Someone else mentioned this too, but if anyone is into Japanese songs: I think there are probably more songs (especially Vocaloid ones) with extremely messed-up (and convoluted) lyrics than those that do not… I don’t think most of them are well-known outside anime/vocaloid circles though.
Trying to think about the more “cute and depressing” ones I could find:
NSFL
Iyowa - Kyu-Kurarin: song is extremely cute. Supposedly implies breakup and suicide
Mili - Nine Point Eight: one of my all time favorited; the title is somewhat self-explanatory
These are just what I could think of for now… A lot of songs with mentions of depression, suicide, etc… Other forms of messup, Telecaster B Boy is about being trans & not fitting in society I believe (song is a banger)
And this one is not “depressing” as-is, but Senbonzakura (that super famous Japan-esque song sung by Hatsune Miku that everyone has heard of) is about Imperial/WWII Japan sooo… take that as you will
