The first song I heard on a Columbine tribute was "What's This Life For" by Creed. They played it on the news. Everytime I hear that song, I think about Columbine.

Another one by Creed that seem to connect to Columbine is ''Bullets''.

I watched The Stand recently and the opening sequence used 'Don't Fear the Reaper' by Blue Oyster Cult.  It reminded me of Dylan's attitude toward Death.

That is a really good movie, not to mention I think Gary Sinise is an excellent actor. I've tried to get Ivan to watch that movie with me, but he doesn't like it. I read the book years ago, before I was even interested in Columbine. The book was great too, but really long. It took me like 6 weeks to read it but it was worth it. I found out after I got interested in Columbine that Eric enjoyed that movie too.

It's a bit like The Walking Dead apocalypse 90s style.  It's interesting to think of Eric, who hated tv, engrossed in this made for TV movie.  Parts of it are super cheesy but the opening really sucked me in.  I bet that Eric, if not Dylan, would have really dug TWD.

I listened to My Own Prison non stop for days after 4/20. I couldn't get enough of that cd.

"Cold Life"-Ministry

"The earth is such a filthy place. And human; such an awful race.
And I'd rather live in outer space, where death goes at a slower pace."





(This IS the same Ministry that some of you may know from the mid 90s.

However, the band has existed since the very early 80s and their entire sound and vibe was completely different then.

All the same, the lyrics in this one sound a lot like their mindsets that we have come to see through the information we have. Especially Eric's, with the "outer space" theme. Then again, Dylan, as well. He didn't call it outer space, but his view of another plane of existence fits into that very well.)

"Anatomy of a School Shooting" by Ill Bill

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, especially Dylan.

This is the first thing I thought of.

This is pretty good, lyrics-wise, and close to the real motives. I checked and the song was released in 2004. How could the song be so close to Eric's diary since it was released in 2006?

This song (well at least the title) reminds me of Eric.  And check the date it was released on youtube.

Yeah the title but Eric would have despised that song! lol Weird about the date too. Wow! Eric would have hated 99% of the crap music out there now.

"On the Turning Away" - Pink Floyd

(Lyrics)

This song really destroyed me when I first became deeply entrenched in this subject in the early-mid 00s.

I'd always known the song and I always loved it. But listening to it after getting into this subject (repeatedly being played on the radio), it just smacked me upside the head like a concrete boulder and I've never heard it the same way since.

Wave of Mutilation by the Pixies. Very Dylan-esque song

Tyler the Creator - Pigs

"Grab a couple friends
Start a couple riots
Crash a couple planes
Gather all the bullies
Crush them motherfuckers"

"Who are you again?
I'm Samuel and that's Tyler
We came to get wild and style in these trench coats!
Don't start asking what's packing in these trench coats
Just know if you start acting I'm grabbing for these trench coats!"

Tyler the Creator wrote 'Pigs' on the 14th anniversary of Columbine.

World Coming Down- Type O Negative

She thinks I'm iron man that I don't feel pain
I don't understand why joy must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate
That the mirror shows me an ingrate

I could easily start pointing fingers
Since the blame is mine it always lingers
That the truth it lies in my reflection
Though this can't go on there's no question

Yeah I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know
I know
I'm the one who brought it down
Brought it down
Bring it on down

How quickly pass the days long is the night
Lying in bed awake bathed in starlight
Better to live as king of beasts
Than as a lamb scared and weak

I will deny my role as a human
Holding myself hostage with no demands
It's better to burn (to burn) quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull (and dull) without a fight

Well I know
That my world is coming down
Now I know
I know
I'm the one that brought it down
Brought it down
Yeah, Bring it on down



Private Hell-Alice in Chains

Give away a love and then remove another too
Painted words adorn the walls, echoing untrue
I feel cold... uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Promises abound, you rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid to let you all the way in
I guess so... uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

Lately I'm beside myself, pretending unconcerned
Standing at a corner where I threw you on a turn
I'll move on... uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Flowers on a cross remain, marking an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill, turn the grass more green
Life is short... uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

This song reminds me of Eric, and the way he thought of himself leading up to NBK.


Becoming-Pantera


A long time ago I never knew myself.
Then the memory of shame birthed its gift.

No more. The small one, the weak one, the frightened one.
Running from beatings, deflating.
I'm becoming more than a man.
More than you ever were.
Driven and burning to rise beyond Jesus.

I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsize

I found my life was slipping through my hands.
Perhaps through death my life won't be so bad.

I can see you, can fuck you, inside of you.
Staring through your eyes.
Belittle your friends to serve me, to suck me,
To realize my saving grasp.
I of suicide.
I the unlord.

