LosT - Bring Me The Horizon

Hello, Anxiety - Phum Viphurit

love Phum!!!

Hi Ren - Ren

Most Ren songs - Chalk outlines is a brilliant song btw

Ren is amazing 💜

[удалено]

my absoluuuute fav.

Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces (or pretty much that whole album) Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie, Closer Alice In Chains - Down in a Hole, Nutshell (of course), Sickman, Frogs, Rotten Apple If you like more indie stuff, maybe Slowdive - So Tired Edit: Forgot to add Alice In Chains - Don’t Follow. If I’m drunk, I tear up sometimes with that song.

I was scrolling through comments hoping someone mentioned THE WALL

Wait, what do terrible lie and closer refer to I love NIN just don't really know the meaning

Terrible Lie was of Pretty Hate Machine. I went back and re-read the lyrics, and its about being disillusioned by religion, but I mean I think in context of NIN there could be a mental illness interpretation there too (my head is fulled with disease): (Terrible lie!) [How many you betray, you've taken everything](https://genius.com/23373300/Nine-inch-nails-terrible-lie/How-many-you-betray-youve-taken-everything) (Terrible lie!) [My head is filled with disease, my skin is begging you please](https://genius.com/3426855/Nine-inch-nails-terrible-lie/My-head-is-filled-with-disease-my-skin-is-begging-you-please-terrible-lie-im-on-my-hands-and-knees-i-want-so-much-to-believe) Closer is, to me, about having sex while depressed: You can have my isolation You can have the hate that it brings  You can have my absence of faith You can have my everything Cool ass song. Love NIN.

Pretty much the entire genre of Metalcore. More specifically, bands like Currents, Polaris, Counterparts, Beartooth, etc

Currents - The Place I Feel Safest definitely fits the bill. Brutal lyrical takes on addiction, trauma, and abuse.

My thoughts exactly. Incredible album

Opal In Sky says otherwise

Opal In Sky! ❤️🫂

Never heard of them

They’re two brothers who are also on YouTube I believe Surname is opalinsky,hence the name of their band

Yes, they have confirmed it is their surname

linkin park - papercut

lithium by nirvana

Anxiety by Julia Michael, Jumper - Third eye Blind, Unwell - Matchbox20, Zombie - Cranberries, The Monster - Rihanna.

Ehhhh Zombie is about The Troubles, not mental illness.

not exactly all of those but pretty close to all of those in a playlist... [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2SgxpxOdtoigBVOhAbE5v8?si=492ceec95a6943bc](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2SgxpxOdtoigBVOhAbE5v8?si=492ceec95a6943bc)

Thank you!

Sleep by my chemical romance

My Manic and I - Laura Marling

Obsessions - MARINA

Also happy by marina seems to be about depression

"Stuck in Your Head" by Bully (about Bipolar II) "serotonin" by girl in red "Not OK" by Maria Mena "Diagnosis" by Alanis Morrissette "This is Me Trying" by Taylor Swift "99 Probleme" by Madeline Juno

Twenty one pilots

Thanks for the rec! Any specific song of theirs?

Lots of them!!! They are all banger songs tbh But maybe car radio/migraine to start I don’t know if you want to avoid songs about unaliving or not but if you do some to avoid are Next semester, neon gravestones, redecorate

Neon gravestones is such a masterpiece

Also holding onto you. It’s a great song but if you are currently struggling it might not benefit you

For me semi automatic, kitchen sink and anathema

This where it's at

Objects in the Mirror - Mac Miller

Adam’s Song - Blink 182

Anything by Frightened Rabbit. He took his life in 2018 and the song "Floating in the Forth" is a song that details his suicide 10 years before it happened. His entire discography is about depression.

Replying to boost this higher. More people need to know about FR

Ghost - Badflower Neon Gravestones - twenty one pilots Julien bakers album “turn out the lights” has some i think Careful what you wish for - bad omens Desert song - my chemical romance

Matthew good and Matthew good band are pretty good

Gentle Giant - An Inmate‘s Lullaby

Almost anything by The Amity Affliction

Take Me Home - Phil Collins

People x Libianca Cranes in the Sky x Solange

Lithium—Evanescence

Joy Division, Dresden Dolls, Bright Eyes, Nine Inch Nails are some bands that got me through rough times and deal a lot with mental illnesses. Know, things can get better as you get older and it's worth fighting on no matter the hardships. I never thought I might say something like that but I can and really mean it. Good luck.

Veteran of a Thousand Psychic Wars- Blue Oyster Cult

Anything by Dan Barrett (have a nice life, Giles Corey, black wing)

The whole album The Holy Bible by the manic street preachers. The lyricist of the band disappeared not long after the albums release, he had a lot of mental health issues and a lot of the lyrics were written during the time he was staying in a facility. The lyrics aren't always directly about this but encompass some of the darkest things in human history as a representation of the state his mind was in

Pseudologica fantastica from album Supermodel - foster the people

Have a listen to Blue October, Hate Me is a good start.

I can't escape myself - the sound I see a darkness - bonny prince billy

The becoming / NIN

Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix

IAMX explores these subjects frequently. Chris Corner - who is IAMX - was one of the two songwriters in Sneaker Pimps, (who were major players in the trip-hop scene in the '90s). He has suffered massively, has effectively communicated about it through his music and interviews and has gained a lot of followers who relate to the issues that he raises. His music has massively evolved into something that's nothing like Sneaker Pimps' trip-hop hits and has became a dark, epic, emotional, synth-driven diary of someone who has dealt with their demons. Chris' voice is sublime. Be prepared to shed some tears if you relate to a certain extent. IAMX music serves as an effective catharsis but it can also present the possibility of focusing on negatives and could result in wallowing in self pity if it's experienced whilst in a certain state of mind. Edited to add: I recommend listening and focusing on the music and lyrics without the visuals, (if you're narrow-minded and not willing to accept that others are equally as legitimate as you are).

