You know how sometimes you're listening to a pretty chipper song, and you think it's gonna stay that way? Sometimes it doesn't. That's what you call the descent into darkness. A Descent Into Darkness Song is a song that changes its tone, slowly or quickly, into something much darker. The evolution of the music can involve modulating from a major key to a minor one as shorthand for a darker style. If there are words which are consistently upbeat, there may be Lyrical Dissonance at the end; the inverse is also true if they're depressing throughout it. If in a musical, it can be a positive song that becomes sinister when the heroes leave. If the song is wholly cheerful but later sung tragically, you have a Dark Reprise. This can be a form of Villain Song. |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds did the same thing as Twilight Princess. Lorule Castle's theme adds more and more to it as you progress, but as you get closer to the end, you hear Ganon's theme as a bit of a bridge in the tune. | |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: A very subtle, very quick version occurs during the mall confrontation scene where both Terminators find John at the same time. Because the movie is playing up the fact that either Terminator could be evil, you hear both of their themes play one after the other. First Arnold's strong metal percussion then the T-1000's low ominous moan. Then, as both of them meet each other with John in the middle, for a brief moment both play on top of each other, adding to the tension of which (if not both) Terminators are evil. Then Arnold saves John and the T-1000's low moan completely takes over. He's our bad guy. | |

Merrily We Roll Along has three songs about the increasingly strained relationship between Frank, Charley and Mary. In increasing severity and in chronological order (which is more or less the reverse of their order in performance): "Growing Up" begins as a pleased soliloquy at the piano by Frank about his two friends, but has a markedly more dissonant bridge where he voices his frustrations about them. "Old Friends," a trio in which Frank, Charley and Mary act as Vitriolic Best Buds, with the vitriol contained in a troubled bridge section which descends into a heated argument between the three. The tune of this bridge is earlier reprised with different lyrics as "Like It Was" following a Dark Reprise of the refrain. "Franklin Shepard, Inc." (which begins with the same diegetic piano flourish used in "Growing Up") starts out with Charley in a relatively cheerful though sarcastic mood, but the music stops and restarts wearily, then frantically as he comes to the realization that he's been Saying Too Much and their longtime friendship is no more. |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frollo's "Hellfire" song counts as a Dark Reprise of "Heaven's Light", but it also counts alone as this trope. A sacred chant leads into the song, With composure, Frollo sings to the Virgin Mary, "You know I am a righteous man..." and then the song gets darker as he sings of how desire for Esmeralda tempts him. The accompanying chants turn ominous, and Frollo pictures himself condemned. He concludes: "She'll be mine or she will burn!" | |

"Big and Loud" from Cats Don't Dance. When it's first sung, Darla Dimple is giving Danny advice to improve his act in order to be famous; once Danny has gone, the song is sung again in a more darker, sinister villainous fashion as Darla shows her true jealous nature against animals. | |

The "F.U.N. Song" from the Littlest Pet Shop (2012) episode "Missing Blythe" is initially about Blythe's joy at studying the thing she loves the most, but as it become apparent that's the only thing the students care about, it becomes tiring and anxious before ending on a dull note: "Sometimes fashion can be... a... bore." | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has the Clock Town theme. It starts out rather upbeat enough, as the town is mostly going about its business and the townspeople blissfully ignorant that anything's wrong. Sure, the moon is up there glaring at them, but it's way out there. What's it gonna do? The next day, the moon is demonstrably closer than its original position, and that night, closer still. The music is slightly darker to accommodate this. Then, by the third day, the music is outright apocalyptic, since the townspeople have all but fled or given up in terror, and the moon is so close it looks like it could cleanse the planet with one strong snort. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has Hyrule Castle theme, which is the final dungeon of the game. It starts off soft and majestic, with a revision of the Hyrule Castle song from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. As you progress through the dungeon, however, the song gains a bassline that may sound...a bit familiar. Later, the bassline is seamlessly expanded into Ganon's theme, which is overlaid onto the Hyrule Castle theme. From that point on, Ganon's theme slowly takes over, becoming louder and more pronounced while the Hyrule Castle theme becomes softer and more subtle. By the time you're in the stairway before the final battle, Ganon's theme has completely taken over. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds did the same thing as Twilight Princess. Lorule Castle's theme adds more and more to it as you progress, but as you get closer to the end, you hear Ganon's theme as a bit of a bridge in the tune. |

Steven Universe loves these: In the episode "Steven and the Stevens", the updated version of the title song has the same fun classic rock sound and highlights Steven's bond with the Crystal Gems. It gets dark quickly as Steven explains that he accidentally created an alternate timeline and had to watch other timelines of himself die to get to this point. In the episode "On the Run", the title song starts out as a cheery ode to life on the open road and ends as a clear sign that Amethyst is using unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with her feeling inadequate to the rest of the Gems. The song "Do It for Her" from the episode "Sworn to the Sword" starts off as a typical Training Montage song, but gets progressively creepier as Pearl slowly goads Connie into thinking her status as a human means her life is of lesser value than Steven's, mirroring Pearl's own relationship to Steven's mother, Rose Quartz. The song "What's the Use of Feeling Blue" from the episode "That Will be All" starts off fierce and robotic as Yellow Diamond encourages Blue Diamond to stop mourning Pink and go back to her Diamond duties, then ends on a quavery note as Yellow slowly succumbs to her own bottled-up grief. The song "That Distant Shore" from the episode "Can't Go Back" starts out mellow with Lapis Lazuli recalling how she'd found peace for the first time in a millennia with Steven, but progressively gets darker as Lapis struggles with her trauma keeping her from being able to enjoy the moment. In Steven Universe: The Movie "Drift Away" recounts Spinel's idyllic days playing with Pink Diamond in the garden, to Pink Diamond leaving the garden, to Spinel realizing she'd been abandoned thousands of years later. |

