Depressing Rock Songs

Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind so
You never know

These were some of the lines from one of the most depressing rock songs, Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley. Songs are the best way to express oneself or get a deep feeling of something. This is the reason why people listen to songs according to their mood. Like any other song, depressing songs also have their own identity. They can make you cry and can depress you with their meaningful words and music. Although rock music is considered to be loud, there are few classic numbers which can for sure make you melancholic.

Most Depressing Rock Songs

Before I introduce you to the list of depressing rocks songs, here are the lyrics of some of my favorite depressing and sad rock songs. Have a look.

1. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

2. Decades by Joy Division

Here are the young men, the weight on their shoulders,
Here are the young men, well where have they been?
We knocked on the doors of hell's darker chamber,
Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in,
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying,
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen.
Portrayal of the trauma and degeneration,
The sorrows we suffered and never were free.

3. Yes by Manic Street Preachers

You can buy her, you can buy her
This one's here, this one's here, this one's here and this one's here
Ev'rything's for sale
For sale? dumb cunt's same dumb questions
Oh virgins? listen, all virgins are liars honey
And I don't know what I'm scared of or what I even enjoy
Dulling, get money, but nothing turns out like you want it to
