  • For me, it would be At the Bottom or Limousine by Brand New.

    At the Bottom:

    Wait
    I watched you throw out your bouquet
    Now I think about you everyday
    I'm alone now in my bed

    And there's a lake
    And at the bottom you'll find all our friends
    They don't swim cause they're all dead
    We never are what we intend, or invent
    'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
    Think something dark's living down in my heart

    And if I wanted to die before I got old
    I should've started some years ago digging that hole
    Well I carry this box to the proper place
    And when I lower it down
    I let it you fade away
    I hope that you would do this for me
    I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
    If I thought it would help you get away
    I hope that you would do this for me

    A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
    Some dogs that got hit by cars
    All came to spill their guts

    And we spoke
    About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
    And which songs we had loved the most
    And then we all turned to dirt
    And dust
    Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
    Some die looking for a hand to hold

    Well I carry this box to its proper place
    And when I lower it down
    I let you fade away
    I know that you would do this for me
    I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
    If I thought it would help you get away
    I hope that you would do this for me

    I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates
    Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
    Well explain myself to me on the other side
    I'll watch from Heaven when I die

    Well I carry this box to the proper place
    And when I lower it down
    I let you fade away
    I know that you would do this for me
    I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
    If I thought it would help you get away
    I hope that you would do this for me

    Limousine:

    'K', here's your ride
    Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
    Pretend you are God, and grow
    And that it's your day to wed
    We have found your man
    He is drinking up
    He's all-American, and he'll drive
    He has volunteered with grace to end your life
    We'll tidy up
    It's sad to hold, but leave your shell to us
    You explode, you firefly, you tiny boat with oars
    Feather oars
    The world tilts back and pours and pours
    And so, you satellite
    You're a tidal wave
    You're a big surprise
    And I've one more night to be your mother"

    The signal interrupted
    My baby's frequency not strong enough
    Remain in my hands and smile

    We will miss you but in time you'll get set up
    And we will write

    Hey, you beauty supreme
    Yeah, you were right about me
    But can I get myself out from underneath
    This guilt that will crush me
    In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah
    He was bored and tired of my laments
    He said, "I died for you one time, but never again"

    Never again...

    Well I love you so much
    But do me a favor baby and don't reply
    Cause I can dish it out
    But I can't take it
     

    Mr. Magius

  • That's a really hard one because I listen to some hardcore genres of metal. But if I had to choose I would definitely go with Death.

  • from my collection, well it's really rather ironic that my song with the darkest lyrics happens to be a My Little Pony fan song.

    here's the lyrics to it

    Spoiler:
     

    Aeon.

    I mainly listen to metal subgenres so this is a tough one. I'd probably have to say a song from Whitechapel though, unsure which though.

  • Honestly, anything by Slipknot, and they're my favorite band.

    A clean example...:
    (Snuff [one of their only soft songs]... Apparently it was written about Corey Taylor [the lead singer]'s ex-wife, but was later dedicated to the late bassist, Paul Gray.)

    Bury all your secrets in my skin.
    Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins.
    The air around me still feels like a cage
    And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

    So if you love me, let me go.
    And run away before I know.
    My heart is just too dark to care.
    I can't destroy what isn't there.

    Deliver me into my Fate -
    If I'm alone I cannot hate
    I don't deserve to have you...
    Ooh, my smile was taken long ago,
    If I can change I hope I never know.

    I still press your letters to my lips
    And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss.
    I couldn't face a life without your light,
    But all of that was ripped apart, when you refused to fight.

    So save your breath, I will not hear.
    I think I made it very clear.
    You couldn't hate enough to love.
    Is that supposed to be enough?

    I only wish you weren't my friend.
    Then I could hurt you in the end.
    I never claimed to be a Saint...
    Ooh, my own was banished long ago,
    It took the Death of Hope to let you go

    So break yourself against my stones
    And spit your pity in my soul.
    You never needed any help...
    You sold me out to save yourself...

    And I won't listen to your shame.
    You ran away, you're all the same.
    Angels lie to keep control...
    Ooh, my love was punished long ago,
    If you still care, don't ever let me know...
    If you still care, don't ever let me know...

    Ehh I listen to a lot of metal and stuff so a lot of my music has very 'dark lyrics', but I'd say amongst the two worst are Scream Aim Fire by BFMV and A Little Piece of Heaven by A7x. The first is basically about God telling someone to murder countless people by closing his eyes and just screaming and firing till everyone's dead, and the second is about... well, I'll let you Google that for yourself since it's entirely unsuitable for PC, but it's certainly not cheerful. So I'd go with those two, probably A7x taking the lead. :3
