Whether this song concerns suicide is disputed
and the waves
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves
Crashing in
Earth is a hollow hair,
part of a bigger head
It nearly drives me crazy
In the Himalayas
they have small rubber dolls
Recording all our actions
And here
come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye
of the land
That has been
down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves

After the Second World War began, [Virginia] Woolf's diary indicates that she was obsessed with death, which figured more and more as her mood darkened. On 28 March 1941, Woolf drowned herself by walking into the fast-flowing River Ouse near her home, after placing a large stone in her pocket

I prefer homicide.

I don't know if this qualifies, as he never mentions suicide and technically is still alive at the end. Judge for yourself.

The entire Purple Mountains album is a suicide letter. Shortly after it's release David Berman killed himself.
I’m aware of this, and I’m apprehensive about listening because I’m aware.

Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No though was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail
Pain, you know, you're right
I love Nirvana but I've never considered Cobain to have been a particularly great lyricist, but this song is a pretty stark exploration of the mind of someone who is suicidally depressed. The chorus line that effectively says, "You know what, pain? You're absolutely right. I should kill myself," is a difficult listen considering he did exactly that very shortly thereafter.

Little Elvis Hitler don't'cha follow me
These scars on my back - they're because of you
And these cuts on my wrists
They're just me trying to get away from you
And I'm still trying to get away
Which Way Do We Run? - Gov't Mule

This is pretty subtle in its reference to suicide:

One of the most devastating songs I've heard. Sturgill Simpson delivers it perfectly.
Great song. When he comes in with this verse it hits hard:
quote:
One more glass of wine for a love so true Then another and another, for today one just won't do There's no happy endings, only stories that stop before they're through
My contributions are not so subtle. But two great songs from Justin Townes Earle:
