Korn-Blind.

My interpretation of this song is that it's about a struggle through depression and anger. Eventually It gets worse and worse until it's unbearable and your mind goes "blind". You become so overcome with misery that it's all you see in the world.

Definitely reminds me of Columbine.

KMFDM Down and Out always reminded me of Eric. The song has what sounds like military boots marching.

Also I just read Marilyn Mansons song Disposable Teens is also about Columbine along with The Nobodies (obvious) off the same album

I assumed Natural Born Killers by Avenged Sevenfold was about Columbine. Always reminded me of Eric.

----

One snap for the dying
One click to end the day
Another story with a mangled scene
It couldn't happen any other way

You wanna talk about it?
I'm begging you to walk in my shoes any time
Watch the clock till you unwind
You wanna cry about it
It's making me consider that I've lost my mind
The way I see you must be blind

So this is the world you left behind
This is the guilt that consumes you

So die alone
This is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers
Cause I ain't leaving here without you

Can't bribe me with money
Can't shower me with shame
Another killer from a broken home
Until you cover me with manic fame

You wanna know about it?
But I'm a be fucking with you every time
Story broken, you're behind
And when you ask about it?
You can rest assured I'll give you my best side
Seems we all have friends to find

So this is the hate I've been born to
Full are the tales of the untrue

So die alone
This is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers
Cause I ain't leaving here without you

And I'm waiting
Waiting for the days to slowly pass me by
(And all the promises I'll find)
No hesitating, you pull the trigger now your story's left behind
I know you want to see me fry
Like my soul, you won't survive

"Blackbird," originally by The Beatles.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

This song makes me think about Dylan.



I'm drowning in sadness
Falling far behind
I feel there is just no way out
Is there anyone there? Where am I?

Insanity and loneliness
Tear my painful heart
Broken heart keeps on going to beat
But it never stops bleeding

I've been waiting for love to come
Someone who wants to touch me inside
Memories of my yesterdays

Careless words and deeds
Masquerade of love
Gotta find my way outta here

I was blinded by dark desire
Over time I've been through it all
I'm crying my share of tears

What can I do
Will I make it through
I must be true to myself

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Voiceless Screaming
Now is the time I got to speak out

Voice of faith, I'm starting to realize
Now my eyes can see
I have gone so far
I'm feeling breath of life

And I'm looking for love to reach
Someone I want to touch deep inside
Light shines on my sight of doubt
Don't be afraid
Move forward one step
Willing mind is what I have found at last

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Voiceless Screaming
Now is the time I got to speak out

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Knockin' on my soul's door
I believe in myself and trust what I do

Voiceless Screaming
Pain of the past still hurts me inside
Knockin' on my soul's door
I climb the stairs that lead me to Heaven

Has anyone heard the Album Teen Witch by Bones? It's about Columbine.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned.

Nothing More It Seems

Alone in the room, TV on
Like the white screen his life's gone
A moving shell, a wandering ghost
A shadow of a man who nobody knows
He hardly speaks when you say his name
He's just embarrassed to say
Anything to anyone
In his mind there's no way out

He said he wants to die
He wonders how anyone survives
Being overlooked and trite

As seasons change
And trees grow bare
His reflection's a stranger
Back it won't stare
It's like everybody else
Just too busy for his simple self

He walks 13 blocks to the city's cross
Puts dust on his knees
Prays for a god that doesn't leave
It's lonely here in hell
He prays to be somebody else
In his mind there's no way out

In the sand he sinks to his knees
Mobile world around, just out of reach
Tears rolling down his cheeks
He has to believe, believe in himself

Put up, hold out
Break down, scream loud
Wave fists, and shout
It's done
It's done
Now stand tall, prove all
Push on, now you see
It's your life, It's your fight
Live free, don't hide
You've got to believe

I love the Teen Witch album by Bones.
I'm a huge Bones fan and he often references Columbine, I was stoked when he bought out Teen Witch seeing it was entirely inspired / based on it.

Yesterday, on anniversary, I was at caffe with my friends and the song "Pumped up kics" started playing. I know it's a song about some other school shooting, but it reminds me of Columbine. I was Surprised

That song reminds me of Columbine too. Someone in that band actually had a relative who was a Columbine survivor, if I remember correctly.

Bassist Cubbie Fink's cousin was the Columbine survivor.

Wow, didn't know that.
I'm still not sure if that song playing on anniversary was a coincidence. You can't really say Columbine is "popular" in Croatia.You had a few articles mentioning it like "top 10 pictures that will blow your mind" and there was Columbine '99. class picture with Eric and Dylan pointing their fingers like guns at the camera.But that's it.... Maybe just a coincidence.

