*Sniff* Here we are again.. Don't mind me, just going to cry as I write this... Damn depressing songs... WAAAAHHH.. ok, I'm composed... nope.. shit, losing it again... screw the intro, just get into the list...
10. Breach of Trust - "Complicated" (Songs for a Dying Nation Album)
A now defunct Canadian band, I met the drummer at a concert once many moons ago and I talked him into giving me a CD, which I love, even tot his day like a decade later. I think you can still buy it on iTunes, worth getting. Very powerful lyrics, this song hits hard. 5:05 minutes of emotional music and lyrics. Be prepared to be saddened.
"To wake up feeling like this, remembering dreams in my head. This doesn't happen often, I woke up feeling like this."
I think we've all had days like this. Nothing seems to make sense. Hate those days, but, hey, identifying with music always makes me feel better. I still need a beer though I think..
9. Crossfade - "Never Coming Home" (Falling Away Album)
Ugh, this song. Just give me the /wrists already. Take every emotional break up you've had, where you have known that it was then end wrap it in some sad depressing piano and a singer who oozes emotion in his voice. Yup, gonna start crying again... BRB.
"I'm planning my release, tonight I'll speak the words I never, thought I'd ever have to say to you. Hope it stings you so deeply."
Remember that moment??? You know you do, don't even. Embrace it!! Live it! Then, move on!! Life is better now.
8. Evanescence - "My Immortal" (Fallen Album)
Please, don't pretend you don't know the lyrics here. EVERYBODY knows the damn lyrics, and even if you won't admit it, you love this song too. Excuse me, I need to go listen to something happier before finishing this list. #cryinglikealittlegirl
Yeah, I put this one on the list. I mean, really, how can I not put this on here. It kinda always makes you wanna curl up in the fetal position and bawl like a baby. I still prefer the full band version, I find it has more of an impact with Amy's voice adding to it.
"These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there;s just too much that time cannot erase."
7. Ill Niño - "If You Were Me" (Dead New World Album)
Finally a upbeat style song! YAY! Wait... what are the lyrics? Oh, really? Hmm... Well.. maybe it means, no.. It's kinda depressing still... Shit...
"You ran away it kill the pain. So far from home, I feel the shame. Now to take the pills, I'm high alone, and I can't believe."
Well, at least this song has a good rage factor attached to it. So as I'm bawling I can beat up something...
6. Stabilo - "Flawed Design" (Happiness & Disaster Album)
This is the ultimate depressing song. Stabilo hides it so well too because the song sounds awesome, kinda almost chill out. I mean, you can totally bop your head to it and not even pay attention to the lyrics. But, if you do pay attention, be prepared for the sniffles....
"'Cause I lie, not because I want to, but I seem to need to all the time. Yeah, I lie and I don't even know it. Maybe this is all apart of my flawed design."To me, this is a completely different depression. This song is self realization. That moment when you realize who you really are, and what you really have done with your life. The people you have hurt, those you have ruined. Man, that type of self assessment is a bitch. Not gonna lie.
5. Staind - "Me" (Dysfunction Album)
'Welcome to my messed up world!' Aaron Lewis says in this song. What happens when a man pours his soul into a song. Don't even get me started on this analysis....
"Look at me, I'm so pathetic, I can't believe, I'm just an addict. I've never needed anyone to help me, I'm begging you, to please come save me from myself..."
Seems to embody teenage depression to a 'T'. Not.. that I was ever there. NOOOO haha. Still a great song, even if it's not your cup of tea. Let's move on!
4. System of a Down - "Roulette" (Steal This Album! Album)
Back to love! The depression mostly comes from the music, something about an acoustics guitar and Serj's voice that just mix so well together.
"I know, how I feel when I'm around you, I, I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you."
Another place we've all been. Thinking, longing for someone, but not knowing where we stand with them. Not knowing is a killer. Gawd I always hated that. Good thing that's all over with now! :D
3. Shinedown - "Call Me" (The Sound Of Madness Album)
*Sigh* This is my perfect depressed song. I don't know why, just seems to hit me hard. BAM right in the nuts. That shit hurts too if you didn't know.

"I've said it so many times, I would change my ways, no, never mind, God knows I've tried."Sing this song at the top of your lungs. You will feel better after I promise. Keep this one close and you will do awesome in life. Or, at least, during your sad times. 2 more to go, we can do this!
2. Stone Sour - "Zzyzx Rd." (Come what(ever) May Album)
Ok Corey Taylor has a fantastic way to write emotional depressing shit. There were at least 5 great ones I could pick between Stone Sour and Slipknot. I went with this one for two reasons. 1. I asked my wife which one, she picked it. 2. Because I love the title and the piano work. It all flows so great... uh, well in a depressing way of course.
"I'm over existing in limbo, I'm over the myths and placebos. I don't really mind if I just fade away."
Gah, I hate those depressing tracks that you hit repeat, and listen to over, and over, and over and over and cry and cry and cry.. not.. that I cry of course. Dammit, I'mma man!!!
MOVE ON!
The Number One most depressing tune is:
1. Nine Inch Nails - "Hurt" (Downward Spiral/Greatest Hits Album)
If you didn't see this coming, you are not a lover of music, and I will shun you. SHUN SHUN!! Seriously, Johnny Cash is the man, Trent Reznor is the man, and this song is amazing. Also, extremely depressing...
"I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair. Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair."
Yuppers. 'Nuff said, as they say. If you don't know this song, you must get it now. Memorize it, live it, feel it. Such an amazing song. This is what emotion in music sounds like.
And there we ahve it folks! Another list done! Don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, let me know what you think, if you have any ideas for new lists, let me know!
