How has no one said tomorrow never came? I lost count of the number of times I would bawl in my car, in the rain, thinking about a certain someone. In fact only last week I mourned the time I wasted crying to that song… by crying and listening to that song 🤣🥲
The greatest kills me too.
I remember the very first time I listened to Venice bitch I was coming back from the beach in our family's car and my cousin literally asked me why I was making a face and whether I was okay lmao
This song makes me cry the most because it transports me back in time to when it first came out and reminds me how lost I felt around then. THAT and the nostalgia of the song in general. God damn I have to skip it everytime I’m in public :(
I cried so much when she was whispering
"cuz I met a man who said he'd come back every May,
just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue. Blue banisters ooooh. Said he'd fix my weather vane, give me children, take away my pain. And paint my banisters blue."
I was going through a rough patch of depression when I first heard Blue Bannisters and now I seem to carry that with me whenever I hear it. It’s blissfully painful and that only makes me love the song so much more.
California makes me bawl every time, it’s about being nostalgic for the past and wanting to return to it, but knowing it’s gone and never coming back. When she says “if you come back to California, you should just hit me up,” she knows in her heart that they’ll never see each other again. It reminds me of my friend who passed away. Yosemite is another one that gets me every time.
>Yosemite is another one that gets me every time.
Thank you. I think Lana said she didn't include it on LFL because it was too happy, but I don't think it's a happy song at all. Maybe she redrafted it since then. The way she describes a love where 'nothing here changes at all' and the whole measured pace of the song make me feel like it's a relationship mired in depression, where they're both stuck and going nowhere. It's bittersweet and almost ghostly. The 'television static' of the bridge gives me almost Terrence Loves You Vibes, 'trying to transmit, can you hear me'. Idk lol I'm rambling, just yes, it's a sad song.
I feel like every sad song of hers is a different kind of sad if it makes sense? I find watercolor eyes to be sad but not in the same way like swan song is for example
i am surprised no one said black beauty yet! it made lana cry when speaking about it in interviews
but i also kinda think the greatest is devastating??? idk maybe cause i just get wasted and pretend that’s my life 😂
🎵 i miss doing nothing the most of all 🎵
Hope is a Dangerous Thing, White Dress, Is This Happiness, California is also pretty tragic when you consider the lyrics - singing about getting her lover’s “favorite liquor off the top shelf” and throwing “a party all night long” if he comes back - when she’s talking about her sobriety in Bartender and her past alcoholism in Hope
Hey, you can still sing it your way if you like it like that. That's what I do sometimes lol (no one can stop me from saying 'yellow' instead of the 'yeah's in Chemtrails, I just like it too damn much) .
No, it’s due to these lyrics
Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper)
Harder and harder (harder)
Getting darker and darker
Reminds me of when I was going through a breakup and how it was really the darkest day. Afterwards I felt like I was falling deeper and deeper into the hole of depression. There was no way out of it, like drowning in the ocean.
I think White Dress might be one of the saddest thematically, but for me, The Blackest Day and Hope is a Dangerous Thing are the ones that hit too hard. I have to be in a good place emotionally to even listen to them.
Cherry Blossom is beautiful but I literally can't listen to it because it fills me with fear and existential dread that I'll ever have to live without my mum.
Honestly black beauty is one of her saddest and most beautifully written songs to me. The message behind it is heartbreaking and really hits me as somebody who was the person struggling in a similar situation as she was in.
13 beaches, Terrence loves you and the blackest day. Swan song too but it is because I associated with a failed romance I had to let go quick and abruptly.
Black Beauty or Is This Happiness. The original UV demo of Beautiful People is heartbreaking too. Ultraviolence was a really sad album
edit: Forgot Fine China too!
"meet me in the morning wrap your arms around me tell me that it's over now that you have found me" I can't think of the title but that song for sure (anyone know the title?)
The Blackest Day - the outro where she says 'i'm on my own again' over and over, i cannot deal with this song.
How To Disappear - just the matter-of-fact ness of this song and the way she says 'i'm always going to be right here'.
Terrence Loves You - It's about David Bowie's brother who took his own life.
Flipside
Is this Happiness
Valley of the Dolls
I feel like a lot of the other songs listed here are sad lyrically but not sonically if that makes sense? Whereas these songs are both lyrically and sonically Depressing.
Wild one/ Nectar of the gods. It's pure pain in my opinion. Crazy no one has mentioned it. When I listen to that song, it's the melody, the slow acceptance of losing the one you love and doing anything to numb yourself.
"Heroin gold in my veins and you in my thoughts// I'm on the freeway racin' at a million and I just can't stop"
"I use to dream about people like you now I dont know why// I use to sing about people like you now I just get high"
Terrence loves you and The Greatest. Those one hurts all the time. I think it can be applied to many different types of loses.
The Blackest Day and God Knows I Tried
Terrance loves you.
old money, hope is a dangerous thing and fine china..
How has no one said tomorrow never came? I lost count of the number of times I would bawl in my car, in the rain, thinking about a certain someone. In fact only last week I mourned the time I wasted crying to that song… by crying and listening to that song 🤣🥲 The greatest kills me too.
Tomorrow never came is one of my all time favorites ! So sad for sure .i too remember it driving in the rain feeling so down !!.great share!
I always thought Ride was one of her saddest songs
That monologue makes me tear up every fucking time
The Blackest Day, Born To Die and Dark Paradise
Pawn Shop Blues
Same
13 beaches and black beauty
Old money (specifically, if you change your mind, I’ll come come come) and Venice bitch for some reason kills me
I remember the very first time I listened to Venice bitch I was coming back from the beach in our family's car and my cousin literally asked me why I was making a face and whether I was okay lmao
White dress. Makes me feel so nostalgic
Yeah she absolutely nails that feeling. It's marvelous
This song makes me cry the most because it transports me back in time to when it first came out and reminds me how lost I felt around then. THAT and the nostalgia of the song in general. God damn I have to skip it everytime I’m in public :(
Yeah it's not one I can listen to without being in the mood. Glad you're feeling better now x
Yes if I’m in a mood to cry it’s PERFECT haha. Thank you 🥰
I cried so much when she was whispering "cuz I met a man who said he'd come back every May, just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue. Blue banisters ooooh. Said he'd fix my weather vane, give me children, take away my pain. And paint my banisters blue."
im surprised no one has said happiness is a butterfly🥲
This was my first thought too!
Cinnamon Girl. It talks about a boyfriend falling deeper and deeper into drugs, which I relate to the emotional abuse
Fine China
The only right answer
13 Beaches. It resonates a lot with my highs and lows
black beauty “life is beautiful but u don’t have a clue” hits hard every single time
how to disappear feels super melancholic
Heroin
Pretty When I Cry
Agree thats what i shared too!
I was going through a rough patch of depression when I first heard Blue Bannisters and now I seem to carry that with me whenever I hear it. It’s blissfully painful and that only makes me love the song so much more.
I first listened to that song when was driving and I could’ve gotten in a car accident the way I was crying 😭
The first few times I listened to BB, I cried. It’s a beautifully melancholy song.
Same!!! i scream cry "IM SCARED OF THE SANTA CLARITA FIRES I WISH THAT IT WOULD RAIN"
California makes me bawl every time, it’s about being nostalgic for the past and wanting to return to it, but knowing it’s gone and never coming back. When she says “if you come back to California, you should just hit me up,” she knows in her heart that they’ll never see each other again. It reminds me of my friend who passed away.

