*** The live rendition from [[LongTitle ''Welcome Back, My Friends, To The Show That Never Ends: Ladies and Gentlemen...]] adds to this an excerpt from King Crimson's "Epitaph" to close the section. With a length between 20-30 Minutes, this is no wank-fest to be shrugged off, touching anyone afflicted by war and conflict in general.

** You think the studio version is depressing, wait until you hear the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkfnNUdeo3w acoustic version.]] With Mike Ness sounding like he's about to break down at any given moment, along with the accordion solo and slower tempo, the acoustic rendition left this troper in tears.

* "Watch Me Bleed" by Scaring Kids Scaring Kids is about a particularly brutal break-up.
-->"You pierce my lungs\\
my limbs go numb\\
As my colors fade out\\
you watch me bleed\\
you watch me bleed"



** "Worn" should be added too as it just shows a pure exausted soul and just finally crashing down the singer's voice shows this too perfectly.

Specifically, it's written from the perspective of a grandfather telling his grandson about his service in [[UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 the Pacific Theater]]. This is moving on its own, but the final twist is what makes the song so utterly devastating: that the song is actually the narrator's DyingDream as he passes away on the battlefield, sending a simple message to a future generation that he will never see:
