Hey Detholl, I just read the lyrics to neon dreaming black. They're shit. 'Meet me in the drowning pool of tears', eh? Peter Andre's 'Behind Closed Doors' is pretty much the most depressing song out there at the moment. An intensely personal song about some genuinely heartbreaking shit that utterly fails at making an impression on the listener beyond a mildly annoying buzzing sound. Hows that's for a fucking bleak message. It's like watching a pug trying to hang itself.

Try (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48cTUnUtzx4) Gloomy Sunday. Reportedly, more than a hundred people from all over the world had committed suicide under its influence back in the 30s.
Quote:
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressin' you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessin' you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin' you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Tell us how it goes.:cool:

A lot of good suggestions here, but the most depressing song I've ever heard is probably (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs) "Strange Fruit"
Quote:
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
And Melan, the English lyrics for Gloomy Sunday are nothing compared to the original Hungarian (This is the direct translation):
Quote:
It is autumn and the leaves are falling
All love has died on earth
The wind is weeping with sorrowful tears
My heart will never hope for a new spring again
My tears and my sorrows are all in vain
People are heartless, greedy and wicked...
Love has died!
The world has come to its end, hope has ceased to have a meaning
Cities are being wiped out, shrapnel is making music
Meadows are coloured red with human blood
There are dead people on the streets everywhere
I will say another quiet prayer:
People are sinners, Lord, they make mistakes...
The world has ended!

The best depressing songs are the ones that aren't intentionally "dark and depressing". Songs with all these oooooo dark-and-disturbing lyrics about kicking babies out of an unwed mother's snatch are just hack.
The songs that always manage to bring a tear to my eye are:
Johnny Cash's cover of
Hurt and Dire Straits's
Brothers In Arms.
Quote:
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
Then, there's quite possibly the blackest song ever created.....
