* ''Film/BoBurnhamInside'' was written and produced while Burnham was in lockdown during the UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic. His songs and monologues get increasingly desperate and [[SanitySlippage unhinged]], and one of the last scenes has him simply break down sobbing. The final song "Goodbye" is also a {{Dark| Reprise}} RepriseMedley, as he finally gives into despair and swears to "never go outside again." [[spoiler:However, there's ultimately a RayOfHopeEnding, as the final scene shows Bo watching a recording himself, and, for the first time in the entire special, [[WhenSheSmiles gives a genuine (albeit small) smile]].]]

The second, ''Winterreise'', depicting a man who, having lost all hope, abandons his life to become a homeless wanderer, trudging endlessly through ice and snow in the middle of winter and having frequent suicidal thoughts but not the initiative to follow through on them, is so utterly bleak that the poetry would probably come across as completely over the top on its own, if it were not for the profoundly and devastatingly sincere music that Schubert wrote for it.

* "I May Not Awaken" by Music/{{Enya}}, amid a ''storm'' of other TearJerker topics. Specifically, it's about a child who's lost in the snow and clinging to threads of innocence to stave off despair, wishing on stars for lack of any better ideas as to how to go on. When she realizes [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids her wishes aren't changing anything]], she hits the Despair Event Horizon and reveals that she's suicidal.

* Alabama Pines by Jason Isbell. Oh God, Alabama Pines. The lyrics describe a dead end in one's pursuit of dreams and happiness, and can hit very close to home.

* ''Music/TheDownwardSpiral'' by Music/NineInchNails is a ConceptAlbum about this. It ends with the narrator being DrivenToSuicide (it's ambiguous whether or [[BungledSuicide not]] it worked, though).
** ''The Fragile'' has this as well- it IS a ConceptAlbum about depression, after all. Lots of individual songs by NIN are examples, as well.