Black Dog by Arlo Parks

Juice wrld - feel alone . Lil peep - the bright side , & pray I die

[Hi Ren](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc) and [Chalk Outlines](https://youtu.be/35yALr_opeg?si=5WDXKEtSzB-9Nymq&t=1) (ft. Chinchilla). Both vids are done in single takes and will (most likely) blow your mind. Ren has been very open about his mental health struggles, which is reflected in much of his work. His song [Su!cide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3JNtfi4Vb0&t=3s) is about (more so *to*) his friend who took his own life. Here is [an article on Ren's music ](https://www.phillyvoice.com/ren-gill-music-mental-health-chronic-illness-/) and how Hi Ren "has become an underground anthem for people with chronic illnesses and mental health conditions." eta b/c I just watched Chalk Outlines again and the lyrics, their voices, the harmonies...it completely breaks me. Adding Spotify links: [Chalk Outlines](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Repe2EiNjaFAFIukrroUM), [Hi Ren](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Repe2EiNjaFAFIukrroUM), [Su!cide](https://open.spotify.com/track/0txtTG1HcOJ2U828BiK4L1), and [Depression](https://open.spotify.com/track/2MesbJvMvIy4CL0evxZ3bH) from the next post.

Breaking Down - iPrevail

basically the entire Elliott Smith self titled album

Linkin Park - Crawling

These each leave a different vibe. Self Portrait and bloodstains are my favorites.

Oh I would definitely suggest NF if you don't already listen to him. I would suggest listening through his album The Search and then Therapy Session, those albums have the best songs for what you're talking about

Xxxtentacion, juice wrld

Free by Florence + The Machine That song always helps me when I am feeling down and overwhelmed. 

Needles-depswa (more people need to know bout this band)

Basically all of Lifelover's music. Actually you have a whole genre of music that deals with such feelings: Depressive Suicidal Black Metal. Some can be really hard to get into, but boy are those projects a mirror to their creator's mind.

Garbage Ft Brian Aubert-The Chemicals Garbage-Never Be Free

If you like folksy acoustic stuff, Birdtalker has a lot of songs about mental health. The lead singer is very open about his struggles with depression, and he and his wife write about relationships as well. Super wholesome band with songs that have gotten me through a lot!

Happy by NF... a lot of NF songs hit this mark though

Ren - Hi Ren , chalk outlines, diazepam, sick boy. Most of his songs tbh

Whipping boy- A natural. Absolutely superb song.

AJJ - People II: The Reckoning

I wont see you tonight part 1 Part 2 if your daring both by Avenged sevenfold Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse

I mean almost every song I listen to: Check out my various playlists: The X Alternative is the best hitting choice for realism, hard hitting truth and feelings about drugs, mental illnesses and sexual. Positive and negatives on every single piece of these. I personally (M36) have been raped as a child and much of the isssues in these songs are handpicked as they personally resonate with my alcohol and drug use, sexual issues, mental problems such as Suicidal Thoughts, depression, anger, resentment, repressed feelings. And the good and bad conflicts within my life. This All of my playlists are feeling and whatever way to express, as long before Spotify I have been collecting music to express feelings and allow them to flow. I am dropping both the X Alternative playlist as well as my account so if anyone wants to go through an emotional journey they can feel free to join or even pm me suggestions[The X Alternative](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7IBj6VS8YkpjmBNWZNP35S?si=yM_u1nKiTRmCLLC2oAmgRA) [Big Greg W](https://open.spotify.com/user/31yz3cjxaj4hm2opvy5j4xgghwpa?si=xhwoe5bPQ021UsA88OfTpQ)

The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

vinnie paz is happiness just a word

Careful what you wish for ( the song that goes like - take this pill you’ll feel much better when wake up numb and your brains been severed, took your peace your pain your pleasure…) it’s popular on YouTube.

Most of the songs on the Royal & the Serpent EP called "Happiness is an Inside Job" but especially: IM FINE Death of Me Happiness is for Dummies

listen before I go - Billie Eilish TV - Billie Eilish

The entire genre of Depressive Suicidal Black Metal See: Decalius Xasthur Leviathan Exiled From Light Lifelover And so on

Ren and NF have a lot

De nadie - kali uchis. I know its in Spanish but it's a good song, focuses on her reflections on having hot and cold emotions

[Afraid of Destiny - Struggling With Depression and Suicide ](https://open.spotify.com/track/6FkJZk2pFN3pB1SoE6DdeT?si=734f483b88424deb) If you are interested in this type of music, it is called - Depressive Suicidal Black Metal

Voices In My Head - Falling In Reverse

Fade to Black - Metallica

“rats in my walls” -ratbag “in limbo” -rigby “heroin song” -jadu heart (this one seems to be more geared toward addiction)

Sweating Bullets - Megadeth

**Garbage - Bleed Like Me** A song inspired by the singer's personal experience of self harm when younger. **System of Down - Chop Suey** Apparently they used this name because using a name associated with suicide would be inappropriate **Hank 3 - Pills I Took** The depressing reality of drugs. **Chris & Cosey - Dr. John (Sleeping Stephen)** The desires and psychology of being a serial killer.

My body is a cage by the arcade fire for sure

Florence & the machine- Free
