Context TearJerker / EmilieAutumn

Go To

1* The story in the booklet to the ''Enchant'' re-release about a faerie who gets her wings ripped off by a man she loved.
2* The Anti-Bullying video: She cries, you cry, everyone cries.
3* "Castle Down."
4* "What If." It's just so... gah.
5* "Ever."
6* "Save You." So [[LyricalDissonance sweet, tender]], and utterly ''desperate'' with the narrator believing she has to push her lover away because she can only make them miserable.
7* "I Want My Innocence Back." The title alone can and does hurt.
8** The song can easily be seen as horrifying, as well.
9* "Gothic Lolita," for any survivor of sexual abuse but more importantly for Emilie herself. While she hasn't done it on stage, she does want to do it live in the future.
10* "Mad Girl."
11* Her cover of "Asleep" counts.
12* "God Help Me" Just... ouch.
13* "Liar," especially remixed (Music/{{Angelspit}} and WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}) is flat out this, especially played right after one another.
14* Even the instrumentals sometimes count!
15* "The Art of Suicide."
16* The ending of "Take the Pill," from ''Fight Like a Girl''. Most of the song is "standard" and often angry or scary, but right at the end it becomes just gentle, tinkling, quiet music. You realise that what's happened is she's taken the pill and been subdued, with all the effects the song had been talking about earlier.
17* "What Will I Remember" is kind of beautiful and tear jerking in its softness and insecurity.
18* "Fight Like a Girl" any track, either for its LyricalDissonance or for its true to life ability despite being an "story" and context. It's easier to list the ones which might not drive you tears.
19* ''One Foot in Front of the Other'' serves as a ''very'' BittersweetEnding to FLAG. Now that the asylum inmates are free, how do they function in normal society? "One foot in front of the other foot in front of the one foot in front of the other foot..."
20* "Thank God I'm Pretty," particularly to any woman who's ever been objectified or degraded solely because of her looks.
21* "Marry Me" is already pretty freaking depressing, but it's the last lines that are especially tear-jerking:
22-->But oh, what beautiful things I'll wear
23-->What beautiful dresses and hair
24-->I'm lucky to share his bed
25-->So why do I wish I was...?
26* ''Gaslight''. Pretty much all of it, but especially:
27-->Below my window, I hear a horse go by
28-->and in the next cell, an inmate starts to cry.
29-->We try our best, though, the quiet down the fuss,
30-->we know tomorrow, it could be one of us!
31** And at the end, when she sings the lyric: "And no one's coming, coming to take me... Home...", she just sounds so ''broken''.
32* The ending of the "Fight Like a Girl" music video, [[DoomedByCanon if you know how the book ends]].
