The saddest song lyrics ever, not just what the lyrics mean
but also sound really sad and definitely strike a nerve is
BILLY HOLIDAY's solitude, strange fruit, lover come back to
me. good morning heartache, there are many more. Solitude
is a struggle to hold back tears when you hear it.

Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

It's sad when people die on dancefloors.

You better not kill the groove, or else i'll come round your
house and punch your lights out!

the_funkmaster: hate to break it to you, but fake plastic
trees isn't a sad song..
it's about a plastic blowmeup fuckdoll:)

saddest lyrics i've heard are from no surprises by
radiohead. listen closely and you'll notice that it's about
suicide.

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't speak for us.

I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,
no alarms and no surprises,

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
no alarms and no surprises please.

"i read the news today... oh boy"
-Beatles, A Day In The Life

i dont know why... but that line always gets me...

i guess cause i always think about how sad I am after seeing
the news, cause its always tragic and bad.

I love how when I listen to Hurt it initially gives me an
overwhelming wave of depression, but as the song gets close
to the end the depression is slowly transformed into anger,
and ultimatly hatred by the end of the song... one of the
most powerful songs I've ever heard

ive always loved the last verse of motion picture

Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I can't even recognize you

I think you're crazy, maybe (x6)

I will see you in the next life

A helpless love story

Gimme me another reason for loving you
although you’ve done what you’ve done
cause I can’t find anyone

No more flowers in your hand
No more poems by my love
No more tears in lovers land
No more feelings all above

No more questions in my head
No more answers bring me dead

Let’s call it
another helpless love story
Let’s see it
as another saddening glory

Loving you was more then all
Praising you a kind of game
Admiring you became my fall
Knowing you that was my fame

No more questions with my breath
No more answers bring my death

Let’s call it
another helpless love story
Let’s see it
as another saddening glory

In my solitude
you haunt me
with dreadful ease
of days gone by

In my solitude
you taunt me
with memories
that never die

I sit in my chair
filled with depair
theres no one could be so sad
with gloom everywhere
I sit and i stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
im afraid
dear lord above
send back my love.

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 coaches
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 im glad to go
death is no dream
for in death im 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

The Residents - Disfigured Night is all I can think of at
the moment, but I know lots of sad songs...

Silly Billy bought his breakfast from a fat old man,
who cooked his eggs and bacon in a big black frying pan;
The pan was made of metal that was once an army tank,
holding soldiers with their wounds that oozed until they
stank;
And every time the breakfast man put eggs upon his plate,
the yellow yokes stared up as Billy cut them, then he ate;
He saw the eggs as bulging boils that burst when they are
poked,
he tasted tears from someone's fear, and made a silly joke.

The rest of his day like all the others moved along a path,
Filled with visions of somebody's pain inflicted past;
He saw a woman raped by brothers who had left her in
the back seat of a Chevy that had honked its horn at him;
A chance encounter with a clown once made him scratch his
hand
from a case of hives and then he met a mad milkman,
whose sister swallowed shards of glass inside a sugar rose,
and died with blood exploding from her mouth and from her
nose.

He lived alone inside a world of other people's pain,
isolated from their joy and love his life retained
its innocence because he couldn't hear or speak a word,
releasing pain as easy as a tree releases birds;
It even made him happy in a strange and funny way,
reversing misery to joy and agony to play;
They called him Silly Billy when they saw his sappy face,
but no one knew it came from someone's less than happy
fate.

There is much more to this song, here's the link to the
lyrics... It's a very good read if you like simple poetry
telling a story.

Little star
So you had to go
you must have wanted him to know
you must have wanted the world to know

poor little thing
and now they know

little star
I had to close my eyes
there was a fire at the warehouse
they´re always waiting for a thing like this
came driving from all over town
for you
little star

Godspeed You Black Emperor first track from F# A# (cross)
(infinity symbol)

it went like this:
the buildings toppled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies
picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair.

the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything awash with a thin orange haze

i said, "kiss me you're beautiful
these are truly the last days."
you grabbed my hand
and we fell into it
like a daydream
or a fever.

we woke up one morning
and fell a little further down
for sure it's the valley of death
i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood.

I think that's how it goes...

Theatre of Tragedy - "A Distance There Is"


Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st
aside;
And I am trapp'd -
A distance there is...
None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof:
Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be -
I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear;
Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy
lass into peril
-
Thou let'st me be parched;
My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask.
When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest
-
There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones,
my heart!
Thou hast me bereaft! -
But run thou sayest; I run -
And there and then I behold that a time will come when I
again dead will be.
Thou tell'st me to leave without delay -
I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands;
Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending;
So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together
with dusk.
In my mind in which is this event,
But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?!
After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional
depths -
The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me,
Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world:
All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside
-
...a distance there is...


^---- This a beautiful song, please find it and listen to
it!

Dido - "My Lover's Gone"


My lover's gone,
his boots no longer by my door,
he left at dawn,
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more,
I will not watch the ocean,
my lover's gone,
no earthly ships will ever
Bring him home again,
bring him home again
My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last,
no more his song,
the tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone,
while I watch the ocean,
my lover's gone,
no earthly ships will ever Bring him home again,
bring him home again

whoops..

Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Freebird"


If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

a very sad lyric for me is in the song In Your Eyes by Peter
Gabriel...

"When I want to run away, I drive on in my car!!"

I dunno, it's a simple lyric, but I can relate because one
of the most theraputic things for me when I'm down or
distraut or something is to drive... it's like my own
private space where I can try and put things into
perspective...

Ohh, almost forgot

Smashing Pumpkins - Crestfallen


who am I to need you when I'm down
where are you when I need you around
your life is not your own

and all I ask you
is for another chance
another way around you
to live by circumstance, once again

who am I to need you now
to ask you why to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me

and you may go, but I know you won't leave
too many years built into memories
your life is not your own

who am I to need you now
to ask you why to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me

who am I to you?
along the way
I lost my faith

and as you were, you'll be again
to mold like clay, to break like dirt
to tear me up in your sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me

who am I?
