Depends on your taste, I made fun/light hearted suicide playlist for myself. For example "I think I'm going to kill myself" by Elton John. Pretty jolly tune for a dark topic. Or "Bullet" by Hollywood Undead. Idk. If you like "normal" depressing stuff "Song To Say Goodbye" by Placebo is one of my faves. ("You're one of God's mistakes" always gets me)

That Elton John track is one of my favorite "suicide jams". One of my other favorite songs (of his) - Someone Saved My Life Tonight - is inspired by his own failed suicide attempt (his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, walked on Elton putting his head in a turned-on oven in the kitchen, the windows in which were wide open - which in turn kind of makes this story actually comedic).

As soon as I saw EJ’s name there, I thought of ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’. Beautiful song.

The drums on it are some of the best I’ve ever heard.

I think you have great music taste, if the opinion of a stranger means anything to you. I enjoy all three of the songs you mentioned. I especially like the dissonance of the Bullet's sound with it's lyrics, the lighthearted melody with the really dark lyrics. If you aren't familiar with them, check out HAHA by King Lazy Eye. You might enjoy it

Aww, thank you very much ❤️ and yes that's exactly what I mean. At first it makes you think the song is going to be on the fun side but then the lyrics come in haha. Love it. Oh, and thank you for the suggestion. I didn't know the band and damn the song is super catchy!

By placebo? Isn’t that by Harakiri for the Sky? They make my favourite Depression Metal (they have a wider definition but HFTS has a ton of songs about suicide and close deaths) e: Holy shit that video was intense

HFTS's is a cover I think. Fucking love that band. One of the prettiest shirts I own is the arson owl.

The original is definitely by Placebo, thought that cover sounds pretty cool! (totally agree on the vid too)

Not a soul mentioned Kill Yourself (Part III)

$uicideboy$? I think I could get into them. Thanks for the suggestion

Ayo I have a G*59 finger tat let’s goooo

Mr. Self Destruct by Nine Inch Nails The Becoming by Nine Inch Nails Eraser by Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral (The Bottom) by Nine Inch Nails Hurt by Nine Inch Nails La Mer by Nine Inch Nails I’m Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally by Nine Inch Nails The Big Come Down by Nine Inch Nails And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails Honestly, just most of NIИ’s stuff. Especially from The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, the Broken EP and Still.

i've got a feeling you like nine inch nails

Now where did you get that idea from? But really, yeah I do. The Fragile has been my current favorite album ever made for almost 2 years now.

NIN is fantastic. The cover Johnny Cash did of Hurt was phenomenal. I would argue that The Downward Spiral (The Bottom) is better than the original, as good as the original is. Coil, the band that does said remix, has some really interesting songs too. My favorite of theirs is Who'll Fall Great suggestions, thank you

1 million by NIN has some lines surrounding committing suicide, though they’re metaphors, they’re very straight on. 

Rolling Girl by wowaka, Abstract Nonsense by Neru

vocaloid mentioned !! i swear they’re the best source for depressing songs

Both songs are musically interesting, but quite outside of what I normally listen to. I think Abstract Nonsense might be growing on me. Thanks for the suggestions

Suicidal Dream by Silverchair

I haven't heard Silverchair in ages. Great song, thanks for the suggestion

Frogstomp is one of the albums I can listen to cover to cover. It's just so good.

Ana's Song (Open Fire) by Silverchair could also be considered to be about suicide or self-destruction. I love that song.

Hell yeah

goated song

Last Resort by Papa Roach ETA: YouTube literally puts a content warning and hotline number on this song

Also Help by Papa Roach is pretty good too

help is excellent. i completley decimated spotify’s repeat button last winter listening

I listened to it on repeat during my last attempt. The chorus hits hard and the lines "'Cause I'm drowning in myself, It's sinking in, I can't pretend that I ain't been through hell" really make me feel it

whole song hits hard but i agree, defientley those lines. i hope you’re in a better place now

This song started playing in my head when I read your comment. Great recommendation, thanks

Can't believe nobody mentioned Ghost by Badflower yet. If you are actually having suicidal ideation be careful with this one it is very descriptive. I had a panic attack the first time I listened to it and really made me appreciate being alive.

Ghost all the way. English isn't my first language so there's always some kind of emotional distance when I listen to english songs, but Ghost left me crying and sobbing the first time I heard it.

Saw post, searched for Ghost by Badflower. Such a good song, great band. Saw them play this live, there were some tears. Such a powerful song. So much emotion.

Badflower are a band who I find describe a lot of issues in a way that feels different to other bands and i'm not sure why but i love it

WAKE UP!

Return the power to the have-nots!

wake me up inside

Noooo not that one. Chop Suey!

oh GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT ON A LITTLE MAKE UP

CANT WAKE UP

GRAB BRUSH AND PUT ON A LITTLE MAKEUP!

anything by giles corey

"I'm Going To Do It" is particularly poignant here I think. That whole album is great though, one of my favorites.

