Although the music is kick arse, I don't know of a more bleak/depressing song than "One" by Metallica.
Or Fade to Black:
quote:
Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Brand New - Limousine
The song was written about the death of 7-year-old Katie Flynn. Katie had been the flower girl at her aunt's wedding and left in a limousine. The limousine was hit by another car and Katie was decapitated. Katie and the limousine driver, Stanley Rabinowitz, were both instantly killed. The driver of the other car, Martin Heidgen, 25, had at least 14 drinks that night and his blood alcohol content, at 0.28%, was more than three times the legal limit in New York (0.08%). He drove more than two miles north on the southbound side of the highway the Flynn family were driving along at the time of the collision.
The song switches perspectives from Katie's mother to the drunk driver throughout the verses. It was also said that her mother found and held Katie's head while waiting for the first responders to arrive.
"We'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth.
We'll never have to rot underneath dirt.
I'll never have to lose by baby in the crowd.
I should be laughing right now."

Bread's "Everything I Own." Always thought it was about a girl. When I found out it was about his late father, it hit me right in the feels.

Saw that Elephant by Isbell was mentioned multiple times, but another good one if you know the backstory is Dress Blues. Here's an article I read a while back (on ESPN of all places 
) LINK
Eta: Wright Thompson is the author of that piece so I highly recommend reading if
