* While being a [[NightmareFuel nightmare fueled]] ConceptAlbum, ''Music/TheDownwardSpiral'' also does feature some very somber tracks:
** The opening track "Mr. Self-Destruct" is NightmareFuel through and through, but the last verse can hit pretty strong especially for those who suffer from depression. The fact that the repeating "And I control you" line goes from being mocking to somber only makes it worse:
---> ''I am the bullet in the gun.''
---> ''I am the truth from which you run.''
---> ''I am a silencing machine.''
---> ''I am the end of all your dreams.''
** The outro to "Closer". After a multi-layered and chaotic musical climax, the song segues into a heartbreaking detuned piano melody.

** [[HopeSpot "A Warm Place"]], especially at the end -- when it starts fading into [[NightmareFuel "Eraser"]] and you realize the brief glimpse of hope is over.
** [[JumpScare The slam cut]] from "Big Man With a Gun" to "A Warm Place" can be rather gut-wrenching as well when you understand what just happened in the context of the ConceptAlbum: The character went insane and either raped someone or committed a massacre (or at least got into a grandiose, depraved mania and tried to do so, or believed that they were doing so), then has retreated into his mind, the only place where he can find any sort of peace (and even that peace doesn't last, as seen above).
** "Hurt", especially in the context of the album -- particularly because Trent's vocals are haunting. It only doesn't reach much Tear Jerker potential due to LastNoteNightmare... but those fucking lyrics....
---> ''And you could have it all'',
---> ''My empire of dirt''
---> ''I will let you down.''
---> ''I will make you hurt...''
---> ''If I could start again,''
---> ''A million miles away,''
---> ''I would keep myself...''
---> ''I would find a way.''
** Music/JohnnyCash's cover is even worse, if only because it was being sung by a man in the twilight of his years, reflecting on his real-life failures. Trent himself said that the song wasn't his anymore.

** The lyrics to "Closer" are even worse, describing the protagonist engaging in sexual sadism in order to [[TroubledAbuser fill the empty void of depression in his life]] while being completely horrified and disgusted by himself and desperately begging the subject of the song to stay with him.
---> ''I broke apart my insides''
---> ''I've got no soul to sell''
---> ''The only thing that works for me''
---> ''Help me get away from myself''
