Inspired by the sad songs thread. So very often, a song comes along that is the musical embodiment of a certain emotion, feeling, something. This thread is to post such songs in.

This isn't just to post songs you think are good - they have to fulfill the above requirement, musically, or lyrically (preferably both). So just post the song, and what it embodies. I'm not just looking for sad songs here - give me happiness, anger, fear - whatever. If you want, try to explain how it achieves this.

So, with out further adue, I give you something bleak and hopeless:



I think the atmosphere in this one owes a lot to the reverb creating that empty feeling. The dull, constant repetition of the drums and bass also bring a sense of unease to the song. And then of course, the lyrics:

"Suddenly I stop,
but I know it's too late.
I'm lost in a forest,
all alone.
The girl was never there -
it's always the same.
I'm running towards nothing
again and again and again."
