9* ''Music/TheBeatles'': "Run For Your Life," [[ItMakesSenseInContext despite its pleasant jangly sound, is about a man threatening to murder his girlfriend if she gets with another man]].
10* ''Don't Leave Me'', a very early song by Music/{{Green Day}} sings about the narrator losing control of his emotions because there an unsureness as to whether or not his love will come back to him.
11-->I'll go for miles\
12'til I find you\
13You say you want to leave me\
14But you can't choose\
15I've gone through pain\
16Every day and night\
17I feel my mind is going insane\
18Something I can't fight
19
20-->A blank expression\
21Covering your face\
22I'm looking for directions\
23Out of this place\
24I start to wonder\
25If you'll come back\
26I feel the rain storming after thunder\
27I can't hold back
28
29-->Don't leave me\
30Don't leave me\
31Don't leave me\
32Don't leave me
33* "Closer" by Burn Season contains the following lyrics which imply this:
34-->Don't say that its over\
35I'd kill to be closer\
36A moment I'm passing to you\
37But to me\
38I will wait\
39And I'll take\
40Anything with your name\
41Don't say that its over\
42You can't live without me\
43You say there's something wrong in my head\
44So I like to bleed\
45You say I'm scaring you now but I'm tired\
46From watching you sleep\
47I'd erase what you say\
48Scramble words in the way\
49But you can't take away\
50Turn away\
51Run away\
52Fuck with me
53* In "Liar" by ''Music/EmilieAutumn'' Emilie sings the following:
54-->I want to mix our blood, and put it in the ground. So you can never leave. I want to earn your trust, your faith, your heart; You'll never be deceived.
55** Becomes interesting when it was revealed that these are not just lyrics, but what Autumn's boyfriend spoke to her at one point. Verbatim.
56* ''Music/{{Eminem}}'' has a tendency for break up songs or singing about how a guy gets possessive around his girlfriend to [[{{Yandere}} murderous]] degrees.
57** In Eminem and Rhianna's song "Love The Way You Lie" Eminem threatens about how if his girlfriend ever leaves him he'll set fire to their house with her in it after restraining her to the bed.
58** "Kim" by Eminem is what happens to a male Yandere just after he snaps. It is not pleasant to listen to. He ends up shouting at her when he found her with another guy, killing the guy, and locks her in trunk.
59** From the same album (The Marshall Mathers LP), Eminem gives us the song "Stan" about a yandere stalker's descent into madness when he thinks Slim (the star he's yandere for) is rejecting him by not sending him letters. He ends up killing himself and his girlfriend who's pregnant with their child. Turns out he gets them ''after'' Stan kills himself.
60** In "Starbound" he snaps his girlfriend's neck and then kills himself.
61* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5KGbxNTDB8 Smoke and Mirrors]]" by Jayn is an original song written specifically with the yandere genre in mind. The lyrics are explicitly about a girl kidnapping her childhood friends wife and threatening to murder her if he refuses to be with her. [[spoiler:She kills her]].
62-->I'm not asking much\
63Just give me your heart\
64and put no one else above me\
65Go on, say you love me!\
66Take my hand in yours and tell me that I'll always be the one\
67Without you my life means nothing\
68So just say you love me tonight!\
69And if you lie, this poor girl will have to die
70* ''Music/{{Kesha}}'' sings to "Stephen" that she "can't take rejection".
71* Inside Out makes a parody of "Happy Together" and transform it into a song about a guy who was rejected by his girlfriend. He takes a ShowerOfAngst while eating out of depression, worships a StalkerShrine of her, says he's going to force her to come back to him, and stalks her complete with SlasherSmile. At one point he takes her cat and threatens to hurt it unless she talks to him. He's arrested at the end of the song.
72* Played for laughs in Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haa".
73* ''Music/{{Pink}}'' slowly goes insane when her boyfriend attempts to leave her in the music video "Please Don't Leave Me".
74* In Music/ThePolice's BlackComedy song "Can't Stand Losing You" rejection from a girl is the last straw for a teenage boy before [[DrivenToSuicide he opts for suicide]].
75* Music/SoundHorizon:
76** The girl from "Baroque" is a PsychoLesbian yandere nun (going by her costume in the live version, anyway) who kills the girl she loves for rejecting her.
77** And in "Stardust", Stella, an actress who's implied to be a WhiteDwarfStarlet, shoots her lover after catching him with another girl. "The bouquet in my left hand can't stop the impulse [read: gun] in my right..."
78** There's also the song "Yield", which is more or less about a girl living at a farm who is in love with her father, and when he doesn't return these feelings, she murders both him and her mother.
79* Music/TylerFarr: In "Redneck Crazy", he lists off all the ways he's going to make his ex's life hell for breaking up with him.
80-->Did you think I'd wish you both the best,\
81[[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Endless love and happiness?]]\
82You know that's just not the kind of man I am\
83Yeah, I'm the kind that shows up at your house at 3 A.M.\
84I'm gonna aim my headlights into your bedroom windows\
85Throw empty beer cans at both of your shadows\
86I didn't come here to start a fight,\
87But I'm up for anything tonight\
88You've gone and broke the wrong heart, baby
89* In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E52rxz2sjRs The Willow Maid]]", a young man lusts after the titular willow maid and asks her to marry him. After she rejects him, telling him that she cannot leave the forest, he chops down her tree. Predictably, this leads to her death.
