Songs that remind you of Columbine.

For some reason I've been listening to Bones Library Suicide, I don't understand why, I don't even like rap unless its rap rock, maybe its because it makes me think about Columbine and Eric and Dylan after their suicides deeply? Idk, but for some reason I just like it I jsut can't seem to figure out why.

I love bones, these albums are very good, he makes a lot of references to Eric and Dylan.

Third Eye Blind - Graduate
Deftones - Back to School
Blink-182 - Adam's Song

Killing Strangers - Marilyn Manson from the John Wick soundtrack. I love that song but think of Columbine every time I hear it!

Cliffs of Gallipoli and Angels Calling by Sabaton always reminded me of the shooting despite not being about it.

Closer by Nine Inch Nails of course. It's hard to listen to them without thinking of Columbine.

Texas Is The Reason - Back And To The Left

This song really reminds me of Eric and Dylan in general.

Lyrics:

This town was built on miles of hope
And I dare you to give one reason to stay
And maybe I won't go away

So far you only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough
Not enough for me to stay

It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right

But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here because
I'm still waiting...
Just like I've always been

I'm getting tired of standing around
Just sitting here and waiting to be found
Same old shit just a different day

I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be O.K.?

Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day

I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you

Definitely not the type of music Eric and Dylan listened to as far as I'm aware but Van Der Graaf Generator's "Man-Erg" is a brilliant progressive rock song that seems to be about someone similar in nature to the two.

The killer lives inside me: I can feel him move.
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room,
But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine,
He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
The killer lives.
The angels live inside me: I can feel them smile,
Their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind
And their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall, well, I know I shall be caught,
For the angels live.
How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom
And Death's Head throws his cloak onto the corner of my room and I am doomed,
But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth
And solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof, he tells me truth
And I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am,
I know, I'm not a hero, I hope that I'm not damned
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these,
Dictators, saviors, refugees
In war and peace
As long as Man lives
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these,
Dictators, saviors, refugees

Basically anything off of Symbols, XTORT, Herzeleid & Sehnsucht.. I say this because those were the albums that Eric seemed to primarily listened to.. and I can't blame him cause they're actually really good

Camber - Temporary

Thought this stuff would set us up. All this seemed so necessary.
Thought this stuff would set us up. Would set us up. We set us up.

All that shit dragged from the past. All that stuff was tertiary.
All that stuff just held us down. It held us down.

It left us here reaching out. It left us cold. It left us here broken down.
When what we needed was the thing we can't get back. It left us cold.
Was the thing we can't get back. No we can't get.

Thought these things could fill us up. All these things were temporary.
Thought these things could fill us up. Could fill us up. We set us up.

All the things we thought could last. Fatal fall the corollary.
All these things they held us down. They held us down.

It left us here bleeding out. It left us old. It left us here full of doubt.
What we conceded was the thing we can't get back. It left us old.
Was the thing we can't get back. It left us here with the thing we can't get back.

It left us here with the thing we can't get back. We can't get back. We can't get back.

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright

I was not a big fan of grunge music and sometime in 2000 I was at a girls place and she had this song playing. From the first time I heard it and up until this day, it makes me think of Harris and Klebold.

XO_willow - 3 Days Before The Philips Highschool Massacre and KFDM-godlike {doglike mix)

(Deleted)

The Trapeze Swinger - Iron and Wine
No Children - The Mountain Goats
Golden Boy - Natalie Merchant
Zombie - The Cranberries
Slow Motion - Third Eye Blind

a lot of glitchy songs remind me of the chaos in E&Ds head as for specific songs mostly nine inch nails hurt or in a warm place (in a warm place reminds me of there suicide and the aftermath of the massacre) and kmfdm reminds me of the rage and violence they felt

Down In A Hole by Alice in Chains reminds me of the horrible depression and downward spiral they just couldn't get out of. "Down in a hole, losing my soul. Down in a hole, losing control."

POD - Youth Of The Nation
Thousand Foot Krutch - Be Somebody
Counting Crows - Colorblind
Pumped Up Kicks
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Creek blues by nicole dollanger reminds me of what sue klebold had to go through after losing dylan

Deftones - Back to School

I second this, and then Pink Maggit as the aftermath

Hatebreeders - Misfits
My War - Black Flag
Dead in the Water - Rusted Shut
Only a Lad - Oingo Boingo
God Machine - Acid Bath

anything angsty world vs self lol

I just found a song on instagram called rachel's song by r.l helton

The album "Pseudoscorpion" by Zenjin

You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Listen To Music If You Watch The Needle Drop - Negative XP

Feels like something they'd relate to.

The day the world went away by Nine Inch Nails reminds me of Dylan a bit

creepybrook - sick shooter
Fried By Fluoride - Dead By 30

Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away

Creed - Bullets

Electric Wizard - The Chosen Few

Not just Columbine, but killers in general.

It captures the anger, the loneliness, and the frustration. It is very primordial and fatalistic in it's nature.

