City And Colour - The Death Of Me Lyrics

Dallas and Alice in Chains in a few days, I'm a lucky guy

Cheers "drinks more"

This song is literally my life. ..

Me too. Couldn't make it through the first few times. And now a few years later and nothing's changed. Here's to being you. Fucked up as it is. Cheers

Everything hurts, i want to disappear

Hope youre still here

Just so y'all know the vinyl version of this album is like $100. I'm sobbing I love this band.

damn...

i can't relate to this song, but i can. i don't relate to the whisky part, but i relate to feeling small. i am a nervous wreck who gets upset over the smallest of things, and i can't help but feeling miserable about anything. i used to be so upbeat, but now i'm so pessimistic. i stay up thinking about how everyone i love is going to die, and i can't handle it, and i'm afraid that this feeling will never go away.

I'm not depressed it sad or edgy or dealing with emotional problems. I'm actually quite happy and enjoy life. This is just really fucking good music lol

When I'm a fucking mess I listen to this and I don't feel so bad. It helps accept the shit that's happening.
Girls do my head in...

This accurately describes my worst fear

If my ex could see one song about how I'm doing, this would be it

RG 9mm Oh I know... Relatable
And they are such a great band!

Gado demais

No kidding. All these years later.

Dallas is such an amazing songwriter. This song specifically touches my soul every single time I hear it. It feel as though it was written for me but I am sure there are so many others here who can relate to the song. Being an alcoholic myself and someone who deals with anxiety I know how lonely it can be to be drinking all of your problems away and/or to not being able to sleep well at night cos your mind is so fulled up with thoughts and memories from the past. The worst part is when you start drinking and it is all gone temporarily and once you're sober it hits back twice as hard. To all of you who is or have gone through the same I am sending you all my love and positivity. You're not alone. Have a beautiful day!

Johnny de Andrade thank u. same for me but just weed instead. hits harder when the next day when I'm not high. thank u ur not alone at all !

One of his best songs.

Thank you to my buddy Spencer.

My brother in law is a Christian, he told me this is a stupid song and then deleted me off Facebook for posting it. lol isn't that Fucked

what the fuck is with christians and their fucking fear of talking about death lol

your brother in law is what we call a cherry picking christian ,he has no love for christ and uses christianity as a way to feel morally superior than other people

TheHopperstein Christians suck man lol

favorite song ever boy

Squidgy BOI

So I was listening to this song while doing homework and somehow it got put on auto-replay and i didn't notice and I've been listening to the same song for the past hour

It's easy to play on guitar

I discovered this song after jacking off to a video I recently found on pornhub. It was the most emotional fap of my life

this whole album is making me cry so much. I'm aching to just kill myself

+ahlalalalaaa listen to good music, think about it later

stay strong! "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!" You have a purpose. You just have to find it and never give up on it!

Hey, I know it's rough. But this is the reason songs like these exist. so we can vent these feelings/ frustrations in a better way than self harm. I know I'm just seeing this comment 7 months+ from when you posted it, but that doesn't change the fact that somewhere there is a place/ people that will make you feel better. I hope I'm not too late and I hope your okay.

I know because this song hits me hard. Hell this song might as well describe many parts of my life. But there will always be something better. The present always feels terrible no matter how anyone else can look at it and say "Nothing gets better than this." There will always be something better. That is what makes us as people so beautiful.

I know i'm rambling but i just want you to know that it will always get better. No matter how bleak it may seem at this moment. Just trust that somewhere someone truly cares and killing yourself only robs the world of something beautiful.

Hope you’re okay& your hearts still beating 🖤

they have a funny way of putting depressing lyrics to happy tunes

+David Zollicoffer Check out Hope For Now. They do things like that.

My mom has been a heavy alcoholic for 10+ years. I love how people think this song is trying to make you sympathize with being an alcoholic when really, the point is at the end that you DON'T need alcohol to solve your problems. Your nerves will be the death of you either way. It's a song I will listen to until I get much older after she has passed to remind myself to not go down the same path as she did.

Favourite song ever man.

But I love this song and band

It's actually pretty fucking sad hahaha

This song explains me hahaha

I'm currently drunk for the very first time and suddenly this song makes a frightening amount of sense. I'm a little afraid, and definitely worried.


....But his voice is so beautiful that it helps me orient myself every time I re-listen.

Don't drink look where it got grownups. NOWHERE.

Please come to DFW, TX. <3

Song sends chills down my spine everytime

My fav song <3

I just got out of the military and alcoholism is something that i struggle with daily, this song speaks to me in more ways than i could ever explain. Brings tears to my eyes, but hope to my heart at the same time in a strange way..knowing i'm not alone in these struggles

@Courtney Ballard thank you for your service, and stay strong <3

+Courtney Ballard Never had a drink till two weeks after I was out of the Navy, last 5 years have just been one big drink. You're not alone

i fuckin feel you.

one  day at a time if you can manage !!   eventually you may find the strength to do without  so stay strong  and you can guess I can relate !!    enjoy  BRUV!!

