Wander the hospital, let your spirit fly
I am a lonely vessel, candle in the night
Wander the hospital, subconscious farewell
Memories and time will fade
How long do broken ships sail?

Lies and lies from generations die
Yet I'm the only one who questions
Why we're here
"Coping Mechanism" by Judicator

"I don't sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death" -"NY State of Mind," Nas
Definitely the Kendrick and Smiths lines mentioned earlier
"I would die, and I ain't talking hair color
I'm talking about the reality with my mother's eye water."
-"Ox Out The Cage," Cannibal Ox
"I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
And when it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?"
-"Hyperballad," Bjork
The songs "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" and "All We Have Is Now" by The Flaming Lips
"And one day in New York City, baby, a girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building fourteen stories high
And when her spirit left her body how it split the sun
I know that she will live forever all goes on and on and on and
She goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid"
-"Ghost" Neutral Milk Hotel

E.Smith - "King's Crossing":

"...can't prepare for death any more than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks inside your head...
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Falling down like an omen, a setting sun..."

definitely not my happiest post lol

This song was great to me back in the day 😄 Welcome to Black Parade the song had more motivational touch of death than Dead.

I think I'll drink myself into a coma
And I'll take every way out I can find
But morphine, codeine, whisky, they won't alter
The way I feel the way now death is not around

"I'm not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"Lightsleeper. What's keeping you from waking?" - Lawrence arms

the whole song which is titled "fireflies" is amazing, but that lyric in particular brings a perfect sense of melancholy.

My favorite Love and Death lyric has to be this one from The Smith.

"...And if a double-decker bus. Crashes into us. To die by your side. Is such a heavenly way to die"

Type O Negative tackled the subject of dealing with grief, death, etc. quite a bit. Check out “Everything Dies“.

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die Die- Avett Brothers, "Die Die Die"

In all seriousness, my favorite songs that regard death are the classic bluegrass tune "I'll Fly Away" and Elton John's "Sixty Years On." I mean, goodness, here's the first line-

"You walk me down to church when I'm 60 years of age
When the ragged dog they gave me
has spent ten years in the grave.

Senorita plays guitar
plays it just for you
my rosary has broken
my beads have all slipped through."

Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself:
Am I really scared of passing away? If it's today, I hope I hear a
Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the holy ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
Reeking the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
May the wound help my mother be blessed for many moons
I suffer a lot, and every day the glass mirror
Get tougher to watch; I tie my stomach in knots
--"Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" by Kendrick Lamar
