Flux Top 10: Depressing Tunes Pt. 2

Great reaction to the one last week. Now, I was planning on doing this list later, but I'm pressed for time, and I have all the info ready to go for this one, so this is the list dammit! Prepare to be even more depressed! MUAHAHA I took things back, to a time where I was just a depressed teenager and found some songs that hit home. Enjoy! *It's going to be a quick list. Like I said, I'm pressed for time!!*

10. Taproot - "I" (Gift Album)

Seriously depressing. Like I wanna cry and go into a rage. Ah, those were the days. Heh.

"I need forgiveness from the people I truly care about, I need support behind my back to help me spit it out."

 To actually listen, you can feel the emotion of the lyrics. Also, the beat is kinda catchy too

9. Demon Hunter - "One Thousand Apologies" (Triptych Album)

Ok, this one is newer. There's 2 songs on here that were released recently. They fit though. So bare with it. 

A song that shows the pain in a man when he's failed someone he loves. Nothing more depressing than that.

"All the pain in your eyes, my regrets have never known such sorrow. All the shame that you hide, resolutions are the same as tomorrow."

Beautifully written song. Vocals are touching. Great tune if you're in the mood to be sad!

8. 36 Crazyfists - "The Tide and It's Takers" (The Tide and It's Takers Album)

This one is kinda half love half sad. Hard to explain, but if you've ever felt that way, you know exactly what I'm talking about. really can't get enough of this song.

"Return to now, as we are opened wide, underneath the haze of lights, and the scents of cigarettes and lies. So say your goodbyes and let it all die tonight."

 Man, these lyrics just give me goosebumps. Hits deep. Listen, feel, move on.

7. Linkin Park - "Pushing Me Away" (Hybrid Theory Album)

Now this is going old school here. This song is perfect for those oh woe is me, my girlfriend is a bitch and I gotta leave her. OOOOYEA. Good times, right?

"I've tried like you, to do everything you wanted to, this is the last time, I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you."

 Yea, we've all been there. Tying to be something we're not to be with one we want. That really only lasts so long. You gotta be your self man!

6. Hinder - "Better Than Me" (Extreme Behavior Album)

No list is complete without a little old school Hinder thrown in the mix. Oh yea, this is QQ (crying for thouse not in the know.) music to the max.

"I think you can do much better than me, after all the lies that I made you believe. And the guilt kicks in and I start to see, the edge of the bed where your nightgown used to be."

Cha. Of course, after re-reading all the lyrics again after a few years, I think this guy really just missed the sex. There's more talk about sex then love... Hmmmm

5. Marilyn Manson - "Coma Black" (Age of the Groutesque Album)

From the opening note, you know this is gonna be depressing. Holy, depressing. Don't even get me started on 'Coma White".  Damn! Depressing songs be depressing. Ya know?

"This was never my world, you took my angel away, I'd kill myself to make everybody pay."

If this one doesn't get you depressed by listening you need to go see a shrink. Or get drunk first. That night do it. Otherwise, enjoy the morbid depression!

4. Mudvayne - "A World So Cold" (The End of All Things to Come Album)

I remember being stoked for this album. Then I heard this song. I loved it! It was awesome, had a good music flow, the change at the end was a beautiful touch, but still, it's a depressing song none the less.

"Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes, then watch them drift away. Some might say, we've done the wrong things, for way too long, for way too long."

On the flip side, this song does have a powerful ending. Kinda uplifting. Either way, I love this song. Always will.

3. In Flames - "Fear is the Weakness" (Sounds of a Playground Fading Album)

Such an amazing song from an amazing band. Saw this live when they were in Calgary, man, so good. You gotta hear this one.

"At least you could've tried, it is way past time and we're scattering ashes. You take everything inside, please hear me out. You, you are leaving me with scars."

Such an amazing lyricist. Insightful and beautiful. All wrapped up into one song. Love it. Well, depressing really, but still a damn good song.

2. Machine Head - "Five" (The Burning Red Album)

This is a true emotional song. Every word describes pain, and suffering. It relives a troubling time ina  mans life and we are fortunate enough to hear it from him. This exposes what depression based on past is.

"For all the times I've been losing my mind, you molest and destroy just a five year old boy. You made me suffer, motherfucker, ripped my heart out it was so good."

 I can;t even really say much about this. It's so real. So emotional. It's something I thankfully never dealt with, but after this song, I feel pain for everyone who has.

1. Radiohead - "Creep" (Pablo honey Album)

The ultimate is a depressed childhood song! Come on! you know it!

"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."

 Now, unfortunately, RockBand kinda ruined the true impact of this song. Like it did to tons of other songs, but hey, it doesn't change the fact that it is still an ultimate depressing song.