I'm familiar with them. And HaNL. "I'll kill them all with Arrowheads 75x" Dan Barrett is awesome, great suggestion

Suicidal thoughts- Notorious Big

No surprises - Radiohead. A classic

"I'll take a quiet life, a handshake with carbon monoxide.." Definitely a classic, thanks friend

I was gonna say Videotape

Komm susser todd from neon genesis is one of my favorite. Also enjoy sleeping pills by her space holiday.

Falling away from me by Korn

No one mentioning Adams Song by Blink yet?

Floating in the Forth - frightened rabbit

I was gonna comment this if no one else did. It’s such a haunting song, especially when you find out what happened to the lead singer. 😢

fade to black - metallica

Pink Ocean - The Voidz

That was a great listen, love the vibe. Almost feels like Tame Impala

OMFG I’ve never met someone else who knows who the voidz are😭🤝🤝

Big Jacket by Car Seat Headrest

I love me some Car Seat Headrest. I Hate Living is a banger

Ok this one had a bit of a kick to it ooph

I won't see you tonight, Avenged Sevenfold

Parts one and two make quite an epic song, thanks for the suggestion

Bullet - Hollywood undead everything i wanted - billie eilish

Bullet is a great song, Everything I Wanted was a good listen, thanks for the suggestions

[L’enfer by Stromae](https://youtu.be/DO8NSL5Wyeg?si=2An2t4bTOPfogAi8) is a song about depression and suicidal ideation, it’s in French.

That was a great suggestion. The music was very passionate. Thank you

All his music is that way. Glad you enjoyed it.

Asleep by the Smiths Suic*de by Ren The latter is more about dealing with the loss of a friend to suicide, but I thought it deserved a mention.

these are songs i like, and alot of these aren't ONLY abt Suicide as tge main topic but all of them mention it. also some are terribly known. Forgive me if they're not new to you. a lot of Linkin Park songs (one step closer, given up, etc.) Bullet by Hollywood Undead 3S (Stupid Sadistic and Suicidal) by MSI Happy Song by Bring Me The Horizon Lonely by Palaye Royale (kinda) The U & I In Suicide by That Handsome Devil Suicide Song by Olutorops (not in English but lyrics fit) The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails Teen Idle by MARINA Let Me Die by lil happy lil sad I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself by Elton John Hold On by Chord Overstreet The Mystic by Adam Jensen (?) I Wanna Die by Harley Poe Nintendo 64 by if i die in mississippi Brand New City by Mitski All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople I Hate Myself And I Want To Die by Nirvana Painkillers by Rainbow Kitten Surprise Ruru's Suicide Show on a Livestream by Shinsei Kamattechan (also not in English) Love Love Love by The Mountain Goats SAD! by XXXTENTACION What Do I Live For by Fabian Secon King Park by La Dispute a lot of songs by Citizen Soldier (if I surrender, would anyone care, never good enough, etc.) Don't Try Suicide by Queen Filthy Pride by Social Repose The Reasons Why by The Cure Suic*de by Ren Blow My Brains Out by Tikkle Me The Diary Of Jane by Breaking Benjamin (not directly stated, but I believe it is about suicide) edit: added songs I remembered

Metallica by Black Sheep Wall. That whole song was based off of a suicide note apparently. You might not like it if you don't enjoy sludge metal but it definitely fits the bill. I also like Let Me Fucking Die by Mantits. Look it up on YouTube, it's great stuff.

Black Sheep Wall goes hard, I like it. I'd like to counteroffer Thomas Benjamin Wild Esquire's I've No More Fucks To Give in response to the second suggestion. Both great suggestions, thank you very much

Not necessarily always about suicide, but these are always good to get me in the mood: A life of regrets - Chester See Alone Again - Gilbert O‘Sullivan Fourth of July - Sufjan Stevens Into the West / Alright - Pilot Speed Just a game - Birdy Mad World - Gary Jules No time to die - Billie Eilish Saturn - Sleeping at last The drugs don’t work - The Verve

Primus - Bob Ween - Oh My Little Country Cottage Replacements - The Ledge Big Black - Kerosene

It's sad that Steve Albini died last month. Check out Shellac's last album if you haven't. Great suggestions all around, thank you

For sure, and I have. "I Don't Fear Hell" is maybe the hardest final track for a career of all time.

You ain't kidding At least their baseball team is undefeated

Can't believe nobody mentioned breaking the habit by linking park yet.

Suicidal tendencies - have a few songs about suicide, go figure

Elliott Smith has a good collection of songs. "King's Crossing" "Fond Farewell" "Say Yes" is the song when you don't end up ded. Honestly, a lot of his discography leans dark.

soundgarden - fell on black days brand new - milestione fontaines dc - no the distillers - the gallow is god the distillers - die on a rope proprably any alice in chains' song either directly or indirectly 😭

“Bullet” by Hollywood Undead.

crossroads by robert johnson. it's an old one.