I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsize

Everyday is Exactly the Same by Nine Inch Nails, remiends me now Eric and Dylan, specially this part:

"Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end"

Odd one by Sick Puppies
Last resort by Papa Roach
Ready to die by Andrew W.K.
Thoughtless by Korn

I listened to Bohemian Rhapsody the other day and it made me think of Eric. "Mama just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger now he's dead. Mama life has just begun now I've gone and thrown it all away."

* "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People (duh), the music at least, makes me think of the atmosphere Eric and Dylan lived in during their lifetime in the '90s of Colorado - prior to the massacre. Meanwhile, the whistling makes me think of how excited Dylan particularly acted during the act.

* "I Would Do Anything for You" by Foster the People definatley makes me think of Dylan and his crushes, particularly the line, "And I smile when you speak..."

* "Fallen Angel" by Aimee B. makes me think of Rachel Scott.

* "Light Me Up" by the Pretty Reckless reminds me of Cassie Bernall.

the song videotape by radiohead reminds me of columbine

I don't know why but the song seems so fitting.

killing in the name - Rage against the machine

Even though they hated rap music, two songs that always remind me of E&D are "Yonkers" and "Radicals" by Tyler the Creator.

Particulars from Yonkers:
"I'm a fuckin' walkin' paradox -- no I'm not."

"Shut the fuck up, here's the number to my therapist
You can tell him all your problems, he's fuckin' awesome a listening."

"Jesus called, he said he's sick of the disses
I told him to quit bitchin', this ain't a fuckin' hotline."

"(Fuck everything, man) That's what my conscience said
Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience is dead
Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement
Actions speak louder than words, let me try this shit -- dead"

It reminds me of the workings of their minds for some reason.

And, the more obvious "Radicals:"

"Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.
Kill people, burn shit, fuck school.

I'm fuckin' radical, I'm motherfuckin' radical
I'm fuckin' radical, I'm motherfuckin' radical."

Tyler the Creator also made a Tweet saying something to the effect of "R.I.P. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold" and said in an interview that he would have liked to have known them. Probably all for shock value, though.

This song is also very fitting.

There's a few songs that remind me of Columbine.

Devil's Night - Motionless In White
I Can Do Anything - 3OH!3

It's weird that Dylan was quoting Tupac in his journal. Tyler respects E&D and wrote "Pigs" about them on 4/20/13 (Last year's anniversary). I think it's more genuine than shock value, though.

The Invisible Man by 98 Degrees reminds me of Dylan.

An artist called Bones did a whole album based on the Columbine massacre. It's hard to understand his views on the event, though. The album states that it's written from three points of views (that of the victims, perpetrators, and their parents). It's really goddamn dark.

Here's a stream of the album, if anyone's interested. It's not really my cup of tea.

Thank you for this. I've never heard this before this Bones has got a couple of good songs.

"Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
lyrics:

Quote :

[Dr. Dre]
Journey with me
Into the mind of a maniac
Doomed to be a killer
Since I came out the nutsac
I'm in a murderous mindstate
With a heart full of terror
I see the devil in the mirror
Buck buck, lights out
'Cause when I grab my sawed-off
Niggaz get hauled off
Barrel one
Touches your motherfuckin' flesh
Barrel two
Tears your fuckin' heart out your chest
You see I'm quick to let the hammer go click
On my Tech-9 so if you try to wreck mine
Fool it's your bed time
Feel the blast from the chocolate bomber
Infrared aimed at your head
Like your name was Sarah Conner
Decapitatin' I aint hesitatin'
To put you in the funeral home
With a bullet in your dome
I'm hot like lava
You got a problem?
I got a problem solver
And his name is revolver
It's like a deadly game of freeze tag
I touch you with a .44 mag
And you're frozen inside a body bag
Nobody iller
Than this grave yard filler
Cap peeler
Cause I'm a natural born killa

[Ice Cube]
Terror illustrates my era
Now I can't hang around my momma
Cause I scare her
I want to blast motherfuckers up
It feels like I'm bustin' a nut
When I open you up
Cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
All you weak motherfuckers give my ring a kiss
Cause I'm givin dirt naps
Comin' with them bomb ass raps
To make your lungs collapse perhaps
You never sleep
Cause evertime you doze
You catch blows to the motherfuckin' nose
Ain't seen the sun, in 66 days
Let me count the ways in a fucked up maze
I never ever ever made a ho stay
But I'm down with Dre
Like AC is down with OJ
So fuck how your livin'
I'm the unforgivin'
Psycho driven
Murdera
It's authentic
Don't panic
I can't stand it
God damn it
Scizophrenic
So fuck Charlie Manson
I'll snatch him out his truck
Hit 'em with a brick
And I'm dancin

[RBX]
Mass Murderer, Natural Born Killla,
And I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna
I don't wanna die!

