That is a pretty dark song. I can understand you being drawn to it. I don't think music makes us do things, I think we listen to that sort of music because its the way we already feel.

That being said, when you are already in a dangerous or on the borderline mood, exposing yourself to dark songs may set you off the edge. One reason I won't turn the radio on in the car is because it will instantly bring back a bunch of black, dangerous thoughts. The music isn't doing it, its just a catalyst for a mood already present. Once I hear the music, I have trouble not sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness.

I can't tell you what to listen to, and wouldn't try anyway, but if you are fighting SI urges now, you might do better writing your own poetry. Lyrics are basically poetry. Just watch that you don't push yourself further into the darkness.
