What’s the darkest song you’ve heard?
It can be anything from unsettling vibes to dark lyrics.

Pumped Up Kicks.

I know some dark songs and always knew of A7X's A Little Piece of Heaven :P (Use to be up there in one of my favorites) but Pumped Up Kicks was paraded around all over radios and it was literally about ending people. What was chilling was how up tune it was, how no one seemed to care what the lyrics were about when school incidents were pretty high still, and how just mindlessly we all just loved the song.

Now that.... that is dark. xD

Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge has a pretty wild part in the middle that feels super dark to me.
Death - Baptized In Blood from start to finish feels very dark
Soap and Skin - Vater is about the death of her father, and it feels very dark. I would also say that her song "The Sun" is very dark as well. I classify her music as "dark piano" and jokingly sometimes think of it as piano metal.

Immortal Technique’s “Dance with the Devil”

It’s a true story about a gang banger wannabe who was forced to rape his mom and then committed suicide.

How silly would it be if I sent a song starring an anime girl with an upbeat melody that had messed up lyrics?

There are more extreme songs out there. This is a much more timid song, a more mellowed-out kind of song.

Compared to something like Metallica's "Master of Puppets," which is a song brewed from anger and distaste, Brothers in Arms is a much more sorrowful and human track. The lyrics aren't from the perspective of a killing machine, rather the opposite; yet still in the same setting.

The melody is quite mournful, I think. What makes it dark is that some people have actually lived out said lyrics. There's not much joy to be found in such a tune. It's not at all uplifting or stimulating, which is fitting. It's like the last sip of coffee left in your mug that's turned cold and bitter.

"Black Powder" from Kingdom Hearts Union x.
It's a battle theme exclusively used during the Keyblade War, a five-way civil war fought by hundreds or thousands of child soldiers and five adults, of which the only survivors were the five adults and one child.
It haunts my dreams at times.

You can basically sun up the war as one big game of Among Us.

There is this song called Gloomy Sunday and it has a fame of ppl k1ll1ng themselves because of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FP1LfkkVQ

''There have been several urban legends regarding the song over the years, mostly involving it being allegedly connected with various numbers of su1c1des, and radio networks reacting by purportedly banning the song. However, most of these claims are unsubstantiated.''

Press reports in the 1930s associated at least 100 su1c1des, both in Hungary and the United States, with "Gloomy Sunday".

An impossible game of Among Us where the Impostor is the ship because the only traitor was the Master of Masters.
