"Always Look On Bright Side Of Life."

Seriously no one said REM??? Maybe im old. Fist song i thought of ha
Olivier Messiaen, Quatuor pour la fin du Temps (quartet for the end of time) was the first one I thought of. It was written in 1941 while the composer was interned in the German Stalag VIII-A POW camp. I'm fairly sure I've listened to it but I don't remember anything about what it was like. Its fame is partly from the circumstances of its composition and premiere.

And on a lighter(?) note, Tom Lehrer, So Long Mom.

The end by the doors
Skeeter Davis “The End of the World” is a tonal shift from most of what you have there but after watching Girl Interrupted, it would be a must have on the list for me.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I thought I'd leave this classic for your consideration.
Not as doom and gloom but I feel like "We'll Meet Again" could fit the theme

Not sure if it quite matches the vibe you got there, but "Goodbye to a World" by Porter Robinson feels very much like an end of the world song to me.
