I have a strange request.

I'd like some songs that are thoughtful, encompassing the feeling of trying to reach for the answers, yet sad that so few even try to reach. Got anything that fits this feel?
 
I'm slightly hesitant to answer because I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I'm thinking maybe Virgin Black might be along the lines of what you're looking for. Any specific genre, or just anything that fits your subject matter?

EDIT: @Belligerent's post, Anathema seems like it would be a good rec as well.
 
Summoning - Land of the Dead
Pain of Salvation - Morning on Earth
Dark Tranquillity - My Negation
Opeth - Dire For November
Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonnaise

Not exactly sure if these are what you're looking for, but they evoke pretty strong feelings in myself, similar to what you describe.
 
yeah, try some goth/doom/somber whatever stuff...
Draconian
Paradise Lost
Novembers Doom
Opeth
My Dying Bride
Katatonia
etc
