What would be your sucide song?

[Too Much Fun]

Ever read Dante? Suicides get sent to hell

Yeah, that's my biggest argument against it. People supposedly kill themselves because they believe their life has become a living hell, but if killing yourself actually results in going to the actual hell, that just defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place. Life may feel like hell, but as long as you're alive there's always some measure of hope that things could get better, no matter how tiny. My idea of hell, however, is that it's just like life at its worst, without the ever-present hope.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Pretty dark topic, but it's something I don't think I have every heard anyone ever talk about before. Which to me, makes it a great topic. Anytime you can find a topic that comes close to being orginal it works for me.

Anyways the idea was inspired partly by how I would kill myself, if I ever did it. i would go off to some secluded place and take sleeping pills in my truck and go to sleep listening to music. Then it occured to me, I don't think I ever really thought about what song I would pick.

Also it's okay if you don't think you would every kill yourself or anythingl ike that. The idea is to find the song that just isn't sad but sort of reflects your soul as well.

Anyways the few songs I can think of would be


Everyone hurts=REM

Beatles=MY LIFe

Kansas=Dust in the Wind

Jason

Remember it is better to use the old style barbiturates if you can. The newer sleeping pills like Ambien you'd have to take a lot and probably down them with alcohol.

I have no idea of you actually go to Hell or not, and I would never judge anybody else's suicide anyway - it's not my place, thank God - and I mean that - but I expect like everything else...it depends.

But I know one thing for absolute sure, and that is that it puts the people who love you through hell, and that's something that really needs to be considered.

I agree with you on all those happy songs, Too Much. What's the deal with that?

Edit:

They're Coming To Take Me Away

Now that's funny!

My idea of hell, however, is that it's just like life at its worst, without the ever-present hope.

Ironically, in What Dreams May Come, that is precisely what hell is. "The real hell is your life gone wrong." Although this may be only for suicides (such as the wife in the film - her personal hell is a wrecked version of her own home).

 

[CaptainStoner]

I remember an old CSI show in which a guy offed himself to "The Peppermint Twist". It worked nicely, in a Tarantino sort of way.

So hell really is on Earth!

Actually sitting through the first half of What Dreams May Come was hell. Maybe the worst film I have ever seen.

If you're going to go through with killing yourself then you clearly don't have any "ever-present hope" anyway, so for those people life is already hell. If you had even the slightest morsel of hope remaining then you probably wouldn't go through with it. And while I don't have any statistics, I'd say that the majority of suicide cases probably don't believe in a god either and therefore don't believe in a hell. They're not killing themselves to get to an afterlife, they're killing themselves in order to stop existing.

Damn, I've gone and made myself feel morbid.

 

[Bloodwhiner]

"Who Am I" by Country Joe and the Fish

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, I'd only be committing suicide if I were terminally ill, so I'd play my favorite song to make myself happy in my final moments: "The 59th Street Bridge Song."

 

[Captain Ice]

Joy to the World.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Joy to the World.

Ah, but which one? The Christmas carol, or the one about Jeremiah the bullfrog?

 

[WillsBabe]

No suicide songs. Just peace and quiet. No one can sum up the state of mind better than I can.

 

[Kestra]

It's an odd choice but I'd pick this one:

Insomniac

"I can see you and I don't even know you
falling into the sheets at night
Place my hand flat on my chest
Feel the heartbeat back the night
I've tried counting sheep and I've talked with the shepherd
Played with my pillow forever and ever
I sit alone and I watch the clock
I breathe in on the tick and out on the tock
I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor
and I don't have to have these dreams no more
I've found someone who can pull me tight
and hold the insomniac all night
Dig my head down deep so I can't hear the cars
outside on the street and the stars are laughing
They get a kick out of my misery
I've tried everything short of Aristotle
to Dramamine and the whiskey in the bottle
I pray for the day when my ship comes in
when I can sleep the sleep of the just again"

 

[ShimmeringFacet]

What a morbid topic! I don't know something by Joy Division would be pretty appropriate.

But I wanted to say if you believe in reincarnation suicide is not really a good idea. You're just going to come right back and be taken through the issues again until you clear it up. Some schools of thought say you'll just increase the number of incarnations, and I doubt you'd want that.
In Tibetan Buddhism they say after 49 days the person will be reborn. They're very concerned about having fortunate rebirths; lives in which you'd have access to teachings and suicide might lead to a worse rebirth. They do believe you could be reborn as an animal or insect, too.
They say it takes a lot of merit to be born as a human.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Probably Shivers by The Screaming Jets, which is a cover of The Boys Next Door song.

 

[Darth Duck]

I can only see me offing myself if there's some terrible, uncurable disease that I've got and am in incredible pain. So with that in mind, it'd be plenty of Warren Zevon.
"My Ride's Here"
"Keep me in Your Heart"
"My Shit's Fucked Up"
"Dirty Life and Times"
"Sleep When I'm Dead"

 

[Ward Fowler]

Goodbye Cruel World by Pink Floyd

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Goodbye Cruel World by Pink Floyd

Not a long song though. You'd have to make it fast.

 

[Ward Fowler]

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to prolong it.
