Post the darkest songs that you know

[AngryWeasel]

That one legit scared an ex of mine.
Watch full screen, no lights and stoned for full effect

 

[BadJuJu707]

A song about lighting a baby on fire while people watch.

 

[Daverisimo]

Oh my sweet summer children...

 

[all caps]

I dont think theres a darker album than this one.

 

[OneManOrgy]

Fun song

 

[faustian]

"Just cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there"



Brutal. I've actually used the line irl

"We are accidents waiting to happen"

"We are accidents waiting to happen"

There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck.

Epic. Easy to forget how many fucked up, twisted masterpieces were on those first two albums.

Also easy to overlook such a classic, but it's a fucked up situation:




Ice T made some fucked up real gangster shit. Unlike all the pussy ass posers who celebrate this culture today on their records he also actually lived it:

^^^
Cop Killer Ice T is a good shout.


For me - any excuse for some NIN:
KIIIILLL MEEE!


Or instrumental dark fuckery::

 

[Tobegolm]

 

[Poids Moyen]

Nobody beats this

 

[faustian]

In a literal sense I think "Black" probably wins the "dark" song contest



Tension building from zero, then accelerating with the chorus at 2:55 on into the outro at 3:53 to the primal scream at 4:20... not exactly the brightest piece of music

I was thinking of posting "Better Man" by Pearl Jam.

The song's literal meaning isn't apparent from the lyrics alone, you have to Google the explanatory backstory by the band, but this is one of the darkest songs from the world of Alt-Rock:

 

[N13]

Far beyond the road
Between your house and home
There is a churning storm
Of hailing burning bones

Tiny baby cries
Little, tiny pawn
In the profit gain
Tiny baby grows

Mother, who's your man
Is he doing what he can
To make a proper home, home
By overturning other stones, stones
Father, mighty man
Loves his little boys, boys
Shows them how to kill
To save his precious stones, stones

Far beyond the wheel
Spin your life around
By driving flesh and blood
Deep into the ground, ground

Far beyond the wheel
Steers life around
By driving flesh and blood, blood
Deep into the ground, ground

 

[N13]

Live and it is raining blood on stage.

 

[Spounman]

I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol in my mouth on my tongue.
I want you to scrape me from the walls and go crazy like you made me.

 

[N13]

I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol in my mouth on my tongue.
I want you to scrape me from the walls and go crazy like you made me.

Hell yea.