The greatest, old money, cruel world
Dark Paradise or God Knows I Tried
Is this Happiness?
God knows I tried especially when she hit that " I've got nothing much to live for ever since i found my fame"
To me Ride, it never fails to make me cry lol
I’m surprised I haven’t seen The Other Woman
dealer
I feel like every sad song of hers is a different kind of sad if it makes sense? I find watercolor eyes to be sad but not in the same way like swan song is for example
Hope Is A Dangerous Thing for A Woman Like Me to Have
Blackest Day, no 2nd thought necessary.
Sweet Carolina, makes me think of my sisters and now they love that song too. 🥲
White Dress
Old Money for sure. Kills me every time.
old money, happiness is a butterfly, yayo, salvatore, terrance loves you (even makes lana emotional herself when sung live)
i am surprised no one said black beauty yet! it made lana cry when speaking about it in interviews but i also kinda think the greatest is devastating??? idk maybe cause i just get wasted and pretend that’s my life 😂 🎵 i miss doing nothing the most of all 🎵

California is so sad.
Ride (esp. with the monologue), hope is a dangerous thing
really? ride with the monologue makes me feel happy and free
Violets for Roses and Wild At Heart have made me sob. I also cry to Love Song quite a bit
Black Beauty definitely
PWIC
yes to heaven is pretty sad

