The entire Piano Man song by Billy Joel. You can't pick a specific line with that song because every line has something to do with failure and hopeless dreams.
Most depressing lyric?

Shame on us
We knew from the start
May god have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we have done
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones
'Zero Sum' - Nine Inch Nails
I sometimes sing this at work. I get allot of funny looks from customers.

Got me there. I really like their third album and the second one isn't bad. As for emo hate, its just 'kids these days' nonsense. Sinatra and most of his generation absolutely loathed rock and roll. Few these days would dare disparage Elvis in any way other than saying hes overrated. Times change, thats all. NIN and Radiohead don't get allot of airplay these days do they?SenseOfTumour said:
Hey, first post ;D
The most depressing lyrics for me would have to be R.E.M. 'Everybody Hurts'. My dad ran that behind a home made photo slideshow/home video thing he made for a mates funeral with his video camera. I watched the video cassette but never actually went to the funeral (I was only like 9). My mum makes my dad change the channel whenever the song comes on now.
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

Vera by Pink Floyd. It's that depressing after listening to Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again."
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?

Lucky by Radiohead:
I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll
This time, I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah, kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
The Head of State has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
It's such a mournfully pesimistic song.

Hate to be a nitpicker, but I have to say, Everybody Hurts is supposed to be happy (which is why I wonder why they use it on so many charity adverts lol).That_Stevens_Guy said:
He's saying that no matter how bad things get and how alone you feel, you're never alone and don't give up ("Don't throw your hand") because, to quote, "Sometimes everybody cries"
Sure he's talking about sad situations, but he's saying it in a positive sense, like he's trying to tell you everything will get better.
EDIT: Forgot to say that despite that, I do agree with you XD
"Nobody likes you, everyone left you, they're all out without you, having fun."

They played Hurt from NIN back in the days The Downward Spiral came out. Remember the days when MTV actually PLAYED MUSIC VIDEOS? 120 Minutes, witch later became Alternative Nation? hell they even used to play it in Headbangers Ball as far as I can recall. The video was pretty cool too, they had this huge projection right front of the stage showing time-lapse videos of rotting dead animals and other odd nature moments.Frosk said:

I had to post a link because the entire song is just depressing.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here
Creep : Radiohead
I was thinking about rickrolling, and then thought about how unfunny it would be afterward.
Maybe not the saddest, but still melancholy:
The first part of A day in the Life by the Beatles:
I read the news today oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, i just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords
I saw a film today oh, boy
The english army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But i just had to look
Having read the book
I love to turn you on.

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out, it wears her out.
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out, it wears him out.
It wears him out, it wears him out.
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love.
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out, it wears me out.
It wears me out, it wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
Oh, oh.
Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead, a song so sad even Thom Yorke cried while recording it.

I've always avoided "Brick" by the Ben Folds Five because of the lyric "Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone, than I ever have before."
And also because it's a really depressing song.
I avoid "Major Tom" by Bowie because, whether or not it's about being a junkie, as I kid I always figured it was about an astronaut dying in space, and it still saddens me to think about it. But I can't pick out one specific lyric.

"and Yoooooooooooooooooou and IIIIIIII, there's a new laaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeannnnnnd!" Kingdom Hearts Passion, english version, the Japanese version is amazing, but the lyrics they used for english. >_> They try to make the word "land" an 8 syllable word...