Children Of Bodom's Punch Me I Bleed:


From the reign I've built of shame and guilt
I go back and take a look
At myself and what I have done so far
At the bridge he's laying, waiting 'til light
No choice to go back where
He was okay to us
You're to come and save me
Going down I walk my way 'til now
Deep to the obscurity
Obliterating you in every way
With my life's insanity
Battered up again, I'm going right inside
Curled up on the floor
Wonder ways to kill the pain and
What doesn't kill you will only make you pissed off!
Sweep back to kill
You can't make it go away
So let's, take a shot at me
Just when you punch me, I bleed!
Going down I walk my way 'til now
Deep to the obscurity
Obliterating you in every way
With my life's insanity
No choice to go back where
He was okay to us
You're to come and save me!
Going down I walk my way 'til now
Deep to the obscurity
Obliterating you in every way
With my life's insanity

I always said when I’m gone, when I’m dead
Don’t lay me down with the dirt on my head
You won’t need a shovel, you don’t need a cold headstone
You don’t need to cry, I’m gon’ be going home

I’m waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It’s coming back for me
I don’t really care if you believe it’s coming back for me, yeah
I been in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see them come ’n rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they’ll be
I bet you’ll think of me then
You’re gonna say, “Ooh, look at that, oh yeah, yeah”
Damn, if it ain’t true
They’re coming back for me, they’re coming back for me, yeah

I knew from the start I don’t belong in these parts
There’s too much hate, there’s too much hurt for this heart
Lord knows this planet feels like a hopeless place
Thank God I’m going back home to outer space

I’m waiting for my spaceship to come back to me
It’s coming back for me
I don’t really care if you believe it’s coming back for me, yeah
I been living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see them come ‘n rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they’ll be
I bet you’ll think of me then
You’re gonna say, “Ooh, look at that, oh yeah, yeah”
Damn, if it ain’t true
They’re coming back for me, they’re coming back for me, yeah

I’m waiting for my spaceship to come back for me
And I don’t really care if you believe me
I been living in a lonesome galaxy
But in my dreams, I see them come ‘n rescue me
Look up in the sky and there they’ll be
I bet you’ll think of me then
You’re gonna say, “Ooh, look at that, oh yeah, yeah”
Damn, if it ain’t true
They’re coming back for me, they’re coming back for me, yeah

As I leave this Earth and sail into the infinite cosmic universe, the wars, the triumphs, the beauty, and the bloodshed, the ocean of human endeavor, it all grows quiet, insignificant. I’m nothing more than recycled stardust and borrowed energy, born from a rock, spinning in the aether. I watch my life backwards and forwards and I feel free. Nothing is real, love is everything, and I know nothing.



Makes me think of dylan in the end

Burn - Alkaline Trio

Suicide Commando - Die Motherfucker Die



Lost in a world full of hate
In a world fed by envy
Disgusted by the scum of the earth
Treating you as some dirt
Rejected by your own flesh and blood
Feed the pain, feeding my hurt
Stabbed in the back by your friends
See the blood on their hands

Lost in a mind full of pain
It’s slowly driving you insane
Self inflicting torture and pain
Put the gun to your brain
Cursed by the devil his blood
Feel the pain, feeling my hurt
Stoned and betrayed by your friends
Wash the guilt from their hands

Die motherfucker die
Piece of shit, fucking lowlife
My vengeance will be pure and so sweet
Now I’m watching you bleed

Die motherfucker die
Piece of shit, fucking lowlife
This one is for my hatred
And this (one) will make the suffer complete

Suicide Commando - Death Cures All Pain (reminds me of Dylan in a way)



Suicide
Never hides
Always lurks my way
Immolate
Suffocate
Nothing stops this pain
Cut to bleed
Cut to die
Well, these feelings will never die
Will death cure all pain?
When life leaves nothing
Will death cure all pain?
When love means nothing
Will death cure all pain?
God, will it hurt just a little?
Suicide
Dead inside
Never leaves my way
Overdose
Comatose
I can't bear this pain
Cut to feel
Cut to heal
Well, these wounds will never heal
Will death cure all pain?
When life leaves nothing
Will death cure all pain?
When love means nothing
Will death cure all pain?
God, will it hurt just a little?
Will it hurt just a little?

Never doesn't give me E & D vibes

Any minor hit (pop, rock, trance, anything) from the second half of the 90s

"Rubicon" by KMFDM

Ru·​bi·​con | \ ˈrü-bi-ˌkän: a bounding or limiting line
especially : one that when crossed commits a person irrevocably

There are a couple passages from this song that make me think of 4/20, especially:

"Violence for inner peace
Bombing for therapy
Terror is everything you need"

&

"Natural selection is based on deception
The ignorant elder empowers the youth"

The album was released on 4/20/1999 as well.

that would probably be Turn It Off by Paramore

I don't remember why, but this song is very strongly associated with Columbine. It seems that this song was in one of the forums. Wolfsheim - KeinZüruck

Hey You by Pink Floyd really reminds me of Eric.

Closer by Nine Inch Nails.

- Second Chance by Shinedown (this song reminds me of Eric and Dylan more than any other song. I feel like the lyrics are comparable to them, somewhat)
- Take A Picture by Filter
- 3 Libras - A Perfect Circle
- Building A Mystery - Sarah McLachlan
- Youth Of A Nation - P.O.D

"'Cause when I grab my sawed off, nig3azs get hauled off
(Ha, ha! Barrel one) Tears your motherfucking flesh
(Yeah, barrel two) Tears your fucking heart out your chest
You see, I'm quick to let the hammer go click, on my Tec-9"

"Now I can't hang around my momma 'cause I scare her
I'm want to blast motherfuckers (yeah what's up?)"

"Mass murderer, Natural Born Killer
And I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna
I don't wanna... die!"

"Now I'm suicidal, just like Nirvana"

"Ready to slaughter
'Cause to me, a life ain't worth a quarter or a dime"

One by one by the calling.
Makes me think about dylan klebold.
"The metal that ends his misery " that line in the lyrics is all dylan

Well,kinda obvious but
ParkingLotWitness

Burn - Nine Inch Nails

You'll Rebel To Anything by Mindless Self Indulgence.

The song is about the alternative crowd in general, but it mostly reminds me of how non-alternative people talk about Eric and Dylan and similar shooters like Jeff Weise, or anyone who fits the archetype of looking or acting like a "school shooter". But I think there's a valid criticism to be made here in some respects.

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about you bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit

You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
You're telling me that fifty million fans are never wrong
I'm telling you that fifty million fans are fucking morons
