| Downer Endings
the easiest list i'll ever make | | 1 |  | Glassjaw
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know...
"Motel of the White Locust"/"Losten" - This is a sad fucking song, you'll be lucky if you don't burst out crying when you hear it. Hearing this song is like watching a couple physically fight each other, it's not pretty to watch. It's intense as fuck, and the chorus just reeks of hopelessness. The hidden track, "Losten", does not help lighten the mood, instead feeling more like a "lost cause", further reminding you that there is no light at the end of the tunnel | | 2 |  | Unsane
Unsane
"White Hand" - This song describes life in a ghetto. "White hand, your brother is missing, white hand, your brother's dead" Chris moans with absolutley no color in his voice. This track is like the sinking feeling in your stomach when you know something bad is going to happen. | | 3 |  | Radiohead
The Bends
"Street Spirit (Fade Out)" - Thom Yorke once described this song as "fighting with the devil and losing every time". Perfectly summarizes the song, if you ask me. There's just this overbearing feeling of dread to be found here, and the guitar picking is nothing short of haunting | | 4 |  | Pg. 99
Document #5
"By The Fireplace In White" - The bass on this song is absolutley cold, just cold. The guitar cries that layer it add extra fear to the song, and the drums intensifies the track with it's relentless performance. | | 5 |  | Swans
Filth
"Gang" - Absolutley cruel, this track is, describing a story of a gang that holds a man down and rapes him. Is it a metaphor? Perhaps, although I'm not sure for what, all I know is that this song makes you physically weak after hearing it | | 6 |  | The Blood Brothers
...Burn, Piano Island, Burn
"The Shame" - When you're ashamed of something, you feel as if there's no way to fully make up for it. You feel as if you're forever a bad person for whatever you've done. This song perfectly summarize that feeling, with it's unhappy tone only increasing in volume as time goes on. The ending doesn't make the situation any better (hint hint) | | 7 |  | Local H
Here Comes the Zoo
"What Would You Have Me Do?" - A song about a man drowning in his own shame, contemplating suicide. Granted, the song itself is very beautiful, it's when you really think about the lyrics is when it loses it's beauty. | | 8 |  | Rage Against the Machine
Rage Against the Machine
"Freedom" - "Freedom, yeah right", the last thing said in this song. That pretty much describes the whole mood right there. | | 9 |  | Unwound
The Future of What
"Swan" - An overwhelming song that is flooded with noise, layered with Justin Trosper's upsetting reminder of "all I see is the end of the end". | | 10 |  | Foetus
Hole
"A Cold Day In Hell" - This one is pretty bleak, it tells the tale of a man during World War II, in attempt to get free food and shelter, he joins Nazi Germany, only to completely regret it when he learns about what they do to Jewish people. Because of this, he realizes that there are only two possible outcomes for his situation: he either stays with Germany, or he takes his own life. | | 11 |  | Alien Ant Farm
Truant
"Hope" - A song about a failing marriage, and how only hope could possibly save it | | 12 |  | Whitehouse
Mummy and Daddy
"Private" - Mummy and Daddy is an album that deals with domestic violence and child abuse, and the closer track is a 20 minute collage composed of interviews with victims of domestic violence, rape, and child abuse. No breaks, no music, just the words of people who, unfortunately, have experience with these subjects first hand. | |

06.07.15 | might redo my happy ending list so i have something to counter this | Insurrection
06.07.15 | edge of sanity - purgatory afterglow | DanielNightLewis
06.07.15 | That Whitehouse track is just pure :'(
| Alastor
06.07.15 | Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind.
The last song of this melancholy opus is quite fittingly called "A Sad Sadness Song". | Supercoolguy64
06.07.15 | i've heard of current 93, only heard his first album tho. might review it one day
anyways i've heard neofolk current 93 is really great | Alastor

06.07.15 | havnt listened to 12 in the full yet in all honesty, i've just heard private
and yeah bird seed is great | KrazyKris
06.07.15 | How about Joy Division - Decades? One of my favourite tracks and it makes Closer even more (I can't find a proper word for its "deadliness") than it already is. | MonotoneMop
06.07.15 | How about Teen Suicide - Swallow? That one ruins my whole week. | Royl123
06.08.15 | Kid A's ending in Motion Picture Soundtrack: "I would see you in the next life".... | Supercoolguy64
06.08.15 | most of radiohead's closers are downers, but i consider "street spirit" as there most upsetting | PortraitsOfDecay
06.08.15 | 1 is not what I would call sad | Supercoolguy64
06.08.15 | list is for in general bummer endings, not specifically sad stuff. although in hindsight most of the songs here are pretty sad | Dylan620
06.10.15 | Refused - "The Apollo Programme Was a Hoax" |