[Ice Cube]
I don't understand the logic in my dreams
But I understand I like the sounds of sireens
Terrified screams from the streams of Strychnine
Dumpin' on any motherfucker tryin' to trick mine
Cause punk motherfuckers wanna violate
Now they stiff and cold
And they pupils won't dilate
Its so much pain
Migraine
Headache
I can hear his bones break
He steps in the single door
Got his ass whipped with 20 lashes
Like that dude up in Singapore
So I'm'a pull a fuckin' Jeffrey Dahmer
Now I'm suicidal, just like Nirvana

[Dr. Dre]
Tic Toc
Toc Tic Toc Tic
Dr. Dre and Ice Cube on some murderin' shit
Keepin' niggaz in order
Makin' their lives shorter
Ready to slaughter
Cause to me a life aint worth a quarter or a dime
Mushroom's got my mind
Hallicinatin
Ain't no debatin'
I'm creatin' an escape
Route to be out without a doubt
Scott Free, so don't even think about tryin' to stop me
Cause I cant wait
I'm out the gate
On the for realla
A thrilla
Or a natural born killa

[Ice Cube]
Gi-Gi Gi-Gi Gaga
They call me da-da
6 million ways to murder
Choose one
Lose one soul
Bodies turn cold
Natural fright from niggaz goin' bump in the night...

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

Should I peel 'er ([Dre:] yeah)
Should I kill her in my iller ([Dre:] hell yeah)
Then a Natural Born Killa

"America's Suitehearts" by Fall Out Boy, because it's about people who get famous and have people looking up to or crushing on them for things that really shouldn't be admired.

Also, "Sugar, We're Goin Down." Crazy at first but after I read this it made sense:

a tumblr user wrote:

“Am I more than you bargained for yet? I’ve been dying to tell you anything you wanna hear, ‘cause that’s just who I am this week.” - Eric’s POV. Everyone saw him as a relatively normal, nice kid (that’s “who [he was] that week”); maybe not to the same extent as Dylan, but still, a shooting never could have been predicted - it was more than anyone bargained for.
“Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum; I’m just a notch in your bedpost, but you’re just a line in a song.” - Both boys. They were comfortable with their own deaths. They were just a part of the surroundings at school nobody noticed much (like a nick in furniture), but school and the bullying that occured there was so significant to them they wrote pages of journals about how it shaped them - and eventually did much worse.
“Drop a heart, break a name; we’re always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team.” - It’s usually “drop a name”and “break a heart.” The shooting caused such a stir that at first there were a lot of bogus stories going around, like the “she said yes” story; this line relates to the twisting of stories and words. Also refers to the heartbreak and tarnished reputations caused by the shooting - Klebold’s and Harris’s families became pariahs. Ignore the homoerotic connotations of the second part - it simply relates to the fact Klebold and Harris were “weirdos” and bullied a lot, or at the very least not on the “right teams,” i.e. they weren’t athletes or otherwise popular.
“We’re going down, down in an earlier round, and sugar, we’re goin’ down swingin’.” - They died young (in an earlier round), but they died fighting to make their mark on the world, no matter how it affected other people; to “go down swinging” is a colloquialism meaning to fight for something which is either futile or a bad idea.
“I’ll be your number one with a bullet. A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it!” - Klebold and Harris made a top news story of the year using bullets; closer to the original meaning of the lyric, a bullet used to be used on Billboard charts to denote a song had risen fast in popularity, as they did in infamy. Harris, at least, has been said to have had narcissistic tendencies, and both the boys made references to being “Godlike.” As for “cock it and pull it,” the shooting made them feel like powerful gods.
“Is this more than you bargained for yet? Oh, don’t mind me, I’m watching you two from the closet, wishing to ve the friction in your jeans. Isn’t it messed up, how I’m just dying to be him?” - Dylan’s POV, self-explanatory - everyone saw him as a normal, nice kid when he was wrestling with so much, including obsessive fantasies about finding love. He acknowledged his sexual appetites were “messed up” and even apologized for them in his journal.
“Take aim at myself, take back what you said.” - Both boys’ POV. After their attack and suicides, nobody saw them simply as creepy loners anymore.

what makes this strange is that 'another notch in your bedpost' refers to someone they've slept with - people put a notch on their bedpost for each person.
I'm not sure i quite agree with this interpretation, though - i remember liking this band a lot back when I was in fifth grade, so this is... a weird spin to put on it. My interpretations are pretty abstract too, though, so I'm not criticising you at all!

