Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Depressing would be Postal Service - This Place is a Prison

https://youtu.be/NMgoQBHx12g

The whole album is depressing, but the title track is one of the more depressing ones. Freudian Slip by Yüth Forever (formerly Villains)

"Rose" by The Payolas.

Sleeze: WiseIntelligent - My First Shot is about the loss of innocence and cascading events that shape a persons life. It feels like a downward spiral into the shame that specifically comes from hurting people with ignorance

Depression: My Chemical Romance - The Foundations of Decay is about giving up on trying to get better, resigning to slow death, and discovering you were never the sort of person who could improve things for yourself or other people. It feels like a personal callout to moralistic millennials.

My favorite bleak song is "We're All Made Of Stars" by Spray. It's a peppy catchy danceable synthpop tune about how little we matter, and I delight in it.

Artists who have a ton of songs about it:

Spanish Love Songs:
Routine Pain
Pendulum
and a lot more...

Off With Their Heads:
Disappear
Clear the Air
and more...

I remember the college essay going over the word choice of that song.

Not a song, but an album: Opeth - Damnation

See if you can figure out which is which

PRINCE - GETT OFF:

"I clocked the jizz from a friend
Of yours named Vanessa Bet (Bet)
She said you told her a fantasy 
That got her all wet (Wet)
Something about a little box with a 
Mirror and a tongue inside
What she told me then got me so hot
I knew that we could slide"

JEFF BUCKLEY - LOVER YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER:

"Looking out the door I see the rain
Fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water"

If you had tolde "Lover you should've come over" was also a Prince song, I'd 100% have believed it.