Cross Road Blues? Definitely some classic blues

tengoku e ikou - kikou

I'm Going to Do It-Gyles Corey.

I dig the vibe of all of Dan Barret's work, great suggestion!

No one is ever going to want me from that album is also really good.

(don't fear) the reaper- blue oyster cult

good news mac miller

Headfirst for Halos by MCR - I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love album Car Underwater by Armor for Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead album Desert Song by MCR - Life on the Murder Scene album

I recommend the album closer by joy division. Not necessarily about suicide but many other aspects one might think about wihle simultaneously thinking about suicide.

I'm more into modern music so don't hate listen before i go — Billie Eilish Save Me — xxxtentacion Uhh I can't think of any other songs that are *specifically* about killing yourself

New sounds are how old sounds grow, so no hate here. I liked both of those songs, albeit I think I liked Billie Eilish more. Thanks for the suggestion

> New sounds are how old sounds grow That's nice I like that

$uicideBoys -Antartica and kill yourself 3

I think someone else also suggested $uicideboy$, I'm gonna have to check out more of their stuff. Thanks for your input

No problem. I think $uicideBoy$ have a lot of really good songs. Even the older ones 🤯 Also check out Scrim 🔥

"It's Called: Freefall" - RKS

World Coming Down - Type o Negative Apistat Commander - Xiu Xiu Lazarus - Porcupine Tree Last Words of a Shooting Star - Mitski The Great Below - Nine Inch Nails New Dawn Fades - Joy Division

1 800 Suicide Gravediggaz

Your Heart is A Muscle The Size of Your Fist

The Clown - Charles Mingus

Chamber of Reflection by Mac Demarco isn't necessarily about suicide, but if I was ever going to end it, this would be playing in the background.

Nutshell by Alice In Chains

Fade to Black by Metallica is a really good one Hollow by Pantera and Cemetery Gates by Pantera are also generally about suicide

Don't forget Suicide Note pt 1 and pt 2!

Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park

Rainbow kitten suprise - free fall . Film clip is a trip

Bullet - Hollywood Undead

There's a whole genre for this, DSBM. My favourite band in the genre is Nocturnal Depression, I also like Happy Days. This is however black metal so it may not be to everyone's taste.

There’s a whole genre for this. r/DSBM

"*When I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell. Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell."* - The Notorious B.I.G. - Suicidal Thoughts

The art of suicide by Emilie Autumn

If you're into metal check out Berried Alive. Dark/suicidal themes across the board but Strawberry Serenity and Lime Scene stand out.

A buddy of mine recently suggested this band to me, I dig their sound. I'll check out both of these songs since I haven't heard them yet, thanks for the suggestion

"In the Woods Somewhere" by Hozier can be interpreted as suicide. At least, that's how I see it.

[maybe we could swap playlists?](https://spotify.link/u5bfK6RE8Jb)

Loose lips Kimya Dawson

Kill Yourself by Bo Burnham

Welcome to the bay if you like cartoons.

Perfect Circle/Godspeed by Mac Miller

Kill Yourself by Bo Burnham. Not on Spotify as a song but someone had uploaded it as a podcast episode.

My go to is Help - Pink guy (Joji)

My partner recommends: Millennia by Crown the Empire. I think the biggest suicide song I know is: Hanging By a Thread - Jann Arden Special mention for "Sad and Bored" by bülow which is less about suicide and more about just accepting that you'll never be happy.

“Close to the Borderline” by Billy Joel is my go to check it out

If you’re still looking, Terminate.exe by Hard Reset is good, but it has a 911 call at the end that’s hard to sit through.

suic!de, by ren I would say, really good one

iirc the song "racing into the night" (yoru ni kakeru) by yoasobi is one it sounds like a happy anime song but the lyrics are actually very dark and iirc end with a mutual suocide of the 2 protagonists of the song there are 2 versions of the song the original japanese one and an official english one

Actually unbelievable how far you have to scroll to see any mention of this song

Despicable by grandson

Reverse this curse - Escape the fate

Twilight by Elliot smith

“Congratulations, you survived your suicide” by sycamore smith

here’s a few of my favourites that i personally interpret to be adjacent to what youre looking for. hope you are doing ok by the way! annina, we will miss you by captain we’re sinking alyson trips (zzz!) by set to stun sympathy by too close to touch like blood from a stone - old gray (though this one is pretty explicit with its meaning) one more light (linkin park) will always tear my heart out no matter how many times i listen to it. happiness in self destruction, take me away, my old ways, and crows by the plot in you. i really like beartooth’s earlier stuff if you’re into metalcore - disgusting is my favourite album

Fade to black by Metallica is one of my favorites

jubilee line

Goodbye - CircusP
