One of the saddest existential crisis songs I've heard: "King for a King" by Will Varley. Like Springsteen's "The River" but British, and maybe even more bleak. Someone taught me this song while I was in Sweden, lol. Basically about how society fucks you over, and mistakes can cost you everything. - Kotaku In Action 2 - The Official Gamergate Forum

Oof.

Also, if we're sharing that style or theme, Rome has a few; Who Only Europe Know, and Hate Us and See If We Mind.

Also, there's a few famous folk/country songs along the same theme, Hurt (Johnny Cash cover), and You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive (Darrell Scott original and Patty Loveless cover), and Northwest Passage. And a favorite of mine, Slaid Cleaves' Breakfast in Hell.

Honorable mention, not existential in the same way, but still rather haunting: Miner's Silver Ghost.
