Post the most bleak, depressing lyrics you can think of.

Insomnium - The Day It All Came Down

From now on there's an abscence of smile

Foul voices welcome me to loneliness
Graceful tunes on her lips have now ceased
This winter's here to surpass all the hopes
And dreams succumb to nightmares and freezing air

Now lonely is my road, path paved with bitter thoughts
Conception of beauty excluded from this heart
Within closed doors no-one speaks, behind barred windows no soul lives
As I walk the soil beneath my feet is crumbling...

She was my sun and now the light has faded away
Night condensing around me, leading astray
Shining image torn down, remembrance of her fades
Left but anguish and shame to haunt me in the shades

Should I be content with the memory of the life I had?
Or is the Hell knowing what we could have beome?
- Quite indifferent as the tides of time have now turned
And the past is buried in a drift of whirling snow

...White sheet covering all things left behind...

And from now on there's an abscence of hope...

She was my sun and now the light has faded away
Night condensing around me, leading astray
Shining image torn down, remembrance of her fades
Left but anguish and shame to haunt me in the shades

So be it, perdition is my home,
Since the day it all came down​
 
I think about life and feel pure hate about being trapped here on this earth
Envying all deceased souls who've passed on from this ruined plane
My dormant hours are filled with fear, my waking hours I will not face
All will to life has expired
I just want to fucking die!

The thought of life reviving is nothing but pure illusion
This impulse to end my life keeps on echoing through my mind

Wishing that I had the strength to extinguish the whole of mankind
I know that this goal of mine will never ever be attained
I hate this fucking human race for what they have all done to me
Driven to this destructive state
Guided by insanity!

The thought of life reviving is simply just pure illusion
This impulse to end my life keeps on echoing through my mind

My cries for help have gone in vain
No need to endure this endless strain
My screams of pain seem devoid of sound
Comfort in death I now have found

Silently pondering... "Why do I continue on with this life?"
Silently wondering... "When I die, will anyone even notice my demise?"






ABYSSIC HATE ftw
 
Dunno if this has been posted yet. Anyway, Rapture - The Great Distance:

a noise quieter than a dying breath
mirrors on the blank side of the paper
a need to control this suicide
something i'll never quite understand

what would heal these holes
marks left by the feeding needle
tonight the bullets turn into keys
and we escape

this was the day of losing control
a sea of silence is where i go
stuck somewhere between a blink and a tear
and the great distance

what would heal these holes
marks left by the feeding needle
tonight the bullets turn into keys
and we escape

maybe it was just a ghost of a voice
i thought i once heard
maybe nothing of the like
maybe it was just a memory
i thought i saw creeping by
maybe nothing

what would heal these holes
marks left by the feeding needle
tonight the bullets turn into keys
and we escape

I usually don't dig openly suicidal song but this comes across as frank and not at all emo/dramatical
 
Type O Negative- Death in the Family lyrics.

Not long ago but far away
A rainy winter's day
All her pain she kept inside
Could no longer hide

No cry for help
She killed herself
Both life & love could not be saved
She took them both to the grave

To the grave

A pair of souls become undone
Where were two now one
Devided by this wall of death
I soon will join you yet
With my blood I'll find your love
You found the strength to end you life
As you did so shall I

Oh no
Please don't go
Please don't go

It's like a death
Death
A death in the family

Don't you die

A crimson pool so warm and deep
Lulls me to an endless sleep
Your hand in mine - I will be brave
Take me from this earth
An endless night - this, the end of life
From the dark I feel your lips
And I taste your bloody kiss

Oh no
Please don't go

Oh no
Please don't go

Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't
Please don't
Go

It's like a death
A Death
Death in the family

It's like a death
A Death
Death in the family

Don't die on me
Don't die on me
Don't die on me
Don't die
 
Off of "Come To Grief" 1994

Earthworm

I feel dejected
A lonely future of failure
And I'm growing
Very angry

I slither in the
Dirt and mud
Because that's where
I belong

I'm fucking miserable
And worthless
No self-esteem

And it sometimes hurts

I slither in the
Dirt and mud
Because that's where
I belong

Earthworm
Earthworm
Earthworm
I'm a lot like you

I was taught to love
But I learned to hate
Bisect me
I will regenerate

Rapture :rock:

I also like their lyrics on "Gallows":

You drift away in a bitter dusk by scattering the snow that held
angel-like images in our blurry memories of childhood.
escaping every when, who or why
ebony eyes disappeared
i cannot longer bear this as it revels in my misery

if only i didn't care, i'd smile and merrily wave my hand goodbye
my possessions are gone, there is no point to go on
our foolish intents built my future plans
i can't go forwards or back
i am stuck in a forever dying moment

more ...i sway here forevermore
until lovely gaia is burnt to the core
you'll find me at the gallows

i sleep by the gallows in complete solitude that i used to cherish
but now my visions are clear and solarsigns in a nebular hill
cast a fallen morningstar right behind me and it sighs:
"you won't feel a thing, it is only great relief
so slit your wrists open by this"

begone at the silent shores.
shine on! this is the end of the world
all beauty is lost and so is all you had ever abhored

and i raise my blindfold gaze
a night mare of ending my life becomes a part of
this miserable joy of reality
to sell my fortune
to leave them all behind
to hide all the trails as i never existed
nothing remains irrelevant in these murky chambers...
dark and dismal chambers of agony

a cruel gathering of tragedies lead our way to the dreamscapes
where they feed the rope by our necks
no feet on this solid soil but a floating silhouette
against the setting sun
by gravity lifeforce flows slowly away
it is silent at the gallows again
 
Against All Gods
By: The Wounded
album: The Art Of Grief

Before you preach and rape our thoughts.
Hear our appeal against all gods.

On this stage to many wounds were delivered
By tragedy players in lovelorn flesh bound.
Brought forth a tragedienne with bleeding wrists,
Desperately seeking for wounds not yet found.

Bought forth now an angel, crusader of light.
A dark bearing knight for heaven to fight.
This infinite soul, wrapped deep in his grief,
Yet he gave up his Christian belief

Oh come forward men of religious lies,
Show us your face, remove your disguise,
Not to heaven but to those on earth.
Against all gods, against your word.

Our sons have died in your Christian wars,
To bring bible words onto foreign shores.
Not wine as blood, but blood as wine,
Now the Catholics fall, our souls will shine.

Oh god hear our cries, and stop these wars,
There are humans who have lost their faith... in you.
There are children who have lost their lives... for you.
There are angels who have lost their wings... for you.
And what have you,.. in return,.. for them.

And now the time has come for you,
To make things right...
Here on earth...
For us...

How true are these lyrics?
 
those who said alice in chains' dirt on this thread have won...well, so far.

this thread needs some proper, manly, mature depression:

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.


king crimson - epitaph

and here's another...a bit more on the personal side:

Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone, illusion has begun
No way to prepare, impending despair

Did one say so cruel: "Tis better to love than lose"
Ignorance is bliss - wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned, this lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire - liar

Betwixed birth and death, every breath regret
I pity the living, envy for the dead
Emotionally stunned, in defense, I'm numb
I'd rather not care than to be aware - be scared

I don't need love

Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser

World renowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia

I don't feel anything.
