ALifeson85 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) What are some songs you guy's have heard that just pretty much disturbed/bothered/made you feel uneasy after you heard them? Here's a short list I've came up with so far: 30K Ft. by Assemblage 23 - The song's lyrics are from the viewpoint of a man whose on a plane that is about to crash. He's leaving a voice message on his wife's answering machine - bascilly telling her to tell his family and friends (and her) how much he loves them. Pretty depressing/disturbing...esp. the FINAL moment of the song. You'll have to hear it to see what I mean... Jeremy by Pearl Jam - About a boy who shoots himself infront of his classmates. Apparently, it's based on a TRUE story, so I've read... D.O.A. by Bloodrock - About a man slowly dying on the side of the road after being involved in a car crash. Pretty intense stuff, too Edited April 13, 2009 by ALifeson85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Cannibal Corpse has some chilling lyrics. Graphic descriptions of necrophilia, etc. Back in the day, the songs "Black Sabbath" and "NIB" gave me the creeps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - Cannibal Corpse has some VERY graphic lyrics...but the songs that disturb ME the most, are the ones that are a bit more "suttle", and not obviously TRYING to be shocking/disturbing. Another song for example... A Cautionary Tale by The Decemberists - about a mother, who at night when her kids are in bed, goes out to the local harbor, and prostitutes herself to sailors, so she can feed her kids. Pretty creepy song, both lyricly AND musicly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudzu Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Probably should mention "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" by The Killers, which is basically about murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid_Gloves Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The worst song I've ever heard would have to be "Shredded Humans" by Cannibal Corpse. Ugh, that song just makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisCounterpart Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think it's much more dificult, and sort of impressive to didturb by music itself rather than by lyrics (which is easy enough just write something gross). On several occasions I have been freaked out by the actual music - the intro of In The Flesh from The Wall. I remember putting it on for the first time on a remastered cd (v g quality - I guess it increases the impact) in a dark room. I had to turn it off after the first two chords. I was scared. Well I was 15 at the time. Another song that gives me the creeps because of music and not lyrics is Walking on the Air from the Snowman cartoon (I don't know if it's known in the US - it's British). So creepy. Makes me think the composer's selling his soul to Satan when I hear it. Nobody has ever shared my emotions on this though so far...

PuppetKing2112 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'd say Tori Amos's a capella recounting of her rape experience ("Me and a Gun") qualifies. And obviously you can't have a thread like this without mentioning Immortal Technique's "Dance With the Devil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
