I want something like the Taxi Driver theme. But maybe with lyrics? Anything that has the same vibes.

Try this
The Smiths - I Know It's Over
Sorry for what you're going through.
The Cure is your friend here. Try their song A Night Like This, from their nearly perfect album Head on the Door.
The Cure - Wish is what you're looking for. Damn near every track. Just skip track 7.
Thanks <33
MEATLOAF --- IF GOD COULD TALK
If God could talk.
Would He tell you to come back to me?
If God could talk.
Would He tell you it's alright, just leave?
And don't look back at all the memories.
The best of times, the mess you made of me.
Walk on, if you think it's gonna make you strong.
.
Why don't you run away.
And find yourself a life?
Go on and turn the page.
Before your lonely world collides.
What's it gonna take to break the silence.
That's been tearin' you apart?
If God could talk.
Would He part the oceans straight to you?
Make mountains move.
Crumble at your feet to get you through.
Another day, another night alone.
Stepping out into the great unknown tonight.
Even God knows, baby, that ain't right.
.
Why don't you run away.
And find yourself a life?
Go on and turn the page.
Before your lonely world collides.
What's it gonna take to break the silence.
That's been tearin' you apart?
If only God could talk.
.
Did you swear to yourself.
On the day it was over.
That you'd never turn around.
And get locked up in another cage?
.
Did you tear all the pictures.
Of us living life together?
Did you burn all the memories.
That we made in a fit of rage?
.
Why don't you run away.
And find yourself a life?
Go on and turn the page.
Before your lonely world collides.
What's it gonna take to break the silence.
That's been tearin you apart?
If only God could talk.
Voice of the soul- Death
Flesh and the POWER IT HOLDS! Good.stuff.
Hush now, don't you cry.
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
You're lying safe in bed.
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
.
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain.
Of someone close to you leaving the game... of life.
So here it is, another chance.
Wide awake -- you face the day, your dream is over.
Or has it just begun?
.
There's a place I like to hide.
A doorway that I run through in the night.
Relax child, you were there.
But only didn't realize and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn.
To face your fears, retrace the years.
And ride the whims of your mind.
Commanding in another world.
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension.

Go listen to "Precious" by Depeche Mode.
Precious and fragile things....
Need special handling.
My God what have we done to you?
.
We always tried to share...
The tenderest of care.
Now look what we have put you through.
.
Things get damaged, things get broken.
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken.
Left us so brittle.
There was so little left to give.
.
Angels with silver wings.
Shouldn't know suffering.
I wish I could take the pain for you.
.
If God has a master plan....
That only He understands.
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through.
.
Things get damaged, things get broken.
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken.
Left us so brittle...
There was so little left to give.
.
I pray you learn to trust.
Have faith in both of us.
And keep room in your hearts for two.
.
Things get damaged, things get broken.
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken.
Left us so brittle.
There was so little left to give.

Dayz N Daze -- Misanthropic Drunken Loner
[Genre: Gutter Punk]
'Coz relationships are overrated.
Maybe I'm just tired and jaded.
But I'm sorry -- I just like myself more than I like you.
So call me anti-social, call it masturbation.
Either way it's a solo operation.
I'm just far more comfortable alone.
.
It appears that apathy -- has gotten the best of me.
'Coz I'm so tired of you talking my ear off.
About all your problems that I just can't fix.
I don't appreciate this unwanted company.
And your constant chatter --
Reminds me why I'd rather you leave me be.
.
So call me anti-social, call it masturbation.
Either way it's a solo operation.
I'm just far more comfortable alone.
'Coz people are ugly and people are hateful.
Destructive and greedy.
We're proud and ungrateful.
The world would be so much better off without us.
Oh... You like non-english music too???
GREAT!!! Here's one for you.
DIR EN GREY -- FOOTSTEPS IN THE LONELY VALLEY
[Genre: Japanese Metal]
.
.............................
The eyes that look up at the meaning of shedding you.
Together with the past which mixes in the white breath.
The echos pile up, breaking my heart over and over.
I shake off the pain I’ve become used to, I can no longer feel you.
The ugliness and the laughter in the memories which flood over me --
Should I just forget them?
Forced to notice the sound of my heart dying.
115 hours -- who have you lived forgetting?
Because I’m weak, I shut my favourite phrase in my chest ---
To you who changes in order to live,
“The reason I k××× myself.”
The ugliness and the laughter in the memories which flood over me --
Should I just forget them?
When the love stops, even the confined sky...
Will one day shine....
If it's something I don't need, then your sympathy is completely useless.
If it's something important, then certainly pain will accompany it.
It's like...
Feeling loneliness even when you're together....
....is more painful than feeling loneliness by yourself.
~AYUMI HAMASAKI --- SURREAL

https://shinitakashi.blogspot.com/2000/09/hamasaki-ayumi-surreal-lyrics.html?m=1
AYUMI HAMASAKI -- END OF THE WORLD
[Genre: Japanese Pop]
When we see someone unhappier than us, we're a little comforted....
And if we find someone happier than us, we suddenly get flustered.
But, surely, that's why sometimes, realizing how wretched we are, we helplessly crash into reality.
What should I think?
What should I say?
It's not possible to live alone without getting hurt.
If you think you're a victim -- then you must be prepared to not care if you lose everything...
...and put on an act until the end.
What makes you wish for tomorrow -- and let's you get through even the long and dark nights?
Even if I'm praised.
Even if I'm envied.
I don't even know if you understand....
STEVIE NICKS -- LOVE CHANGES
[Genre: Pop... I think?]
It wasn't that I didn't love you.
I just couldn't make you see.
That as hard as I tried.
To make it all better.
It was not better for me.
.
The love that I gave you was all around you.
There was nothing left for me.
I hate to say it, but I saw it coming.
My feelings were changing.
.
I only say what you want to hear.
When there is conflict -- I stay clear.
When he was loving, I was in tears.
He knows my fears.
.
"I wish I could figure a way around this"
She says, like a sad song.
"I don't understand the way that I feel, I am terrified of being wrong."
There's a song Presumably Dead Arm, definitely my go to song for getting out a good cry when I need to. Best of luck
Sigur Ros Hoppipolla

When Your Lonely Heart Breaks (Neil Young)
Just listen to some technical death metal and burn them feels.
Anathema - A Natural Disaster
It's been a long cold winter without you
I've been crying on the inside over you
Just slipped through my fingers as life turned away
It's been a long cold winter since that day
It's hard to find
Hard to find
Hard to find the strength now but I try
And I don't want to
Don't want to
Don't want to go on and speak now
Of what's gone by
Cos no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
You just slipped through my fingers
And I feel so ashamed
You just slipped through my fingers
And I have paid
Cos no matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I cant change what happened
No no I can't change
Just slipped through my fingers
And I feel so ashamed
You just slipped through my fingers
And I have paid.
REM - Everybody Hurts.

Back in college, The Smiths filled this role for me. It was a boomerang effect - Morrisey was SUCH an over-the-top mope that it couldn't help but shake me out of it.