Phineas and Ferb: "City of Love" from "Summer Belongs to You" starts out with a sense of optimism, as Isabella tries to use the stop in Paris as a chance to get Phineas to enjoy the stay and at least have a romantic moment with him. However, her crush is Oblivious to Love and way too focused on trying to get the gang's plane repaired, and her glee slowly degenerates into a dull and gloomy tone as her romantic efforts are all in vain. For a bonus, the background colors go from bright and rosy to muted and dark, and the hearts floating amidst litter the ground and break. | |

But when he finally reaches Heaven, the gates reject him and the heavy metal guitar and distinctive voice of James Hetfield kicks in as poor Kenny falls screaming into the bowels of Fire and Brimstone Hell. | |

Tangled: The Series: In "Queen for a Day", one of Rapunzel's friends, a young inventor named Varian, is determined to make his father proud of him, which is also the title of his song, and provides the page quote at the top. However an accident in his lab traps Varian's father in crystal. Desperate for help, Varian goes to Rapunzel, who is currently swamped with a natural disaster and other responsibilities for her kingdom (a cataclysmic blizzard based on the legend of the evil Zhan Tiri is threatening to tear Corona apart and her parents are missing), and she sends Varian away. Feeling both bitter and guilty over this accident causes Varian to have a noticeable Face–Heel Turn in the middle of his originally chipper song, ending with a clenched fist, and with a sinister tone where he proclaims that "they will pay". Done more subtly with Rapunzel's song in the same episode, "I've Got This". At first Rapunzel is excited for her Short-Lived Leadership and is certain she can handle the requests of the kingdom folk, but when her suggestions go From Bad to Worse, it sinks into a dull and gloomy tone as she remarks being acting queen will be tougher than she thought. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has "In the beginning", with the title being a Shout-Out to the book of Genesis, the soundtrack starts with a Cherubic Choir, which captures the Paradisiac and innocent estate of the world. Than it continues with an epic climax showing an epic shot of Tirion, before the sudden ominous change in tonality symbolizing the destruction of the two trees of Valinor and the Elves quest to Middle-earth. The second part of the soundtrack is a Dark Reprise of its lighthearted first half. | |

From Portal 2, the track 'I AM NOT A MORON!' fits this trope to a T: it starts out with triumphant, happy electronic tones, but halfway through it switches to a much more sinister tone played by brass and strings, culminating in a Dark Reprise of the turning point in the track, combining both orchestra and electronic music, ending in a much different place than it started. It’s fitting, as it plays in the scene where Wheatley is hooked up into the mainframe and promptly becomes Drunk On Power, preventing Chell from leaving yet again before ultimately knocking her down an elevator shaft. | |

Game of Thrones: "The jaws of the viper" starts with a solo violin -which is usually a theme reserved only for the Starks when they show their love for each other- played in background while Jaime and Myrcella hug, only to change to a dark tone when Myrcella dies in his arms. The fact that the next shot is of Ellaria Sand reveals that this is her theme about her revenge on the Lannisters for Oberyn's death. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rarity's upbeat song "The Pony Everypony Should Know" from "Sweet and Elite" suddenly ends with her sulking and depressed in her room at the castle when she realizes she wasted all her time enjoying the highlife and never got to finish Twilight Sparkle's birthday gown. The song "School of Friendship" from part 1 of "School Daze" starts off with a sense of optimism and fun, but as the classes become more bland as Twilight sees the methods of teaching the students are not "by the book", it sinks into frustration and boredom. |

Tom and Jerry: The Movie: Dr. Applecheek's song "God's Little Creatures" starts off as a gentle, if slightly sad song about how much he loves animals and will do anything to protect them. However, it eventually becomes much more harsh and menacing when Dr. Applecheek turns out to be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. | |

"Living Dead" from Jasper in Deadland is initially about Gretchen and the other dead citizens celebrating being dead and have nothing left to lose. By the end, it becomes Gretchen lamenting the fact that she's dead and has nothing left to lose. | |

Evillious Chronicles: "Wordplay" begins with the singer talking cheerfully about the first time she learned of the world, friendship, and love. Then it slowly cycles through the first time she learned of pain, punishment, lies, and evil, with the video getting darker and grayer as well. It's implied this is the same person who becomes a Mad Scientist in the later song "Moonlit Laboratory". | |

Kendrick Lamar's "i" starts out as a comparatively upbeat song about the viewpoint character staying hopeful in grim situations, but it doesn't stay that way. By the end, he's given in, although he does express hope that someone will learn from his mistakes. The big hint that it's moving into significantly darker territory comes when the hook drops in pitch for a deeper, more ominous sound. | |

Several songs by Stephen Lynch. "Superhero" starts with describing various superheroes kids might want to be before turning into a diatribe against his unfaithful wife who now lives in Hawaii with a doctor, dumping him with three kids and no job. For those interested — song here. | |

Tangled has Mother Gothel sing "Mother Knows Best" to Rapunzel, which was a wacky Broadway type song, but had insulting lyrics to lower Rapunzel's self-esteem and make her more dependent. However, later in the film when Rapunzel is becoming more independent, and refuses to return to the tower with Gothel, Gothel's reprise of her song noticeably takes a dark turn as she becomes more hostile and insults Rapunzel further. | |

The Little Mermaid's "Poor Unfortunate Souls" could perhaps count. It begins with Ursula trying to play herself off as innocent, but she becomes more Obviously Evil (not to mention bombastic) as it goes on. | |
