I’m not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

"Sometimes I feel, oh yes, I could do

Almost everything I wanted

And it makes me cry"

– Yoko Kanno, Flying Teapot, Cowboy Bebop soundtrack

“Your death it won’t happen to you, it happens to your family and your friends, I pretend.”

From the song “I Always Wanna Die Sometimes” by the 1975.

Got me out of a very dark place and made me realize how much it would hurt my friends and family if I went through with it.

We all have suicidal thoughts at some point. It’s when you actively think about how and when you’ll do it that you need help.

I was in a similar spot a long time ago. Even though in such a situation it’s incredibly hard to see it from outside your black bubble of depression, from your family’s and friends’ POV, it really does help to try.

This line from Uncle John’s Band by Grateful Dead is really simple and maybe kinda cheesy but it’s given me motivation and kept me in check a few times:

Well the first days are the hardest days, don’t you worry anymore. 'Cause when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door
