There's three playlists I've been meaning to share for a long time here, and this is the first one. These are the songs I like to listen to during long, rainy nights on an empty highway; dark songs that hypnotize me and take me inside myself, make me find ugly parts of myself and make out with them. These are not happy songs, but they trigger something inside me that feels far more profound than mere happiness. So without further ado, here goes.

(Warning: the lyrics of #4 and #5 carry trigger warnings for sexual assault and child molestation, respectively. Feel free to skip those)