I heard the terribly sappy '70s song "You and Me Against the World," by Helen Reddy (I think), and it instantly made me think of E/D.

Kind of a weird one but the song 'After Today' from A Goofy Movie gives me a Columbine vibe at times. Maybe it's just me reading my interests into things.



"They've been laughing since I can remember
*packs duffel bag*
But they're not gonna laugh anymore
*loads rifle*
No more Eric the geek
No more goof of the week like befoooooore!"

And then the bit at the end;

"I've got less than an hour
and when this is ended..."

Not a song i'd listen to, but this was one of the first tribute videos that was originally on YouTube back in 2006 or 2007 and that was during the worst time of my life, during my final years in school when I literally had no friends and was insanely tormented by my family, teachers and bullies and I'd watch this video over and over, and it really helped me through those times. This song will INSTANTLY make me think of Eric & Dylan when I hear it now.

This song is one I've liked for quite a few years now. I was listening to it just before and a couple of the lines really struck me as to how applicable they are to E&D and the senselessness of their actions on 4/20:




"Dumb and cruel
Cut before it's grown
Lies so forced in bored control
It learned all that it cares to know"

I think those lines sum up the situation so well. Their actions were undoubtedly senseless and cruel. I find the line "cut before it's grown" so sad, as I feel that pertains to E&D's murdered victims, as well as E&D themselves. E&D were still high school kids not far off from graduating with so much time likely ahead of them. So much opportunity for things to change. When you're a teenager, I guess you think you know everything, hence how apt that last line is.

Then I kind of had an epiphany and realised that this entire song could pretty much sum up the helplessness of what inevitably occurred, particularly from the subconscious perspective of E&D:

"Spoiled children soon to fall
Freedom is the lie we live
We will wait for tragedy
And scatter helpless to the fire
Sorry for ourselves
Sorry for the things we've seen
No one cries for help
Waiting for the fire"

For whatever reasons, they felt compelled to do the horrid things they did. They pitied themselves for living in a society where they believed they were outcasts. They didn't push to seek external help regarding their feelings. Instead, they kept them hidden from the pre-4/20 world and waited for their final day.

"When all our toys are burning
All these empty urges must be satisfied
Acted outside
Precious strength to turn the game to history
Giving up, I'm blown away
He said all I had to say
The final days have come and gone
Safe inside; there's nothing wrong
Nothing in these words
Sorry force of habit
Could it be way over my head?
Helpless to describe it"

When it was their final day, they carried out their desire to senselessly kill and seriously hurt people who had never even so much as known them. "Sorry force of habit" again, for whatever reasons, they felt compelled to do what they did. I reiterate that they had their lives ahead of them, but they were way in over their heads and didn't know how to deal with their emotions in a rational way. As I recently mentioned in another thread, I often wonder what E&D's thoughts of their actions would be if they could've had time to grow, mature, gain more life experience and have been able to fully grasp the gravity of the lingering pain they caused for so many people, including their own families.

I can only think of a few songs at the moment. The ones that remind me of Eric and Dylan are

Slipknot - wait n bleed
VAST - that's my boy
Mindless Self Indulgence - mastermind

Dylan
VNV Nation - Dark angel

Eric
Marilyn Manson - Man that you fear.

Most of the other songs have already been mentioned.

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Strength Through Music", by Amanda Palmer. She was inspired to write it directly because of Columbine, though it took her many years to complete it, and the finished song is more about school shootings in a general sense. More info on the song meaning and its production here. Very simple, sad, and powerful, with a haunting music video to boot (the opening is a bit strange, but bear with it, the rest is incredible!) :



Another sad one, the Scala & Kolacny Brothers Choir cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that some people may recognize from the Kurt Cobain Documentary "Montage of Heck". While I'm a fan of the original song as well, this cover just blew me out of the water. As someone else said in a comment section somewhere, it's like this version stripped away all the surface anger and disaffectedness of the original to reveal the real despair of the message and tone underneath. (I know, I know, SLTS was according to Cobain, nothing more than an attempt to "rip off the Pixies," but you can't discount how strongly many millions of people have interpreted it over the years). I made the mistake of letting this song come on while I had some photos up for research, and wow, I just burst into tears when that first lyric played. Reminds me Columbine as a whole, but Dylan in particular with the verse "it's fun to lose, and to pretend":


_______
Honorable mention to Mindless Self Indulgence They're a pretty off-beat industrial-genre band. Fast-paced, angry, tongue in cheek music that while fun to listen and rage to also makes me think of E&D and their mindsets quite a bit, even just based on the tone of the music. Excerpts from some songs where the lyrics are relevant:

"Prescription" (Reminds me of Eric)

I'm the doctor, I'm the patient
Don't forget that, it's important
If ya love me, like I love me
Everybody will be sorry

Well I don't need nothin' before the show
I don't need nothin', well that's not so
I need something before the show
Just a little something to make me GOOOOO
....

_______

"Witness" (Reminds me of both E&D, more so Eric -language warning-)

Son of a bitch
God likes me
I am the best
F**k everybody else
Suck on my d**k
I’m perfect
I am the best
F**k everybody else
(God likes me)

I need a witness to my life it wasn’t this way all the time
Got money, got girls, get high, can you f**kin’ believe it?
I need a witness to my life it wasn’t this way all the time
No money, no girls, denied
Can you f**kin’ believe it? No [x4]

I am born again hard [x3]
I am born again
(Son of a-)
...

_______

"Animal" (Same as above)

...
It's animal, it's animal,
It's animal, un-buh-leev-uh...bull!
Tonight
...
F**kin' incredible,
Sense of smell exceptional
I'm bustin out the medical drug,
The theoretical thug!

With my guns,
On the floor,
And the fans,
At the door, tonight!

_______

Another mention to "In Your Mind" by Built to Spill. As someone who has struggled with depression and who is very introverted, this is one of my personal favorites, though these days it makes me think a lot about Dylan and his rambling thoughts, how he had an entirely different world in his head that no one saw, and how that's probably scarily true for a lot of people in general:

The symptoms of our getting older
The problems that say we don't mind
That most of us never get over
The memories mingled with lies

Coincidence gave a confession
That no one's allowed to forget
I don't wanna give the impression
That predestination is set

The distance will increase the danger
Where certainty's never enjoyed
Regarded as equal yet stranger
Embark, then embrace, then destroy

Observing the process will change it
And afterwards even if you
Subconsciously rearrange it
It doesn't seem any less true

Remnants of thought disappearing
And even transcending concern
Disturbing but somehow endearing
Conditioned to never unlearn

And no one can tell me to listen
And no one can tell me what's right
'Cause nobody has my permission
And no one can see in your mind

In your mind
In your mind
In your mind
...

_______

This all of course in addition to some other bands as a whole like Alice in Chains, Garbage, the Pixies, and of course all the bands/songs E&D listed themselves. NIN has become a particular trip to listen to because how intertwined the music is with case.

I wasn't a huge fan of the movie "Elephant," but this piano bit always gets to me, and has since colored the song whenever I hear it

"Shame" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a major one for me.
"When It Rains" - Paramore
"Broken Wings" and "So I Thought" - Flyleaf
"Leave The Lights On" - Meiko (This reminds me of Eric for no particular reason. I listened to this song a lot when I first started getting into Columbine research)
"Man That You Fear", "Running To The Edge Of The World", and "They Said That Hell's Not Hot" - Marilyn Manson
"Save You" - Kelly Clarkson (trust me on this one)
"Happy The Hard Way" - Every Avenue
"So Long Goodbye" - Sum 41
"Evil Angel" - Breaking Benjamin
"Honey" - Hole
"Farewell" - Rihanna
"Stars" - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
"Psychopath" - Burn The Ballroom
"Monster You Made" - Pop Evil (I played this in the car once with my mom, and she said "This reminds you of Columbine, doesn't it?" bahaha)
"And All That Could Have Been" - Nine Inch Nails
"Aftermath" - Lifehouse


I have so many more but I won't spam y'all Smile I have an entire Spotify playlist dedicated to it Cool

Makes me think of their final moments (aka the suicide).

"Youth Of The Nation"-P.O.D

Yeah, this song for sure. I was twelve when I first heard it, it's still as relevant and powerful in my eyes today as what it was back in 2002. That watery guitar in the intro followed by those thundering drums, the anthemic chorus, and of course, the lyrics:

Quote :
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

We are, We are, the youth of the nation

First verse always reminds me of one of the boys killed by Dylan or Eric - maybe Corey, Isaiah, Matt or Danny. Just the sheer absurdity that a teenaged boy would wake up in Middle America ready for another mundane day at school, to go from a scenario as ordinary as milling around/studying in the library or walking outside on your lunch break to having your life turned upside down and ultimately ended in a period of minutes completely out of nowhere is just crazy to me {Instead of taking a test, I took two to the chest}.

It's pretty mind-boggling when you place yourself in Eric and Dylan's victims' shoes when you really stop and think how crazy it would have been to be lying in a pool of your own blood, dying from massive gunshot wounds with more shots going off around you when only thirty or so minutes ago you were just standing around chatting with your peers or studying for a test. {Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming, everybody was running but I couldn't hear nothing except gun blasts, it happened so fast..}

For me it's Marilyn Manson - The Nobodies due to being the song of the title screen of Super Columbine RPG and because of the lyrics

"We're the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead
They know just who we are"
