I tried and failed and I’m tired and weary I could live a little better with the myths and the liesĪbove me a bird slowly crawls across the sky I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder. I see my red door, I must have it painted black I look inside myself and see my heart is black “Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die”Įmptiness is filling me to the point of agony

afraid of confusion, no matter how thickĪnd the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane I don’t build up illusion till it makes me sick So, you think you can tell Heaven from Hell You know it’s never over, it’s relentless as the rain You remember the faces, the places, the names The grass in the valley is starting to dieĪnd out in the darkness the whippoorwills cryĪll I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees Some things I know will chill you to the bone

Mental Illness in Music Series (Part 1): The Saddest Song of All Time You can find additional resources for suicide prevention and recovery here on this site. You can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. If you are feeling suicidal or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out for help. Trigger warning: This post contains references to suicide and may be triggering for some people. The result is a haunting and emotionally raw composition that captures the pain of heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, i.e., the saddest song of all time. I removed slang and edited the lyrics to be in first-person tense, so that the song would be a personal reflection on pain, rather than a description of the pain of others. The “saddest song of all time” is a compilation of lyrics from different songs, spanning the decades from 1950 to 2000. Lyrics can stir up strong emotions, form a bond between strangers, transport us to a different place, or they can trigger personal memories or associations. However, this post focuses on lyrics, which can evoke powerful emotional responses. The tempo, rhythm, melody, and harmony of a musical piece can all be used to create a certain emotional mood. Throughout history, humans have used music to portray emotions. In this piece, I reveal “the saddest song of all time,” a lyrical representation of sadness, heartbreak, and depression. This is the first in a series called “Mental Illness in Music,” in which I will explore human emotion and mental disorders through song lyrics.
