    What song would you recommend to someone who has done things she regrets when she had the opportunity to have something good and lives with the still-ongoing snowball effect that she is so used to seeing as karmic that she doesn’t typically bring up any of the issues?

      Here’s the closest I’ve got.

      Priest - History In Black

      Priest is an electronic music project originally formed by ex-members of the hugely popular band Ghost. I’d call this Darkwave, but the label doesn’t matter, it’s depeche mode-y and don’t let the gimp mask put you off, I believe the song is very sincere.

      I can't stop, it's too late, it pours out, it's my fate
      My legacy in black
      Looking in to my eyes, see the things i despise
      My soul is tainted black
      
      I traveled with the enemy, i thought it was my destiny
      I'm free of all the lunacy
      I never want it back, my history in black
      
      Silent screams longing voice, violent dreams, ringing noise
      My memory is black
      It's not a mask, it's my skin
      Please don't ask where i've been
      My heart is painted black
      
      I traveled with the enemy, i thought it was my destiny
      I'm free of all the lunacy
      I'm never want it back, my history in black
      
      I escaped from the cage inside
      
      I traveled with the enemy, i thought it was my destiny
      I'm free of all the lunacy
      I never want it back, my history in black
      My history in black

      Swans - Song for Dead Time

      So bury your trust beneath the ground with me, dear

      And lay your loneliness down for the sun to burn

      To sand…
