What are some song lyrics containing the words contemplating suicide?

Answer 1

Although a careful listen will reveal the singer actually does not want to die- by the end of the song, Reflections Of My Life by the Marmalade is one of the more depressing suicide oriented songs in modern times. Oddly the reason, if any is not given- though the singer wants to be taken back to his Old Home ( Pre-revolutionary Russia, one interpreter suggests) Reflections is very deep in the suicide bone. It can be hinted at the Happening is a sort of near-death experience song- not necessarily about sucide but it could so be interpreted. the strange telephone-call oriented song ( It must be him, by Vicki Carr invites analysis- the Girl is really depressed, it out-Piafs Piaf at her most uncontrolled (sanging!) such as the Nightclub versions of La Vie en Rose.-Te girl is either contemplating suicide or is in a do-or-die need for a rendezvous with the title Man, who is never identified- he may be either a Drug Pusher or an Abortionist. I can"t help but think that between the lines, the song is about abortion. . back to suicide- there were even some sickening and up-beat ditties in the late fifties ( Running Bear) which made light out of intertribal mutual suicide by jumping in the water.
