This playlist features 14 suicide-centric tracks by the likes of In Flames, Testament, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Megadeth, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Pantera, Ozzy, Judas Priest and more.

get off his back, this is actually a decent article, most of them songs are good. and believe me if you listen to them you wont think about suicide, all the songs are fast and up beat, i would kill my self if i listened to country music, singing about love!

metal suicide songs are ok but really if one is going to do suicide based songs the two best to go with are going to be don't fear the reper and blaphoumous rumors

If I listened to every lyric, from all of my favorite songs, then ACTED them out, I would be pretty twisted, don't you think? Yes, there were times that I felt the emotion, and related it to my experiences, but one realizes the differences between right and wrong, and you then remember how you overcame that emotion. People, do not take the hidden meaning as your own...unless you wrote the song! Stay alive, and enjoy the music!

10. Texusguy -
Some songs make you want to jump in front of a locomotive, figuratively speaking... but if I heard it a hundred times in a row, I wouldn't do anything drastic to harm myself. I would probably criticize the artist who wrote the song. Sometimes songs that have hidden meanings are merely how you translate them. When you see the videos, they have nothing to do with your interpretation, anyway!

It's not exactly "metal" Bloodhound Gang - Lift Your Head Up High (And Blow Your Brains Out).

Pantera Suicide Note is a great one.

12. Yahoo! Music User -
Half of those songs are terrible, and you still don't put the band death in there?

13. Scott -
