[IIL] Music about futile attempts at recovering something someone destroyed
Songs about something that's already happened, and there is no way back, sung in a kind of melancholy way.
For example:
- Alec Benjamin - Outrunning Karma - "He'll fight because he knows he cannot hide"
- Skylar Fri - Man Is Strange - "And I heard you calling as I left the driveway"
- Steam Phunk - Hell & High Water - "I'm gonna leave no matter what you say"
All of these, especially the last one, are sung in a way this is very much "you dug your own grave. It's over for you. Goodbye."
Any suggestions songs similar to these? Thanks!

Dark Storms - Our Last Night "Can't take back the cards you dealt
On this long and lonely road to hell
The throne must be such a sad and lonely place"
When the Truth Hunts You Down - Sam Tinnesz
Icarus - Starset "Go on then, Icarus, Take your turn, You always fly right up, Until it burns
Your wings, You never could change."
Running Away - Jamestown Story this one's a warning for someone right before they've reached the no return point. " You're gonna hurt someone, If you don't change." .. "And you fight, For your life, And you try, to regain the life you once had."
Some that are 'we' or 'I'
The Waiting - Arrows to Athens "You do your best not to notice, The crumbling ground beneath your feet, The rest of life is waiting for us, But what we've done will never leave."
The Silence - Arrows to Athens "Now pray for the day when the truth will make us pay for this-
Do you believe that the silence can erase the memory?"
We Have it All - Pim Stones " All my life I've been heading for hell
But never had I thought I'd drag you down as well" .. "If my heart was still mine, I would go to the bottom And apologize to you until the day it went rotten"
Thank you, this were exactly what I was looking for. Running Away hit a little too close to home :/
