My insights are right most of the time.
Maybe some of you here have heard about the song Gloomy Sunday and the urban legends around it. If you haven't, don't even bother listening to the song itself. It's just an awful song with negative lyrics, and you're not missing anything.
There are at least four different versions of lyrics written by different people for this song. The original Hungarian one, although negative like the others, has nothing directly to do with suicide. The other three are basically about someone who lives in sorrow over the death of their love partner and decides to commit suicide in order to "join them in death".
But it was exactly the original version, the one that has nothing to do with suicide, that made me suspicious. It is of a "less innocent" kind of negativity than the other three versions. Just take a look and see what I mean:
Basically, just human-hating lyrics. Typical of you know whom.
So I decided to take a look at the author's Wikipedia page, just to investigate his origins:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rezső_Seress
And guess what he is?
Yeah, that's right.
The good news is he indeed commited suicide 35 years after writing this song.
Not just that, he survived jumping out of a window, but choked himself with a wire in the hospital. Now that's a good jew.
Be careful with the music you listen to.

It is autumn and the leaves are falling
All love has died on earth
The wind is weeping with sorrowful tears
My heart will never hope for a new spring again
My tears and my sorrows are all in vain
People are heartless, greedy and wicked...
Love has died!
The world has come to its end, hope has ceased to have a meaning
Cities are being wiped out, shrapnel is making music
Meadows are coloured red with human blood
There are dead people on the streets everywhere
I will say another quiet prayer:
People are sinners, Lord, they make mistakes...
The world has ended!
