thought of the future
Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live

What else was there for a riveter's son?
A new ship to be built, new work to be done
That night he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town,
A Newcastle ship with no coals
They would sail to the island of souls

All This Time

I looked out across
The river today
Saw a city in the fog
And an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
Saw the sad shire horses
Walking home in the sodium light
two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night

All this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
To the sea.

Two priest came round
Our house tonight
One young, one old,
To offer prayers for the dying,
And To serve the final rite
One to love, one to teach
Which way the cold wind blows
one Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows

All this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
To the sea.

If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man
I'd bury him at sea

Blessed are the poor
For they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor
Than be a fat man in the eye of a needle
As these words were spoken
I swear I hear the old man laughing
What good is a used up world,
And how could it be worth having?

All this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
like a silent tear.

All this time
The river flowed
Father, if Jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Teachers told us
The Romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple on the edge of the
Empire garrison town
They lived and they died
They prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled
Till all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found

All this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
They only get better one by one
One by one
One by one, by one
One by one

I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog
And an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
Saw the sad shire horses
Walking home in the sodium light
Two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night

Why Should I Cry For You

Under the dog-star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North-north-west, the stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
Why should I, why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling
For all my days remaining

What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I? Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
'I loved you in my fashion?'
What would be true?
Why should I, why should I cry for you?
Why should I cry?

The Soul Cages

The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nest
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie

Where is the fisherman, where is the goat,
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat?
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
Where is the child with his father's eyes?

He's the king of the ninth world
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
These are the souls of the broken factories
The subject slaves of the broken crown
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
These are the souls of the broken town
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke
The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
'You will drink what I drink
But you must equal me,
And if the drink leaves me standing,
A soul shall go free'

'I have here a cask of most magical wine
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'

'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
One less soul in the soul cages
One last curse on the fisherman's lips

These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages
These are the soul cages

And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town
A Newcastle ship with no coals
They would sail to the island of souls

When The Angels Fall

So high above the world tonight
The angels watch us sleeping
And underneath a bridge of stars
We dream in safety's keeping
But perhaps the dream is dreaming us
Soaring with the seagulls
But perhaps the dream is dreaming us
Astride the backs of eagles
When the angels fall
Shadows on the wall
In the thunder's call
Something haunts us all
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

Take your father's cross gently from the wall
The shadow still remaining
See the churches fall, in mighty arcs of sound
And all that they're containing
Yet all the ragged souls of all the ragged men
Looking for their lost homes
Shuffle to the ruins from the levelled plain
To search among the tombstones
When the angels fall
Shadows on the wall
In the thunder's call
Something haunts us all
When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

These are my feet
These are my hands
These are my children
And this is my demand
Bring down the angels
Cast them from my sight
I never want to see
A million suns at midnight
Your hands are empty, the streets are empty
You can't control us, you can't control us anymore
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

the lead singer screams in some songs, but not all... i highly recommend "lover i don't have to love" and "a perfect sonnet"

😍 "Lover I Don't Have to Love." Great song.

Non Zero Possibility is probably my favorite depressing song by At The Drive-In. It was probably written without the intention of being sad, but I still find it sad.

"I'm just tired of counting bodies,
Is this mausoleum tardy,
Let's just paint you a pretty face...."
