Falling,
a worm crawling,
my skin,
it’s hurting,
choking,
this burden,
my hopes,
broken,
not coping,
the wind,
it’s hurling,
aching,
shaking,
these chains,
never breaking,
burst open,
inside’s facing,
a monster,
a volcano,
erupting,
I’m fine,
you’re mistaken,
the truth,
I’m embracing,
the worst part,
I’m making,
never thought,
I’m hating,
these senses,
fading,
reaching for the dark,
I’m saying…

Haemorrhage…
my last breath,
sickening,
inside my head,
it’s over,
nothing’s left,
turn me into ashes,
maybe, I’ll rise again..

Misery,
salt in my wounds,
dripping,
red drops,
nothing new,
blazing,
the body’s consumed,
pain,
the flesh, sewn,
noises,
veins in fumes,
push back,
can’t control,
give back,
the life,
but it’s owned,
tell me,
if death’s of any use?
lying,
I’m still confused,
laughing,
you cut loose,
bury me in hell,
but,
I’m here to rule…

Haemorrhage…
my last breath,
sickening,
inside my head,
it’s over,
nothing’s left,
turn me into ashes,
and maybe, I’ll rise again..

A gem amongst the songs about depression on TUC. A short rap song that highlights the truth of life filled with depression. It depicts suffering, hurting thoughts, and suffocation.

A sad woman alone and huddled in a room depicting suffering, misery, and hurting thoughts.

Surrendering
to the helplessness,
the candle
blows away,
a storm crawls
beneath the door,
destroying,
what’s left inside of me.

Suffocating
in this dark pit,
a hope
decays,
the moon
eclipses the sun,
and the tides
create a rage.

Suffering
dawns upon me,
a silence
orbits my head,
the failure
wins the battle,
and pushes
the tranquility over the edge.

Screaming,
the voice disappears,
a cry for help
I seek,
running away from reality,
another day
of my miserable life bleeds.

#3 – Torn in two: Holding On

Wish I could find,
a cure,
this instability in my mind.

Nights and days,
fluctuating,
on the edge, and then I’m raging.

The present, I seem to live,
everyday,
the past hunts me down, I’m the prey.

The city lights,
a blackout,
a formidable enemy wins the bout.

The smile on my face,
a sadness,
creeps into me, it’s madness.

The calmness of the ocean,
a storm brews,
destroys my devotion.

Walking ahead,
pull me back,
my worst enemy, my own devise.

You think,
I’m fine,
but a dark room, my broken premise.

Shining stars,
moon eclipses,
a thousand scars, a thousand promises.

Surrender,
stare into the truth,
hanging, I’m torn in two.

Crippling my head,
the thoughts I created,
running from the light
my life’s faded.

This instability
eats me from within,
the fate holds me
until it all ends.

The darkness I walk into
brings me back to life,
the venom I kiss
shows me the way to paradise.

Rain pouring all over me
I smoke to the death,
the memories I lived all along,
have put my existence to rest.

There is thunder in my heart
and volcano in my blood,
the anger I feel
that creates a city of the flood.

An unknown rhythm
plays in my mind,
I wake up to the hurt
of the dark sights.

A silence,
has inhabited my soul,
I’ve become immune
to the laws of this world.

It’s time
to break these chains,
and show the world
the lost mettle of which I’m made.

I wait for the day
I’ll climb those stairs,
clutching the mike
vent out my despair.

That day
the stars shall fall
and the earth will crack,
my voice, deafening,
will paint the world in black.

Fading,
my imagination,
burnt,
in the sea of condemnation.
Walking,
on the road of intoxication,
bleeding,
in the search of my creation.

Confused,
of the path I tread,
tied,
with the chains inside my head.
Howling,
like wolves for the dead,
white,
the skin I shed.

Suffocating,
the breath it hurts,
drowning,
in the pool of my own blood.
Running,
the doors I shut,
voices,
still, pierce the wood.

Smoke,
fill my lungs,
stumbling,
I feel numb.
Fighting,
the wound of the stung,
poison,
destroys warmth of the sun.

Thoughts,
mix with emotions,
screams,
left in the devotion.
Sanity,
struck by the commotion,
buried,
deep within the ocean.

Erupting,
the voice in my core,
pledges,
the hurricane on the shore.
Death,
shouts at the door,
closing,
I feel no more.

A man crying in front of a burning house depicting broken memories, pain, and misery.