Oh, I can imagine. I think that song and Pete Wentz's work in general lends itself easily to interpretation. I used to think "Sugar, We're Goin Down" was about a girl falling in love with a gay guy!  

Might be kind of silly, but Stewie's "hitlist" song from Family Guy about the people he wants to kill kind of reminds me of Eric's furious rants towards things and people he found stupid and death-worthy for the most ridiculous, insignificant things.

"Shy" by Sonata Arctica makes me think of Dylan



I can see how you are beautiful
Can you feel my eyes on you
I'm shy and turn my head away

Working late in diner Citylite
I see that you get home alright
Make sure that you can't see me
Hoping you will see me

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?
(Can you?)

I see you in Citylite diner
Serving all those meals and then
I see reflection of me in your eye
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy can't you see

Obsessed by you, your looks
Well, anyway, "I would any day die for you"
I write on paper and erased away

Still I sit in diner Citylite
Drinking coffee and reading lies
Turn my head and I can see you
Could that really be you?

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?

I see your beautiful smile
And I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you see

I see, can't have you, can't leave you there
'Cause I must sometimes see you
But I don't understand how you can keep me in chains

And every waken hour
I feel you taking power from me and I can't leave
Repeating the scenery over again

Sometimes I'm wondering
Why you look me and you blink your eye
You can't be acting like my Dana?

I see your beautiful smile
And I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes
Oh, please

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you see, oh, baby

Talk to me, show some pity
You touch me in many, many ways
But I'm shy, can't you, I'm shy, can't you
I'm shy, can't you see

I know I mentioned it before but Julia Brown's "Library" reminds me of Columbine. I just thought I'd post the lyrics:

I was in the library
I heard your name in my ear
My friends blame ghosts
When I went outside
The sky was turning black

I saw you in the library
Even though you're two states away
My friends blame ghosts
When I went outside
It was just beginning to rain
Driving home I wondered
When you go to sleep do you dream of me?

Evanescence - Understanding

Quote :

(You hold the answer)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts

My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth
My final time

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me

Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
(I'll die for you)

Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know
I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

I've tried so hard
(I have tried super hard)
Tried to be without you for so many years
No, no, no
And I have cried
(So many words I have saved for someone, for sometime)
I love you, I love you, and I want you to stay

Maybe not because of lyric but I've first heard this song when I've watched this video tribute to Eric and Dylan.

"The Good Die Young" By 2Pac and The Outlaws
This songs is about all the kids and teenagers that ever died young, like Columbine.
It also mentions Columbine at the end actually, gets me every time when I hear that line.
Also its been 18 years today since 2Pac died, time flies...

Youth of the nation (fisrt verse)

Great list, I agree with many. Add '45' by Shinedown and it would be perfect.

An odd addition to this list since it's country, but "Letter to Me" by Brad Paisley, especially for Dylan:

Oh, you've got so much going for you, going right
But I know, at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night.

And this very touching song by Sleeping At Last, "In The Embers." I first heard it on TCM Remembers 2013. I could type the lyrics but what makes it so touching is the way it's performed: a sad, lone, earnest voice with a single piano accompanying it

Not a song most if any of you would have heard before, it was not made for mass release you will see why if/when you watch it. I Love my dark ambient though and every time i listen to this i vision going back in time to spectate the events that unfolded that day. Its not directed at anyone in particular, more or less everyone who was involved, and the event itself which to me reflects the darkness and unsettling sounds of this song. Hope you enjoy

P.S good to see this forum back.

Haha this is actually not bad. But I doubt Eric would like having a rap song about himself out there

'xxxxxxx' by Teen Suicide.

when am i coming to your school
you know that i should see you soon
before something takes me out of here
or before he takes you away again

(i woke up in the library and someone was whispering
your name directly into my ear i looked around but
i couldn't find them and when i went outside the sun
was out but soon the sky turned black and it started
to rain; my friends blame ghosts for everything)

I was just listening to "Je ne regrette rien," sung by the immortal French singer Edith Piaf, and thought about Dylan and Eric, more so after reading the English translated lyrics, the last stanza specifically reminded me of something Dylan would say to his "true love."

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
It's been payed for,
swept (away),
Forgotten.
I don't care about the past!

With my memories
I have lit the fire!
My disappointments, my pleasures,
I no longer need them.
Swept away are the loves
with their trembling,
swept away forever!
I start again at zero.

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Neither the good that's been done to me,
Nor the bad;
It's all the same to me!

No, nothing at all,
No, I don't regret anything!
Because my life,
because my joy,
today
begins with you!
