Defined in the dictionary as:
a feeling of dread, anxiety or anguish.
Defined in music by the following. Note the need for both an anguish-filled voice and heart-breaking, gut-wrenching lyrics in equal parts:
I can't keep holding on
To what you've got
When all you've got is hurt
- U2, "One"
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me when my face don't seem to wanna shine
'Cause it's a little bit dirty
- Matchbox 20, "Push"
Oh my God, you can't believe, it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end
- Eagles, "Wasted Time" When it's good, then it's good, it's so good 'til it goes bad
'Til you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, "Never again"
Broken down in agony just trying to find a friend
- P!nk, "Sober"
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
Gonna tie her to the bed and set the house on fire
- Eminem, "Love the Way You Lie"
