How does Hear You Me not belong? A song about a friend dying? Do not understand your train of thought.

Everything's depressing. There's no point or need in being specific, everything has the ability to be depressing.
Every sound can evoke pain when played right.

People get sad. Songs can make them sad. Songs are depressing. People are depressing.

Steven- Senses Fail

I remember being excited because a song title was my name, then the lyrics turned out to be super depressing.

[Kid B]

Hm. Did not know the meaning behind it. Others don't though.
You are the first person I've ever seen that didn't know the meaning to the song. May Angels Lead You In? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have the chance? Pretty damn obvious.

[Kid B]

People get sad. Songs can make them sad. Songs are depressing. People are depressing.
Some songs are more sad than others, obviously. No need to overthink it.
