Most tmbg songs
We are the people, Empire of the sun
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can't you be believing now
Can you remember and humanize
It was still where we'd energized
Lie in the sand and visualize
Like it's 75 again
Literally all of streetlight manifesto
i m really struggling to differentiate this as either really good or just commercial pop

Maxwell's Silver Hammer isn't depressing, it's just morbid.
a lot of TMG sounds don't really match the music

There's one song in Paramore's last album, Hard Times, which is upbeat as fuck and really surprised me with it's depressed as shit lyrics. Not the best example but I wanted to point it.

I survived everything
I have tried everything
Everything
And anything
All the walls begin to dissolve away
Feel your hands begin to shake
And just who you think you used to be
All begins to bend and break
Wave goodbye
Wish me well
I've become something else
Something else
(Just as well, really)
But this thing that lives inside of me
Will surely rise and wake
And his seed that bleeds right through to me
As it comes to grab and take
I am home
I believe
I am home
I am free
I am home
I can see
Always here
Finally....

The song itself isn't necessarily depressing, but the rest of the album is and somehow that adds a layer of pain to this song. Singer shot himself in the heart with a rifle in 2010 in the middle of divorcing his wife of 19 years.
Yeah, I know. It's "not Elliot Smith"

It's a cheery (and beautiful) melody though
