Songs explicitly about suicide?

[chargirl]

What songs do you guys like that are specifically about suicide?

A big one for me is prog-pop(?) masterpiece This Sporting Life by Godley & Creme, formerly from the band 10cc...


I also love many vocaloid songs about wanting to die, ha

Here are a couple I know :

My personal favourite,
Nastyona - Jordan River


Mom - Bloodeater


SODDIKEN - HANZEL


Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (the song Johnny Cash COVERED, the original is much more brutal)


If I remember more I will edit this post/reply with links

I like this one. The song from your profile picture is perfectly beautiful too.

so much of twenty one pilots' discography HAHA. goner and neon gravestones come to mind first as being the most explicit ones but many of their songs mention or reference it

adding onto the NIN reccomendation, same album as prev



listened to this a lot when I was just starting to feel this way, pretty nostalgic by now.

A few songs in Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet album approach suicide ("Way Out of Here", "Sleep Together").

Rush has "The Pass" but it's very anti-suicide. A few of its lyrics kinda rub me the wrong way.

I love Queen, but "Don't Try Suicide" is probably the only song of theirs I can say I totally dislike. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's not even due to the message (it's not even a typical anti-suicide song), I just find it ear-grating.
