Songs with dark, but profound, lyrics

Paramedics brave and strong
Up before the break of dawn
Putting poker faces on
Broken bodies all day long
The neighbors heard a fight
Someone had a knife
It must have have been the wife
Husband's lost a lot of blood
He wakes up screaming
"Oh my God, am I gonna die?
Am I gonna die?"
As they strapped his arms down to his sides
At times like these they'd been taught to lie
"Buddy just calm down, you'll be alright."
Several friends came to his grave
His children were so well-behaved
As the priest got up to speak
The assembly craved relief
But he himself had given up
So instead he offered them this bitter cup
"You're gonna die, we're all gonna die
Could be twenty years, could be tonight
Lately I have been wondering why
We go to so much trouble to postpone the unavoidable
And prolong the pain of being alive"

IDK if its profound but
Don't stand so close - Police is pretty damn dark and sick especially in the light of 2024.

Toadies - Tyler
And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait
We can drive to anyplace,
day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here,
and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway, against the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight!
And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait
We can drive to anyplace,
day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here,
and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway, against the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight!

Secret of the Easy Yoke by Pedro the Lion
I could hear the church bells ringing
They pealed aloud your praise
The members faces were smiling
With their hands outstretched to shake
It's true they did not move me
My heart was hard and tired
Their perfect fire annoyed me
I could not find you anywhere
Could someone please tell me the story
Of sinners ransomed from the fall
I still have never seen you
And some days I don't love you at all
The devoted were wearing bracelets
To remind them why they came
Some concrete motivation
When the abstract could not do the same
But if all that's left is duty
I'm falling on my sword
At least then I would not serve
An unseen distant lord
Could someone please tell me the story
Of sinners ransomed from the fall
I still have never seen you
And some days I don't love you at all
If this is only a test
I hope that I'm passing
'Cause I'm losing steam
And I still want to trust you
Peace be still
Peace be still
Peace be still
Peace be still

Couple that I thought of immediately...
Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a-roll
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Yvette - Jason Isbell
I might not be a man yet,
But your father will never be,
So I load up my Weatherby.
I let out my breath
And I couple with death.
I couple with death.
Saw your father last night in the window the light made a silhouette.
Saw him hold you that way, he won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette.

Cast No Shadow - Oasis
Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow...
Edit: Typo and I screwed up the link embed.

Dave Bazan is such a gifted songwriter. Really puts incredibly complicated and conflicted feelings into somewhat stomach-able lyrics.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Pink Floyd
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun

Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way

dredg - Kalathat
He lived the life, never offended, he played by the rules
Struck the right chords, he never was out of tune
Sacrificed every second for his kids and wife
Thought to himself, "If I only had more time"
He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well, it's a problem to resolve someday"
Commuted daily to his high-tech job
Waited in line patiently with the rest of the mob
Now a taste of success can forever jade
When the pink slip arrived he'd finally lost his way
He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well, it's a problem to resolve someday"
He abandoned his family, he's by himself
There's nothing left now, no substance, no wealth
His whole life was work and business
He could hardly see
The story of a jaded man
Who'll never know what could have been
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days
Well, it's a problem that he'll solve
Well, it's a problem he resolved

Regina Spektor - Chemo Limo
Basically, written from the perspective of a young mother dying of cancer in her hospital bed.
Basically, written from the perspective of a young mother dying of cancer in her hospital bed.
quote:
I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over
Babysat all four of my kids
Then in my dream
I told the doctor off
He said if you don't want to do it
Then you don't have to do it
He said the truth is
You'll be okay, anyway
Then in my dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin and the doctor
Went and had a talk with my boss
Something about insurance policies
They kept the door closed at all times
I couldn't hear or see
When they came out they said
You'll be okay, anyway
And I smiled cause I'd known it all along.
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I don't have to pay for this shite
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to to die like this
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And besides this shite is making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
You know I plan to retire some day,
And mama gonna go out in style
Go out in style
This shite it's making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
Mama gonna go out in style go out in style
When I woke up
My kids were being quiet
I knew it was a dream right away
I called the limousine company
Then I got dressed
I dressed the kids as well
The limousine pulled in and we piled in
The doctor he asked which way we were headed
I said, Sir, let's just go west and he listened obediently,
Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBC
Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me all about the meanies
Jacqueline was being such a big girl with her cup of tea looking out of the window
And Barbara, she looks just like my mom
Oh my God, Barbara
She looks so much like my mom
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to pay for this shite
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine
No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you
I ain't about to die like this
I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo
And besides this shite is making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me die
You know I plan to retire some day,
And I'm-a gonna go out in style
Go out in style
This shite it's making me tired
It's making me tired
It's making me tired
I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style
Style. Style. Style. Style....

Wasted Time - Skid Row
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day?
I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough-talking youth naïveté
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself when you think of what you've left behind?
Paranoid delusions, they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know?
He's all alone, he's buried deep within
A carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding?
Why can't you believe you can be loved?
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself when you think of what
You've left behind?
Whoa-oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, you said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself when you think of what
You've left behind?
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to gray
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end our memory, yeah
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
Oh, I never thought, I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy, oh, no
I never thought, I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy, no
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day?

We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Filter- Hey Man Nice Shot.
I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could've taught me
I could've saved some face
They think that your early ending was all wrong
For the most part they're right
But look how they all got strong
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot"
"A good shot, man"
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot"
"A good shot, man"
A man
Has gone
Hey, man
Have fun
Oh, nice shot, man
Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear
You'd fight and you were right
But they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face
And let you smell what they consider wrong
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot"
"A good shot, man"
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot"
"What a good shot, man"
A man
Has gone
Hey, man
Have fun
Nice shot!
A man
Has gone
Hey, man
Have fun
Oh, nice shot, man!
Oh, nice shot man!
Oh, I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you, yeah
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I'd say, "Nice shot"