I’ve seen it all fall apart
The life pushing out from the eternal scars
It was never meant to be this way
I breathe but the blood inside decays

I’m going down and it feels like I’m chained inside
A wish for suffering
and nothing can bring me back from the other side

Motionless in an empty room
I’m thinking about something I can’t pretend
A thousand memories rush through my head
Suffocating, I can’t get out of this bed

I run far away from my shadows
They haunt me like a ghost on my back
I see nothing get through this head
It’s dark all around and I’m in a mess

I’m going down and it feels like I’m chained inside
A wish for suffering
and nothing can bring me back from the other side

I’m going down……
It’s hard to let you go
I’m so drowned in your memories
And I don’t know what to do
I’m gonna forget you someday
And maybe then my life shall fall in place

I’m going down……..

Waiting to hit the stage,
will I be finally cured?
they’re waiting to hear a voice,
will I be able to roar?.

My head hurts,
adrenaline rising within,
a sweet venom,
the black sinking in.

Standing against the wall,
the eyes shut,
the memories of you,
stuck in a rut.

Then, crying like a child,
the world I lived in,
burned down and destroyed,
and could do nothing.

I can’t believe
what have I done to myself,
just feel like pushing out
the storm underneath my skin.

I’ve hated
every breath I have breathed,
now, I need
to overcome this pain, hurt, and agony.

The world
may not understand my misery
but, my words
will send them a message, and heal me.

I want to scream
until my veins burst,
I want to scream
until my hurt gets hurt.
I want to scream
till my last breath,
I want to scream
beyond my death.

#8 – Animal: My Own Reflection

A man looking at his own reflection in a broken mirror depicting thoughts about self and inner struggle.

My walls,
are closing in
Can’t breathe,
it’s all too suffocating
Blood,
in the cracks
A disease,
No, but a victim outcast
Laughing,
I see you through that glass
Reflection,
you’re not, but a devil of my past

Infused,
you’ve been since that time
Love,
when I surrendered to die
Assassin,
you’ve been of my soul
Fault,
it is but of my own
Escape,
I can’t now from your trap
A Predator,
I’ve become of my own mishap

Darkness,
the sunshine in me
Shadows,
are mine, but don’t belong to me
Sadistic,
has become a way of life
Control,
have you now over my mind
Numb,
I’ve become to this world
Chained,
I’ve been within, with my emotions

Selfish,
is what I am now
Pain,
I don’t feel somehow
Expectations,
I don’t have any more
Love,
is nothing but a closed-door
Hate,
is like a venom I’ve drunk
You,
are an animal I’ve become

#9 – Bullet To The Head: Dark Love

Though categorized as a Love song, this short rap song is dark and talks about bad relationships and broken love. It depicts betrayal in love and how it leads to depression.

Songs about depression. A bullet and a flower side by side showcasing the lost and broken love, and misery.

Devil,
in the mirror
Glass,
in the hand, shivers
Shirt,
stained with blood
Memories,
filled with disgust
Gun,
pointed at my head
Realized,
the biggest mistake
Too late,
to make it alright
Love,
I lost that night
Dreams,
were shattered
Fights,
we suffered
Betrayal,
a big surprise
Your love,
a curse to my life
Forgiveness,
Too good for you
Hurt,
my gift to you
Too heavy,
to decipher
Still why,
it was over
Another chance,
should’ve given
A Heart,
that was broken
But,
it all fell apart
A shot,
in the dark
Closed,
my eyes in pain
Tears,
went down the drain
This life,
pleading to get over
Time,
to pull the trigger
A Bullet,
to the mind
Peace,
in the afterlife.

#10 – The remains of you: Square One

One of the few rock songs about depression on TUC that highlights the misery of a person who has lost his/her loved one.

A crying angel statue depicting death and misery.

It’s time again
To pack my thoughts and let them go
I’ve been riding on this
But it doesn’t matter when you are all alone

Picking me up again and again
I don’t want to waste myself this way
I’ve come so far with thoughts of you
Still, I run towards the direction I shouldn’t go

Your shadows, I always chase
Deep in misery, I want to escape
They never let me go, a life I want to shun
And every piece of you brings me back to square one

The people are around
But I still hear you from far and beyond
The screams erupt from within me
but get lost in the crimson and suffocate me

I want to live this life
And move beyond the ashes of a lost fight
But the time never ends the misery
I rise and then fall from the chaos you left in me

Your memories, never fade
Lost in the hurt, the chains never break
They never let me go, a life I want to shun
And every piece of you brings me back to square one
