The cold - exitmusic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgpvh5CWtz4
--
A cold arm returns the stolen.
A new start erased.

A red light came pouring.
An early fall descended.

Hey, you are alone.
You are alone.

Hey, you are alone.
You are alone.


I read it in the paper.
Hey, you are alone.
You are alone.

Other than this song,
I've been silent and stoic.
Crazy, I denied you so.
Sing another song...

MAD WORLD [gary jules]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world, world
Enlarge your world [alt. "Halargian world"]
Mad world

Pearl Jam--Crazy Mary (the song is a cover but the Pearl Jam version is the only one I'm familiar with):

Quote:
She lived on the curve in the road in an old tar paper shack.
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks.
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side.
Wild eyed crazy Mary.

Down a long dirt road past the Parson's place.
That old blue car we used to race.
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side.
Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd.

Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around...

One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside her windowsill.
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees over the hills.
Looked down into the house of Mary.

Bare bulb on Newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all.
Oh... Oh... Oh...

Next morning on the way into town saw some skid marks and followed them around.
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary.
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway.

Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around.



Those last two lines alone are the stuff of nightmares to the point of actively helping to keep my life in check.

Agnus dei

miserere nobis.


Translation:

Lamb of God,
who takes away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.


Quote:
Andreas Scholl, countertenor
Collegium Vocale Gent,
Conducted by Philippe Herreweghe

Harmonia Mundi


"The Mass in B Minor is a musical setting of the Latin Mass. Although parts of the Mass in B Minor date to 1724, the whole was assembled in its present form in 1749, just before the composer's death in 1750.
...

Due to its length--over two hours of music--it was never performed as part of a church liturgy. The first performance seems to have been after Bach's death, when his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach performed the Gloria section (but not the entire Mass) in Berlin. Large-scale performances of the entire Mass in B Minor were not staged until the 19th century."

There's an entire genre devoted to this. It's called depressive suicidal black metal, or just DSBM for short. I'm putting together a short playlist of some of my favorite DSBM songs, in this very post for your convenience. A word of warning: if you're not into metal or harsh vocals these songs may come as a bit of a shock to you. Nevertheless, enjoy the ride!

"F*cking Your Ghost in Chains of Ice" by Leviathan
"Prison of Mirrors" by Xasthur
"Mörda dig själv..." by Shining
"Disheartenment" by Forgotten Tomb
"We're All Better off Dead" by Nocturnal Depression
"Forever Asleep (Dead)" by Happy Days
"A Crawling Worm in a World of Lies" by Thy Light

My husband has a pretty well known one man Swedish black metal band but it is not DSBM.

One Bedroom Apartment

Clann Zu may be the saddest band I've ever listened to, and I listen to DSBM and skramz.

Honourable mentions:

I Hate Myself - To A Husband At War
I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - The First Word That Comes To Mind
Saetia - Venus and Bacchus
She Died Real Pretty - Requested Anethesia (I Want To Do A Lot Of Drugs And Die From It)
Orchid - Epilogue To A Car Crash

This one's up there but needs to be heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLLIfTuc5X4

'Postman', by Living Colour

I'm an angel, who stands in the corner
Nobody sees me, but me
Invisible angel, searching symbols
Only I know what they mean

Dogs and demons, what's in my head?
I'm deep under pressure
I understand what I have to do now
I know I'm just following orders

They crucify me again and again
I won't stay on this cross
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows what I've lost

Heavy things in a heavy bag
Heavy thoughts on my mind
Ghosts and monsters, you bastard sinners
You've ruined my life
Walk through a crowd, nobody sees me
I'm invisible here
I've come to finish my mission
And put an end to your fear

They crucify me... etc.

Day in, day out
Day in, day out

Chaos and carnage around me
Well, I hear them shout and cry
Well, I laugh at the gut when they try to surround me
They won't take me alive

They crucify me... etc.

More sad and thought-provoking than disturbing:

It is easy to go down into Hell;
Night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide;
But to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air –
There's the rub, the task.

Try Manic Street Preachers's The Holy Bible album, and Big Black's Atomizer album.

The Holy Bible deals with topics like anorexia, suicide, The Holocaust, stuff like that. Wikipedia explains the lyrical content of atomizer pretty well

"The lyrics on Atomizer presented sociopaths committing evil acts that most people only sometimes contemplate: "Big Money" deals with a corrupt police officer, "Bazooka Joe" profiles a shell-shocked veteran who becomes a contract killer, "Stinking Drunk" describes a violent alcoholic, and "Fists of Love" presents a sadist.[27] One of the album's most controversial songs was "Jordan, Minnesota", about the 1983 scandal in Jordan, Minnesota that saw a large number of the rural town's adults indicted on charges of involvement in a huge child sex ring.[27]"
