Most depressing lyric?

[manicfoot]

Fellow escapists,
What do you think is the most depressing lyric ever? For me it is "Oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head" from I Know Its Over by The Smiths. Its apparently about the moors murders and cunjures up heartbreaking images in my head every time I hear it.
Now, your turn

 

[Lord Krunk]

"Sarah... Won't you tell me your name" from the song "Sarah" by Eskimo Joe.

and

"Na na na, na na nana na na na na, na na nana na" in pretty much any song by Kylie Minogue.

They're depressing, but for a different reason.

 

[LilMissEvil]

"Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown" from The Drugs Don't Work, by the Verve.

 

[manicfoot]

Haha..I don't know what to say to those, LordKrunk. I'm crying, laughing and making Kylie Minogue eat her own face all at the same time
LilMissEvil that is also one of my favourites

No idea, i avoid sad songs.

By default sad songs make you sad.

Sad is unenjoyable people, thats right there in the definition.

I like the song by the Verve (if I can remember correctly, it's about his father dying of a terminal illness, hence the drugs not working, but I could be wrong), for that reason it makes me think of my grandfather whenever I hear it.

I just think the cat in a bag line makes it all the more depressing, being a huge cat person.

Other than that, I agree with the Kylie statement. Though the same could be said for all pop artists.

Yes, but people can find comfort in sad songs and they can actually make you feel better when you're going through a bad time in your life.

LilMissEvil you're partially correct. The song is actually about his mother I love cats as well. *sigh* That lyric may actually be my favourite now.

Nah, tearing a guy apart in MK and God of war does that better for me. Sad songs usually make me sadder or just confused.

I always liked

Im never giving in
On - with the show -
Ill top the bill, Ill overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on..."

i wouldn't listen to 'if tomorrow never comes' either.

there's something deeply unhappy about unhappiness... oh wait. but your right, each to their own, i suppose i have always had a gift for walling things up inside.

Fellow escapists,

Agree with you there very powerful lyrics.

But this for some reason has me in tears everytime

"Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die" The Hand That Rocks The Cradle by The Smiths

What? the song or my own crippling emotional barriers

 

[freakyHippo]

Brand New do some pretty good depressing lyrics. I submit:

"Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind." - Guernica

"What they call love is a risk, cause you will always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own." - Play Crack the Sky

"Have another drink and drive yourself home, i hope theres ice on all the roads. You can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, again when your head flies through the windshield" - Seventy times 7 (this one is depressing in context. Its a song written about a betrayal of freindship)

"Last week... kyle quit the band"

Sorry, my tenacious D playlist came on and i'm quoting it left right and centre.

 

[Saskwach]

Not so much a lyric as the music video for One coupled with the lyrics. Man, that destroyed my love of life for a whole day.

Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole:

Bury Me Softly In This Womb
I Give This Part Of Me For You
Sand Rains Down And Here I Sit
Holding Rare Flowers
In A Tomb.....In Bloom

Down In A Hole And I Don't Know
If I Can Be Saved
See My Heart I Decorate It
Like A Grave
You Don't Understand Who They
Thought I Was Supposed To Be
Look At Me Now A Man
Who Won't Let Himself Be

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Losin' Control
I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied

Down In A Hole And They've Put All
The Stones In Their Place
I've Eaten The Sun So My Tongue
Has Been Burned Of The Taste
I Have Been Guilty
Of Kicking Myself In The Teeth
I Will Speak No More
Of My Feelings Beneath

Oh I Want To Be Inside Of You

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Feelin' So Small
Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Out Of Control

I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied
