Songs that remind you of Columbine.

Does anybody think Columbine is like a really catchy song that wont get out of your head no matter how hard you try?!

Slipknot - People = Shit

Shinedown - 45

Hah  

I'd also add The Killers - All these things that I've done

Everytime I hear Avicii- Wake Me Up, it reminds me of Dylan. I have no real idea why...

The lyrics definitely remind me of Eric - Slipknot - People = Shit
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and maybe a little bit also, Surfacing [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

A lot of songs by KMFDM, Rammstein and NIN remind me of Eric and Dylan, but a lot of material by Combichrist does also. I think if Combichrist had been around back then, both boys (but especially Eric) would have adored them.

Combichrist -- This Is My Rifle

'Tonight you pukes will sleep with your rifle
You will give your rifle a girls name
Because this is the only p***y you people are going to get

This is my rifle, it is my life
We are masters of our enemy
Till there is no enemy'

Combichrist -- In The Pit

'I'm cleaning out today
Now you can buy my soul
Everything must go
I'm closing down my life
I'm making room for a brand new show
It will consist of empty dreams
High fashion wars and dollar smiles
It will be filled with disco bombs
All I want is for you to be in the show
It's a matter of what I'll achieve
I'm all f****d up now I want you to care
Want it right now, I want you to care'

Agreed Cherry. Add "Feed your anger" and "Throat full of glass" to that list as well.  

Yes, absolutely! I almost put the lyrics to Feed Your Anger instead of In The Pit, but the beginning to In The Pit is so thudding and menacing it makes me think of the two of them walking towards the school with their weapons loaded.

Also adding the album 'The Joy Of Gunz' by Combichrist, for obvious reasons.

This one... So much so I made the video using the documentary footage.

I've also always thought "Paradise Now" by Die Krupps to be one that reminds me about Columbine, in particular the gunmen.

LYRICS:
look at the past what do you see
look at the present what do you see
look to the future what do you see
you clearly see what will be

growing content in these hearts and minds
an feeling of anger that makes them blind
rising to the surface the will to destroy
shaking the system like an defective toy

paradise now (x2)
all we need is
paradise now
make the fear that will break

shout out (x3)
to hell with agony
shout out (x3)
to hell with misery
shout out (x3)
to hell with agony
shout out (x3)
to hell with misery

look deep inside you
what do you feel
test your senses to see what is real
look in the mirror
who do you see
what you desire make reality

when enemies connect like separated brothers
when hell becomes heaven and haters lovers
then we will build the ideal place
and then lend us richer peace and grace

paradise now
all we need is
paradise now
meet your worst yet
build it now

shout out
to hell with agony
shout out
to hell with misery
shout out.

AGREED. Eric especially would have loved this group

Look what I found today:

Countess- Columbine High Blues

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PSJyEnghXQ

KoRn - Thoughtless

After all, I did hear that that song is about school shootings. Watch the music video too

Coma white and Rock is dead by Marilyn Manson. I wonder if E&D liked "Mechanical animals".
And of course Pearl Jam "Rival".

A line from a Bob Dylan song describes H/K to a tee.

"“We’re two of a kind and our blood runs hot
But we’re no way similar in body or thought"

Tin Angel.

Bob Dylan's "Basement tapes" album now reminds of Columbine

Another is "War" by Poets of the fall.

Especially this line

"I will let the memory heal, I will remember you with me on that field".

Korn - fagot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV9yhL6i2DE

Used in the movie Natural Born Killers during the tornado/escape scene.

No Excuses - Alice In Chains

I believe wurmholesshadow used it in a video one time, and it's been associated with Columbine in my head ever since.

Monster - Imagine Dragons



''Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (Oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldn't settle in (Oh oh oh oh)

If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me

I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger

Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide? (Oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made it's home inside (Oh oh oh oh) ''

Glory and Gore- Lorde

"There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it but I promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us
And how it plays out
Now we're in the ring
And we're coming for blood

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviors
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us

No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises, we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about death
It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain,
"Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?"
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means"

(Dylan and Eric's POV)

I can feel a phoenix inside of me
As I march alone to a different beat
Slowly swallowing down my fear
Yeah, yeah

I am ready for the road less traveled
Suiting up for my crowning battle
This test is my own cross to bear
But I will get there

It's never easy to be chosen
Never easy to be called
Standing on the front line
When the bombs start to fall
I can see heavens
But I still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am I living for?

-----

(Rachel Scott's POV)

I can feel this light that's inside of me
Growing fast into a bolt of lightning
I know one spark will shock the world
Yeah, yeah

So I pray for favor like Esther
I need your strength to handle the pressure
I know there will be sacrifice
But that's the price

It's never easy to be chosen
Never easy to be called
Standing on the front line
When the bombs start to fall
I can see heavens
But I still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?

Heavy is head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down
Heavy is head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down

Oh yeah
I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am I living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am I living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?


Katy Perry - Who Am I Living For?

https://youtu.be/rohGaHdtW-o

The song Mayonaise by The Smashing Pumpkings, always reminds me Dylan for some reason and Pumped Up Kicks of course too but is a pitty how in the beginning the people just listened to the music and not the lyrics

Closer by NIN for obvious reasons. Lol

Agreed. This song just screams Columbine to me.

"Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes"
When I first heard the song after buying her album, I was so shocked at how much this could relate to Columbine. Especially the line above...

"Lord Kill the Pain" - Red House Painters

Lyrics.
