Songs With Dark Subject Matter
 

I recently listened to the song iowa by slipknot. This song is one of those that is a bit dark.

The song is about murdering someone. And the **** Corey Taylor or supposedly did in the studio when recording the song adds to the creepy factor. He took broken glass and was cutting himself as well as vomiting all over himself while in the middle of recording the song.



What are some other songs with dark subject matter that you like?

About how a fire burned everything in sight, told from the perspective of the fire.

Ah! I don't know a single glam rock song darker than Bohemian Rhapsody, what with the killing and going to hell.

I find myself in the darkest depths of nu metal today.

Korn - Daddy

This a song about the lead singer, Jonathan Davis, getting raped by his father. The song beginning with an apology to his mother just gives it such a strange feel. Then it goes into a more of a standard Korn song followed with the usual shock lyrics. Then the screams of hatred and tears of terror start at the end and it makes you realize how personal this song is.

Family time murder suicide with a quick escapade to hell.


Chopping balls off and feeding them to the new eunuch, cutting out unborn babies, etc.


Self harm and abuse (their whole discography fits the category)

Strange Fruit always really gets to me for some reason.

Can't post links here yet, but the song that really creeped me out the most will be Robert Wyatt - Sea Song.
Something strange and scary is felt all along the songs. A true dark masterpiece.

Amazing song, but it's a love song which kinda eclipses all creepiness.

I also wrote in your thread how to post YT vids.
