* The utmost example is "Junta", with being about [[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113966999 the Guinea stadium massacre and its following mass-raping]] is only a given. To put it into perspective: around 50-100 people died that day, while women were sexually assaulted by soldiers. The song focuses on one, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone who was only let go when one of her rapists recognized her]], and was traumatized to the point of being DrivenToSuicide. Oh, and the last line notes that [[KarmaHoudini no justice may ever be served for all of those involved]].

* "Hanging Gardens" gets some of this, if you know the story behind the lyrics. While the song itself can be described as NightmareFuel than TearJerker, the lyrics were inspired by a suicide note left by Arthur von Nagel's father (who, thankfully, didn't pull through it).

-->Perhaps if I tread further,
-->Past where my feet engraved
-->My last mark upon the world,
-->I'd find a face within the waves.

* "A Sovereign Act", which is about the [[FaceDeathWithDignity Death With Dignity Act]].
-->A gathering of kin to witness my final breath
-->Their hands and words allay me
-->Memories to bring to death

* "The Emigrant's Wake". SuicideIsPainless taken to hopeless and despairing levels.
* The second half of "A Howling Dust". An innocent Chinese man is brutally lynched by a mob conjured up by the protagonist's father due to a huge misunderstanding. They both undergo a MyGodWhatHaveIDone stage, and the father ends up drinking himself to death, leaving the protagonist with the job of burying him in the midst of a DyingTown. The last lyrics are a desperate plea that someone will stick around to bury him as well.
-->Soon all the gold mines dried
-->but that blood never did.
-->Red still stains the jail cell wall.
* Arthur's voice cracking on the line "Was Christ not crucified?" in the song "Blood on the Cornfields" can be this, if a bit unintentionally so.
