Tear Jerker / Flaming Lips

• "Do You Realize??" by the Flaming Lips: The most life-affirming song about death ever.
  Do you realize
  That happiness makes you cry?
  Do you realize
  That everyone you know someday will die?
  And instead of saying
  All of your goodbyes
  Let them know
  You realize that life goes fast
  It's hard to make the good things last
  You realize the sun doesn't go down
  It's just an illusion caused by the world
  Spinning round...
• "Mr. Ambulance Driver", which has many of the same themes as "Do You Realize??".
• "Waitin' for a Superman", "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate"...
• "7 Skies H3" is probably the contender of the most depressing Lips song pre-Terror.
• Then there's Terror itself, which is a soul-crushing sort of dark that manifests in heavy listens like "Try to Explain".
• "Thirty-Five Thousand Feet of Despair." The title says it all.
• Nearly all of American Head, due to it being mostly an account of Wayne Coyne's dysfunctional upbringing.
