Bright Eyes- Amy in the White Coat You take your clothes off right after school The tea is on, the flame is blue You hope this won't take all afternoon The TV's waiting to talk to you It's your naked body on white velour But there's no feeling, just weight on you You get nauseous now as he speaks to you Such proper language for acts so cruel He says "We all follow the rules We can't very well go and break them now, can we For you? Your older sisters, I've had them too But you're my favorite, you know it's true You look like your mother, in that thin disguise Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share You see we're all trying to endure You could easily go and make your own life somewhere Couldn't you?" With the sunbeams bright You keep your eyes shut Your alarm clock lies Get to school on time Where you're a bag of warm fluid Where you're the corpse in the class You walk so near to the lockers You lay so low in the grass Did you get that coat from the principal? Did you get that bruise on the bus? You should wash your hair more You should look more like us I saw you walking once under powder blue skies You looked cold still, your color was high And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye We all want to be pure But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it To do?
When I first originally heard it, I didn't think it was depressing, but after looking up and reading the lyrics, I found it depressing. Like you said, it's a great song. One of my favorites. ----------------- So long ago, I dont remember when Thats when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Chorus: Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever Theres got to be something better than In the middle But me & cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said its cold It feels like independence day And I cant break away from this parade But theres got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin all theres good and nothingness is dead Well run until shes out of breath She ran until theres nothin left She hit the end-its just her window ledge (chorus) Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesnt turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think Id like to watch it burn Im so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I aint changed, but I know I aint the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams I think her death it must be killin me (chorus)

Organic girl dropped by last night For nothing in particular Except to tell me again how beautiful and serene she feels On uncooked vegetables and wheat germ fortified by bean sprouts-- Mixed with yeast and egg whites on really big days-- She not only meditates regularly, but looks at me like I should And lectures me about meat and ice cream And other aggressive foods I shouldn't eat.
Why wallow in depression? Real life is depressing, everyday. You should use the few choices you get to make to distract you from depression. Feel like crap? Well don't put on music that makes you feel worse. The odd thing for me though, blues music, I got the blues...I'm so far down it looks like up to me....My baby done left me..... makes me happy. But misery does love company so maybe all this depressing crap is bringing you guys solice. Captian Jack - Billy Joel Luka - Suzanne Vega

Hmm....this one is pretty depressing IMO.....also creepy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBuom7juPRg "Big boys don't cry"
The great ones have been posted already, but I'd like to add Offspring - Self Esteem George Strait - You Look So Good in Love and since I'm on my way out to the John Legend concert (YAYYYYYYYY) John Legend - Maxine
That's the one I was going to say if no one mentioned it. I actually heard that song for the first time a couple of weeks after my maternal grandmother died. I was fifteen at the time. The other one I was going to mention... Be Still My Soul, by Lisabeth Scott
i don't know the name of the song, or who performs it. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-xuugq7fito"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-xuugq7fito" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
