It may sound weird,but the song ,
"I Started A Joke" by The Bee Gees used to have that effect on me.
It was (of course) when I was in high school in the 1980s and at hte time,i was an avid listener to "Oldies" radio (now thankfully called classic pop). The song's lyrics (I thought) refleceted my world at the time.
I did feel like when I was happy,my "peers" would hurt me to make me sad,angry & upset.
Which gave them (semmigly) pleasure. Or...if I tried to get back at them,I'd be the one punished (by teachers or principal) for defending myself. It felt like a no win situation .
Had i the maturity then,that I have now...Id've realized i should have held tight to who i was and how "I" wantedto be and no let it all envelop me into sadness.
So you see,some songs "can" do that,it depends
on the person and what they may be going through.
=============================================
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
