Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Alone Again (Naturally)"

The Lyrics:

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
and visit a nearby tower.

I'll climb up to the top
and throw myself off
in an effort to make
a hint of who never
was like when you're
left shattered standing
in the latch at a church

Where people are
saying: "My god she stood him up"
There's no point in asking
I may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again naturally

Why:

The song is upbeat but when you think about it he's singing about killing himself because some girl stood him up in a church parking lot.

"Alone Again Naturally"

The Lyrics:

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally

Why:

The melody is very upbeat and jaunty and it's not until you listen to the lyrics that you realize it's about a man who wants to kill himself after being jilted and about grief and loss
