Staind- Excess Baggage....so sad 🙁

Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you

And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom
From you

And I'm eaten alive by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I can't easily hide
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
Until I'm not alive

When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?

I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you

I'm so sick of this place
This taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can't figure what I'm all about
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
'Til I'm not alive

You can't go wrong with Novembers Doom. Their "The Knowing" CD is IMO, the greatest Doom cd ever (though many will say MDB or Saturnus are better.) Its usually soft spoken, or sang lyrics, with some female backing lyrics. It also have the ocasional death metal grunt here or there ...

EXAMPLE lyrics below ...

Novembers Doom -----Last God -----

Please take this away,
I never wanted this pain.
Why have you left me here all alone?
I will always cry for you.
Catching the fallen tears from my eyes,
dreaming of life with you,
all is lost tonight.
This pain is killing me,
there's nothing that I can do.
The visions of your face,
Makes my stomach sick.
You were stripped from me,
when my back was turned.
I should have been there for you,
It should be me that's gone.
I can't let you win,
I just won't walk away.
It's time I see the end, and leave this gift
behind. You're no friend to me,
You've caused me too much pain.
So you step beyond my grasp,
escape this last God's fate. (her)
In chambers light, you pine over me and I can only look upon you and smile.
I wish the pain would disappear.
A frigid breath on the back of your neck,
a soft glowing voice that you always hear.
I'm sorry for the pain,
I'm sorry for the lies.
with open arms, I await you.
An emptiness I can never fill,
a loss of all my being.
Carry away my lust for your taste.
A blue rose for my soiled life.
Reliving our moments over again,
consumes my every day.
No more can I keep going on with this guilt,
You've taken everything that I care about.
Eating away at my own pathetic life,
the skies have turned to blood on this very night.
I will see you again, and I tremble at the thought.


Novembers Doom -----Silent Tomorrow -----


Eternity - A gift I no longer want.
Forever - I can't go on with these endless nights.
My sanity has been stripped away.
Everything is beauty, and I have no love to share.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Each time I close my eyes, I only wish for my end to come.
No angels sing for me, and the light of my life dims away.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
Crippled by fear, the sights I see.
No means to this end.
This is my only way.
Silent tomorrow, I want to live my life once more.
Visions of grandeur, I want to taste the void extreme.
Destiny awaits me, I cannot carry on this way.
Coward of the dream,
In silence I will rest my eyes.
 
Well, most of my artists (if not songs) have been spoken for here or in the other board, but I don't think anyone has said Luka yet ..

every breath you take, imagine, lightning crashes are not depressing songs.
 
The saddest of all: "Standing in the Doorway" by Bob Dylan...

I'm walking through the summer nights
Jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today, it's moving too slow
I got no place left to turn
I got nothing left to burn
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
I got nothing to go back to now

The light in this place is so bad
Making me sick in the head
All the laughter is just making me sad
The stars have turned cherry red
I'm strumming on my gay guitar
Smoking a cheap cigar
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
Don't look like it will anytime soon
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Under the midnight moon

Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't
But not tonight and it won't be here
There are things I could say but I don't
I know the mercy of God must be near
I've been riding the midnight train
Got ice water in my veins
I would be crazy if I took you back
It would go up against every rule
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
Suffering like a fool

When the last rays of daylight go down
Buddy, you'll roll no more
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
I wonder who they're ringing for
I know I can't win
But my heart just won't give in
Last night I danced with a stranger
But she just reminded me you were the one
You left me standing in the doorway crying
In the dark land of the sun

I'll eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry
And live my life on the square
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
I know someone will be there to care
It always means so much
Even the softest touch
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
There are no words that need to be said
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Blues wrapped around my head
 
Numerous people have apparently committed suicide after listening to an old Hungarian song called "Gloomy Sunday", (Rezsô Seress, 1933).

You can hear a really good version of it in the movie Schindler's List (about 3 minutes into the movie, the song plays on the radio while Oskar Schindler gets dressed), or listen to modern versions of the song here. and here (Billy Holiday's version).
