Okay, I usually don't post emotional sap like this, but I think I've found the saddest song lyric EVAR. I heard it whilst browsing a dollar store. Let's see if anyone can beat this one.
I want you I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever going to love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Meatloaf - Two out of Three ain't Bad -------------------- Everytime the blue screen went out, Stan the weatherman suffered an existential crisis.

... well hey if we put that song into context it ain't that sad ... it's more like what is expected of a saturday night fling ... BUT .. lets go for it:
"Naked, a sin, an army towel covering my belly, some of us weap, some of us howl ... knees turn to jelly ... NEXT...NEXT I was just a child, a hundred like me, I followed a naked body, a naked body followed me ... NEXT... NEXT I was just a child when my innocence was lost, in a mobile army whore-house, a gift from the army free of course ... NEXT ... NEXT" Alex Harvey - Next (translated quite nicely form Jacques Brel - Au Suivant) (edited cos the lyrics were wrong) -------------------- Smileys don't mean not destuctive and not vicious

Ouch... Okay, that's worse than mine... Now I have to find something to rival that...
k, these aren't the saddest lyrics evar, but they're pretty close I thought I saw a man brought to life He was warm, he came around like he was dignified He showed me what it was to cry Well you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know, don't seem to care what your heart is for But I don't know him anymore There's nothing where he used to lie My conversation has run dry That's whats going on, nothing's fine I'm torn I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed into something real I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn You're a little late, I'm already torn Torn - Natalie Imbruglia -------------------- Everytime the blue screen went out, Stan the weatherman suffered an existential crisis.

Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold I can't just carry on this way And every time I turn away Lose another blind game The idea of perfection holds me Suddenly I see you change Everything at once The same But the mountain never moves Rape me like a child Christened in blood Painted like an unknown saint There's nothing left but hope Your voice is dead And old And always empty Trust in me through closing years Perfect moments wait If only we could stay Please Say the right words Or cry like the stone white clown And stand Lost forever in a happy crowd No one lifts their hands No one lifts their eyes Justified with empty words The party just gets better and better I went away alone With nothing left But faith ~the cure, "faith" -------------------- And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, Then how should I begin To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways? And how should I presume? ~T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" |

GOLLUM'S SONG
performed by Emiliana Torrini from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers soundtrack Where once was light Now darkness falls Where once was love Love is no more Don't say goodbye Don't say I didn't try These tears we cry Are falling rain For all the lies you told us The hurt, the blame! And we will weep to be so alone We are lost We can never go home So in the end I'll be what I will be No loyal friend Was ever there for me Now we say goodbye We say you didn't try These tears you cry Have come too late Take back the lies The hurt, the blame! And you will weep When you face the end alone You are lost You can never go home You are lost You can never go home ----- Well...it sure makes me sad to hear that song and think about the lyrics. -------------------- And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, Then how should I begin To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways? And how should I presume? ~T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" |

Metallica's One, when accompanied by the video, is the most depressing thing ever.

I also find Life Becoming A Landslide quite a sad song. Not such a top-notch album, but that's a stunning song. My Lord, you people listen to some good stuff. -------------------- Half Iago.

You didn't kiss me how can I fall asleep? I know you're there, but don't pick up cause I'll say everything I know you don't care, you made that clear enough as I was leaving I took your favorite overcoat, just wanted to return it I know it's late, you're probably out, that's what you wanted anyway I know how you hate it when I get too loud, but John you know I'm crazy I'm wrapped around your favorite overcoat, don't think I can return it You didn't kiss me How can I fall asleep? You didn't wish me very well To say the least Do you miss me? If you said so should I believe you? You didn't kiss me.. Hate your laugh, hate your lies, hate the chance I took on you Hate the past in your eyes, hate the war you put me through Hate myself for believing this could come to anything at all I'm wrapped around your favorite overcaot Don't think I can return it How can I fall asleep? You didn't wish me very well To say the least Do you miss me? If you said so should I believe you? You didn't kiss me.. -------------------- Proud Cronie since Feb 26, 2003

Commie has a point... but, Whatever.
this song brings me to tears almost every time:  what of the mother whose house is in flames and both of her children are in their beds crying and she loves them both with the whole of her heart but she knows she can only carry one at a time? she's choking on the smoke of unthinkable choices she is haunted by the voices of so many desires she's bent over from the business of begging forgiveness while frantically running around putting out fires but then what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties the gravity of duties or the ground speed of joy? tell me what kind of gauge can quantify elation? what kind of equation could i possibly employ? and you'll never know, dear just how much i loved you you probably think this was just my big excuse but i stand committed to a love that came before you and the fact that i adore you is just one of my truths -ani difranco, school night -------------------- We will start with the firemen, and then the math teachers, and so on in that fashion...

I thought "La Tristesse Durera" was a bit annoying when I first heard it, but it's become a favourite of mine lately as well. And "Roses in the Hospital" is just brilliant.
The Holy Bible is by far my favourite album, though. It's the most miserable thing I've ever heard, but I can't seem to stop listening to it. -------------------- |

What I find unusual about it is that, on the whole, musically it's rather bouncy. I mean, not all of it, but Yes, IfWhiteAmerica..., PCP, etc., could all be cheerful songs if you didn't dare listen to the lyrics. I think that's why I like it so much. -------------------- Half Iago. Half Fu Manchu. All bastard.

When I first heard the Manics I didn't understand how it was possible for songs to have lyrics like that but still be so catchy. It's still vaguely disconcerting having those songs stuck in my head when I'm in a good mood. Being all bouncy and cheerful and humming "Yes" or "Die in the Summetime" without realizing it. It's pretty strange, but cool in a way. I can't think of any other bands that could do that so well.

Apart from Evanescenses My Immortal - first song to ever make me cry, and the only other one that does the same thing to me is Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins, I consider this to be the saddest song. My ex best friend gave me the lyrics as a suicide note. I cried all that night and the next day. She is still alive.
The Minute of Decay - Marilyn Manson there's not much left to love, too tired today to hate, I feel the empty, I feel the minute of decay, I'm on my way down now, I'd like to take you with me I'm on my way down, the minute that it's born, it begins to die, I'd love to just give in, I'd love to live this lie, I've been to black and back, I've whited out my name, a lack of pain, a lack of hope, a lack of anything to say there is no cure for what is killing me, I'm on my way down, I've looked ahead and saw a world that's dead I guess that I am too --------------------  I lie, I wait, I stop, I hesitate, I am, I breathe, I meant, I think of me. Is it any wonder I can't sleep? All I have is all you gave to me. Is it any wonder I found peace through you? Its not enough, just a touch. Its not enough. I taste, I love, I come, I bleed enough, I hate, I'm not, I was, I want too much. Its not enough, just a touch. Its not enough. |
