Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

[elialshadowpine]

Yeahhh... I listen to a lot of goth music so that's kinda par for the course.

Comes to mind immediately: "Collective Suicide" by Terminal Choice (the title should be self explanatory -- but the tune, esp for the club mix, is just so catchy!), "Kiss" by London After Midnight (the song is from the POV of someone who wants his lover to rape him and considers it an act of love), and "Further" by VNV Nation (which is possibly a little less disturbing but it's very nihilistic and one of the lyrics is "I know in darkness I will find you, giving up inside like me").

The music itself is catchy, and for some reason, disturbing lyrics actually make me like them more. Some of these are actually comfort songs for me, which totally boggles people. Feeling suicidal? Listen to a song about suicide. It cheers me up. I don't even know with my brain. Sometimes they actually inspire stories (... which means I have a lot of disturbing stories).

It's sorta weird, because in reality, these are all things that I recognize are NOT OKAY, but I see music as somewhat like fiction... songs are telling a story. It's fantasy, not reality.

That still doesn't stop people from going "WTF" when they see my Spotify on Facebook and find a music list of incredibly disturbing songs mixed in with Disney music or Broadway shows (although some of them can be disturbing in their own right... Phantom of the Opera, anyone?).