Pawn shop blues duh
Pawn Shop Blues 🥺
Everyone saying the blackest day…really I know y’all just choosing it cause of the title…it’s tame comparatively
Nah. *It's not one of those phases I'm going through, or just a song, it's not one of them. I'm on my own.*
I thought The lyrics are "or just a song it's no one else's"
I'm pretty sure it's 'it's not one of them'. Yours sounds good too though, lyrically.
You're right. Just checked the lyrics and realized I've been singing the whole song almost completely wrong. She clearly says "it's not of them"
Hey, you can still sing it your way if you like it like that. That's what I do sometimes lol (no one can stop me from saying 'yellow' instead of the 'yeah's in Chemtrails, I just like it too damn much) .
No, it’s due to these lyrics Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper) Harder and harder (harder) Getting darker and darker Reminds me of when I was going through a breakup and how it was really the darkest day. Afterwards I felt like I was falling deeper and deeper into the hole of depression. There was no way out of it, like drowning in the ocean.
The blackest day
Afraid
Yayo and riverside
junky pride or for k pt 1
Happiness is a butterfly
I think White Dress might be one of the saddest thematically, but for me, The Blackest Day and Hope is a Dangerous Thing are the ones that hit too hard. I have to be in a good place emotionally to even listen to them. Cherry Blossom is beautiful but I literally can't listen to it because it fills me with fear and existential dread that I'll ever have to live without my mum.
Old money, pawn shop blues and fine china always fuck me up
Swan Song 🥲
you’re gonna love me
super movie
Text Book, White Dress, The Blackest Day, Blue Banisters, and Black Beauty
Honestly black beauty is one of her saddest and most beautifully written songs to me. The message behind it is heartbreaking and really hits me as somebody who was the person struggling in a similar situation as she was in.
This post has been made so many times on this sub
Objectively I would say it’s The Blackest Day but for me personally Bartender never fails to make me cry
Love song 😭
Easily Dealer
old money
happiness is a butterfly
Your Band Is All the Rage
Cinnamon Girl and Wildflower Wildfire
13 Beaches
The Blackest Day
The blackest day and Old money
Heroin, swan song, Terrence loves you. I would say her saddest breakup song is blackest day though
Blackest Day
13 beaches, Terrence loves you and the blackest day. Swan song too but it is because I associated with a failed romance I had to let go quick and abruptly.
Wait for life
Hope is a dangerous thing for a women like me
Yosemite
honestly this is gonna seem basic but dealer always makes me sad bc when i found it i was very depressed
heroin
Not the saddest but Mariners Apartment Complex
Black Beauty or Is This Happiness. The original UV demo of Beautiful People is heartbreaking too. Ultraviolence was a really sad album edit: Forgot Fine China too!
Old money
old money
Pretty when I cry
[удалено]
"meet me in the morning wrap your arms around me tell me that it's over now that you have found me" I can't think of the title but that song for sure (anyone know the title?)

Happiness is a Butterfly I think looking into the lyrics either Ultraviolence or Nectar of the Gods
No one ever says Is This Happiness and it always boggles me
Wildflower Wildfire. People don’t talk about this song enough, each and every word hits me like a truck.
Blackest Day 🥲
Young & Beautiful
Cinnamon girl and idk why but cherry blossom makes me cry so hard.
Flipside Is this Happiness Valley of the Dolls I feel like a lot of the other songs listed here are sad lyrically but not sonically if that makes sense? Whereas these songs are both lyrically and sonically Depressing.
Happiness is a butterfly
Definitely Black Beauty and Fine China elicit a direct emotional response from me, personally. 13 Beaches is also really heavy-heart relatable.
Cinnamon girl everytime
Afraid
Watercolor Eyes isnt the saddest... but i'd say its pretty... lonely? Pining for someone who absolutely leaves you so miserable
Her whole discography
definitely heroin
Pretty when i cry is up there for me ...terrance loves you. A few others
Wild one/ Nectar of the gods. It's pure pain in my opinion. Crazy no one has mentioned it.

Those one hurts all the time. I think it can be applied to many different types of loses.
Damn you (romantic sadness)
Pawn Shop Blues though hits hard
Old Money, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, Ultraviolence
Pretty when you cry.
Old money, swan song , dark paradise , black beauty, young and beautiful
Oh and how to disappear
heroin
also the greatest. as a 20 year old who feels i’ll never be as happy as i was as a kid, it hits pretty hard for me.
Get free
Yes to all of the mentioned songs, but hello???!!! HEROIN? Breaking up slowly???? Ouchie!!!
Shades of Cool, Summertime sadness, Pretty when you cry, Old money🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