You are alone. As am I. Good luck, courtney.

I listened to so much City and Color, while i was going through my Transition. Probably not the best idea in retrospect considering how sad there material is, But i really feel like it got me through the most difficult experience in my life.

This is one of my favorite songs. Ever. I love Dallas Green....most beautiful, soulful voice....his music heals me.

His & their music is truly beautiful, soul touching. =) 

I always see this ugly ass album cover in my suggested videos FUCK YOU!

get out

What an ignorant thing to say... I'm assuming you're 12-16years old due to your arrogant commentary.. I can understand if his music is not your cup of tea, but to dismiss it based on judgement of appearance is very small minded. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you may not find it beautiful, but others do. For you to label something ugly-what gives you that right? We are all human, we all have flaws, and because of that, NONE of us have the right to judge..to dismiss based off of petty observations. I suggest you learn to open your mind, and grow not only as a human being, but as a soul. Nonetheless, you insulting a simple painting and dismissing it because you don't fancy how it looks, makes your own insecurities quite apparent.

yet you clicked on it. good job fuck tard.

@SpringOf1995 No that mentality you have right now doesn't work. I can judge,I can do as I please, I have an opinion and i stated it, It is really simple as that. You call me closed minded yet you don't know anything about me and make assumptions about who i am, isn't that a little hypocritical on your part?

You completely missed the point...but if you wish to go there, then understand that we all have the right to do whatever we want. Mainly because we all hold the self power to do so. However, just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should. Which you would know with experience...which again, is why I assumed you were/are the age range because you're clearly going about that I can do whatever phase blah blah blah (yes, I guessed and I did state that I was assuming so). I'm also not making a complete blind assumption about you, I'm simply making an observation based off of what you're clearly stating based off of your petty commentary. I also believe you should understand what being closed minded is as well before calling me closed minded because I don't know a thing about you? Truthfully, I don't need to, and the same vice versa. You went on insulting an album cover, you chose to click on it, you chose to comment on it, you chose to do exactly what would make you complain about (which by the way doesn't make much sense) if you didn't like it, you could have simply A)not clicked on it or B)removed it from suggested videos. Nonetheless, my point in my statement was that the album cover, whether you find it ugly or not, is irreverent to the music itself. But of course, you completely missed the point.. Which is why I'm pointing it out for you.

I had a friend who listened to this song literally the night before he was killed. I can't stop listening to this song, I miss him so much..

+LezboxAna how'd he die?

+Harvey Lee I feel like this song is really just about anxiety

Sorry to hear that. Big hugs to you. My step brother sent me this song a couple of years ago. He died of an overdose in November. I miss him lots

Kris Mackenzie, it was the last song he posted on Facebook. We had mutual friends, you and I do too Ana. Though I never met the kid, this song always reminds me of him.

. . . If my friends died before my eyes I would just go mute. For the rest of life... They are the first actually friends that would never leave me..

dont you just love to harmonize with him when he sings "I know."

+Roddric Cabigas Yes, thats the best part! haha Wonder why that part prompts you to harmonise with him

+Jack Westrop sleep at night

This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.

My best friend told me that she loved this song, she told me that his voice was the kind of voice that you want to put in your pocket so that any time you get sad you can take it out and listen, and it would make you feel better. She was right! A sad song that is uplifting...that is irony. :-)

i love this song so much....very touching❤️

y so perfect?

I found out about this song and band randomly. Some guy had died, i had no clue who he was so being curious i clicked on his profile and the kid had shared this song a few hours before his death. Great song. May he rest in peace.

Wow.  Awesome story.

Eh, the Band is just one guy Gustavo. his name is Dallas Green and was the lead guitarist and clean vocalist for a band from canada called Alexisonfire. You should def do some research on them I promise it is worth your time. 

GODEATER Fenrir alexisonfire is one of my favorite bands of all time. Rip

dallasandcolour88, are you being an effing troll or just an ass?  The irony of your post suggests you know nothing about what this song means.  It seems that you've never had  'the blues'.  And I'm not talking 'the girl/boy I was fucking for two months left me and now I want to eat a pistol' blues.  A little life experience will eventually give you the real mutha fuckin' blues.  My apologies if I'm off-base but youtube comments can be like turds.  People drop them when they have to and aren't concerned about the colour or density.  They just got to get them out.  Peace.

Oops, I think I left food for a troll who left his place under the bridge lol

i am one of those people that is almost always touched by anxiety and ruthless inquietude. it is not easy to fit in society when you are like that, and it is hard to constantly try to function 'normally'. i like to think about us, these kind of misfits, as aliens stuck in a human form, that were born at some other galaxy, in past lives lived on other planets with, for us, more soothing air to breathe. so i often see Earth as a filthy round ball, filled with no oxygen and nothing but toxic gasses

We are spiritual beings having a physical experience... a lot of the disorientation and confusion occurs from thinking that it goes the other way around.

