Before the great collapse - Jedi mind tricks Report Abuse
If you have ever thought of suicide, or are truly depressed, these songs seem to be reason for depression.. It truly does. Only songs that ever relates to me. two of the deepest songs. if you listen to "before the great collapse", it was his actual suicide note he wrote to his mom. Then he wrote another one saying that he wants to live. Its called "razorblade salvation". 3 of the deepest songs ever.

Reach for the sky- Social Distortion Report Abuse
The message in this song is amazing and i cry every time i hear it. in the lyrics, you not only hear the message, but the pain in Mike Ness' voice- this is one of the songs he wrote after his close childhood friend (Dennis Danell) died. His vocals are very overpowering. Instead of putting this as a 'depressing song', its merely one thats very powerful and never fails to make me cry

The title alone says it...if that doesn't do it, listen to the lyrics: Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All I know is, since you've been gone I feel like I'm drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like I'm drowning, Drowning in a river.

Men of Snow- Ingrid Michaelson Report Abuse
It's actually a very depressing song about how you can live, love and laugh, but in the end, everyone dies and it never really mattered. It's an acceptance of not only her death but also the smallness of her own life in the scheme of the things, so it's an acceptance of life too.

Phantomrider- Tokio Hotel Report Abuse
I don't see why this isn't already on here... it always makes me cry. It's about a guy who fights with his love and then she kicks him out. He takes his stuff and drives away on his motorcycle, and after a little while she realizes she made a mistake, so she goes out to find him. She hears on the news about a motorcycle accident, and as she drives by it she sees her love in the crash. When she rushes over to his side, he's dying. Their last words to each other are "Now I'm here, no more fears, angel don't you cry, I'll meet you on the other side. Goodbye..." It really gets me every time.

Bruno Mars grenade Report Abuse
I am shocked this song isn't on here. I have heard so many depressive music from MCR and other metal to emotions by destiny's child. Even Hurt by christina but this song makes me cry the most... It's a wonderful song but I guess it is new out at the minute. Basically it's about a girl that he thought the world of and would do anything for and he found out she was cheating with another man. Despite this he still loves her and still would do anything for her. In the video he commits suicide. Very sad and makes me cry. Lovely song though. He's got a good voice.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU - SARAH MCLAUGHLIN Report Abuse
On Sept 04 1999, I was 10, my step mother killed my father this was their song, this was also the song playing when I found him laying on the floor in our living room, then again this song was played at the memorial service. I personally cannot listen to this song because it without doubt reminds me of how much I would love to kill the b*tch that killed my father.
