Top Ten Most Haunting Song Lyrics

The Top Ten
1 Extreme ways that help me, they help me out late at night, extreme places I had gone, that never seen any light, dirty basements, dirty noise, dirty places coming home, extreme worlds alone, did you ever like it planned? (Extreme Ways - Moby)

Pos, thank you for introducing me to this song with its indeed haunting lyrics. So beautiful.

Any lyrics from this song can go on this list.

I love this song!

2 You raise the blade, you make the change. You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door and throw away the key. There's someone in my head but it's not me. (Brain Damage - Pink Floyd)
3 So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell, blue skies from pain? (Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd)

I'd be surprised if you weren't hit by this lyric every time.

About the haunting story of Syd Barrett.

4 A city once full of people is desolate, is desolate... We look back in to the ruins where we played. At least we were together, holding hands, flying through the sky. (Sleep Alone - Moby)

Particularly haunting when you know that it relates to such a horrible event.

5 I don't remember anymore what I used to be... Where is the quiet piece of home where I could breathe? Just like a razor to my soul when I'm alone... (I Had This Thing - Röyksopp)

The song chills me every time, from start to end. But particularly this lyric.

10 This Is the End, Beautiful Friend. My Only Friend, the End. (The End - The Doors)

Am I the only one who gets really scared and feel like crying when this song play...it literally brings tears to my eyes

11 Hello Darkness, My Old Friend. (The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel)
12 And Michael You Would Fall and Turn the White Snow Red As Strawberries In the Summertime. (White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes)

13 Love is like a sin, my love, for the one that feels it the most... Look at her with a smile like a flame; she will love you like a fly will never love you again... (Paradise Circus - Massive Attack)

Comes from a German proverb: "In times of need even the devil eats flies". I'll leave you to ponder over its meaning.

14 People are strange, when you're a stranger, faces look ugly, when you're alone (People are Strange - The Doors)

23 I Read the News Today, Oh Boy. (A Day In the Life - The Beatles)
24 Wherever There Is You, I Will Be There Too. (Silhouettes - Of Monsters and Men)

All of the lyrics in the song are hauntingly beautiful, but this one phrase stands out a little more for me than the rest.

25 Put me on the train, send me back to my home. Couldn't live without you when I tried to roam. Put me by the window, let me see outside, looking at the places where all my family died. (Pale Horses - Moby)

That last heartbreaker is unexpected.