I have anxiety and this song is very relevant.

What are you, twelve? You obviously have no idea of the complexities of the human mind.

Trying to deal with anxiety while not giving into the vices some turn to soothe their nerves. As a guy who has been straight edge and dealt with anxiety disorders most of his life, I can relate.

Man, I wished this were true...

Anyone know what this song is about? Depression?

Insomnia, being lovesick, and yes, depression.

Your funny Poppin A P

...whut

I was listing to this song and my naked girlfriend asked for sex, I yelled at her for interrupting the song. She got mad and said C&C is not the best, only top 5. I had no recourse but to throw hot soup on her (she listened to C&C as I heated up the soup) after the soup she bagged forgiveness for her grievous error, but I did not hear her, I was blasting C&C at max volume. I hear she lives under a bridge, so when ever I pass over one I put the windows down so she can hear the music and weep.

dang, I guess you just answered why iv'e known so many people to commit suicide. They didn't have internet. If only I knew sooner.

thanks im trying

How about no. Brain chemistry, mate.

to they guy who lives in a two bedroom trailer with four people that plays wow, thank you

Right, because having internet access magically cures depression.

why does the song cut off at the end

Better question is why does it start to loop for the last minute or so

Not to mention that internet is avaliable almost everywhere now a days. Man, sometimes I just feel more stupid by reading comments on youtube.

''Why are you depressed?'' Stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard. I hate people that say that. like they bring up how people are dying in the world and you think all depressed people are just stupid and dont realise that? We all get depressed, having money or internet access doesnt mean we're all happy. You make it seem like money is the only thing human beings need. Theres alot of reason for a person to become depressed. Please dont be such an arse, Thanks..

"Do me a favor and justify your emotions for me on a cognitive basis, because I just can't seem to comprehend them," is what they're really saying.

Some peoples' problems stretch beyond not having access to the internet...

Dallas-City & Green-Colour

Blew some minds.

Having access to internet doesn't mean you live comfortably? I live in a 2 bedroom trailer with 4 people and 3 pets and no one has steady income, and I had internet and I play WoW.

Also, maybe they walked to the local library.

Don't be a jackass.

these songs and others have certainly helped me survive dark times hopefully you're alright !! KEEP THE FAITH MATE!!

I love Dallas Green his music.
That being said, I don't think we should be commenting on how he saved our lives or whatever. I seriously doubt the fact that many people are actually depressed and actually have insomnia or if it's just a way to get a thumbs up. This does not apply for everyone. Everyone can be someone else over the internet. Just because they feel that that person is more interesting than he/she actually is.
If you have issues, I'm sorry to hear that. Just don't lie about it.

this song is helping me through my suicidal thoughts

That's why they call it "practice.'

You are absolutely pathetic. Just sayin'.

a waste life

City & Colour / you , Im stoned

hypocritical hippo

This guy... this guy takes the jumble of a mess of my brain and puts it out in the most beautiful and simple way.

Just because other people have worse problems doesn't make your own any less important. And educate yourself about these disorders before you comment about them. You sound extremely ignorant. Just saying.

You're a scumbag. That is all I have to say.

yet there seems an odd lack of depression cases coming from africa. well it seems like feeling sad is only considered a condition in a first world country

don't be so goddamn melodramatic, jesus fucking christ

it sounds like you're an average teenager

And what about the insomnia part? Do you call that comfortable

GOD.... I Wish Someone Could Understand Me......

You obviously live quite comfortably if you have access to internet, why are you depressed for?
Sounds like a 1st world problem top me

Love this song. Hey people if u like acoustic jams, check mine out! Thanks:-)

100% can relate

This song, forever.

Made 4me!!
6am...Im here =\

thats the problem with the medical industry though, they always want to put a bandaid on everything instead of finding the root of the problem and fixing it. sure, you could just take pills the rest of your life, but they have side-effects and theyre not very good for you, especially in the long run.

sometimes I miss you.

Not really, I've had depression and anxiety all my life, an I've tried every anti depressant out there, and all they did was make my problems worse. I've found the only thing that works is exercise, and ridding oneself of the western diet.

I definitely need whiskey right now...

If used indefinitely it is a cure

Same here...

Awesome stuff

This song reminds me of someone that use to be close to me.

This just makes me want to cry, but then I know what being an alcoholic is like. I just want to end but then I know its going to get better durring the summer when friends are free and this te of a white wasteland I'd close to gone.

Your life is always what you make of it. Just like some people at 80 tell themself they are too old to do anything while others do exercises and thing that even I can't do at my age (21). You got to enlarge your vision of everything and also focus on what realy makes you happy.

Anxiety disorder

Dedicated to all the bipolar people out there....especially myself... xo

lol dont worry if the say that that pretty much means not knowing the truth

your stupid...if you think that....smrk

But you can control your emotions, what did you think meditation was for?
