Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark Lyrics






Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

    Ive been through so much. Abuse, bullying, my parents divorced, my dad never loved me and i live with him. Ive almost killed myself on countless occasions but he blamed me every time. I drifted into self harm and so i was so ready to give it all up and swallow pills. But then melody came into my life. She saved me. She made me know i am something. She sticks up for me. Hugs me. Holds me. I love her so much. She tells me i am worth living. I swear on my heart i am going to stick with her forever because she helped pull me out of my rabbit hole of sadness. I love her with all of my heart

    Cancer, sadness, people dying and sad puppies and stuff like that.

  26. M.... L....

    These comments are more depressing than the song. I hope you are doing well

  27. S.... P....

    Reading some of these comments while this song plays made me cry. Just remember that you can make it through the hard times and be grateful for all the memories you can share with your loved ones. Cherish your friends and family

  31. R.... L....

    Hello everyone, I'm Ray aka Zipp007 and I'm into doing music covers of songs I find intriguing. So I Finally decided to comment and also I decided to cover this song. If you have time, LMK what you think! I'm not perfect but I have been a musician ever since I was in middle school and I would appreciate it if you would "like" and "subscribe" to my channel. Great song BTW! I love it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQsnZX40AIg

  32. B.... G....

    Mila if you're out there I want you to know that my love for you will never die, three years may have passed ever so blissfully yet the emptiness I feel inside will never be filled with joy like as you did when you were alive. I miss the days we spent together as owner and pet. I miss you darn cat!

  33. R.... V....

    I miss you dad you were my best friend my rock and my lord and savior hopefully we reunite someday soon

  34. E.... S....

    My first love died in a car accident 3 years ago. I should have stopped him from going to another city. He gave me the choice. But I was so angry that he didn't stand by me . I said that he should go. I still miss him today. I loved him. But today I have someone new by my side. Thank you Matteo for staying with me no matter what I did or am. Thanks to you, I was able to start over and let Phillip go. I love you. Always.

  35. 5.... ....

    I had myself and wish to

  36. C.... S....

    All these sad comments and all I remember when I hear this is that time George Blagden broke my heart with a cover of this for Enjoltaire.

  37. E.... S....

    Who is here because of Reddit?

  38. S.... R....

    Lost my love. Actually thought I was dying of broken heart. Had heart attack and bypass surgery. We got back together and I learned something big. Be ok with yourself so you can be great for another. Be as healthy as possible because you never know when it's time to be superman.

  39. N.... ....

    I haven’t lost anyone but this song still hits me hard

  40. A.... ....

    I don't have a sad story to tell, but I just want to say that I came here after rereading ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley because of all too many references to this song.

  41. S.... b....

    Dear Jaden,
    It's been three years. I hope you're doing good up there. A few months ago I said my last goodbye to you. I wrote a letter to you, taped it onto a helium balloon and let it go at our elementary school playground. I have no memories of you past the age of 10. I wish you could be here for our teen years. Until we meet again, I'll wait for you on the playground.

  42. g.... k....

    If this is a black metal song it would have been creepy

    Love of mine, someday you will die
    But I'll be close behind and I'll follow you into the dark
    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

    If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
    And illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule

    And I held my tongue as she told me,

    I know this isnt as depressing as the other coments but right now its been about 2/3 years ago when this happened and i am still really sad about it my cat her name was rose she was a beautiful ginger cat and had gotten bit by a dog amd died of terror right in front of my eyes and i was so sad because i didnt and couldnt do amything about it but i should have because her sister i sreally lonely because we cant show her so much attention that she used to get and the dog that bit her is my aunties that she still owns, rose had come out of her hiding place thinking it was safe but the dog had ran out of the grannyflat (what we call t because my grandparents live there) and up the stairs to find the cats and found roseand tried playing with her and tried picking her up but her back like mother dogs do with puppies and the cat had gotten to scared and started bleeding from the mouth and died from terror. Sorry if i went to deep into context but i needed to get that off of my chest

  45. M.... 4....

    My dad passed away from lung cancer when I was 18 years old and I’m 22 now, I just found this song which is crazy but it brought back memories that sometimes I don’t like to think about, In reality the best times hurt the worst. Keep ur loved ones close because someday ur gonna wish you did❤️

    M.... 4....

    bro, thank you, i for sure will

  46. S.... R....

    Im in college now, and i haven’t changed since i was in HS. Im still introverted and shy whenever I’m around people. I want to have more friends and make memories together, but I’m so socially awkward. It makes it hard for me to connect with people

  47. S.... R....

    I feel like i wasted my teenage years. I graduated in 2015, im 22 right now and i regret so much about high school. I literally only had ONE best friend all throughout high school. I was an introvert, I never went to prom, i never joined any clubs or sports, never went to any football games, never had a boyfriend, never been to a house party, and i would only go to school and straight home after. When i listen to this song, i feel like I’m going to die knowing ive never done anything exciting while i was young

  48. �.... �....

    Europe is the most suicidal region of the world according to crude rates, stop crying pussier y'all gonna die at then end no one will last for ever , do your self a favor and pray to one god only ....peace

  49. a.... t....

    Red from OSP brought me here

  50. R.... ....

    Farewell Buddy, you were more than a chihuahua, you were family and the best friend I've ever had.

  51. S.... Z....

    Even if your loved one still died they are okay They went somewhere with peace it’s a beautiful place I promise

    S.... Z....

    Who says its a 'better' place? How do you know theres 'peace' there? I get so angry when I hear stupid things like that.

  52. S.... G....

    I haven’t heard this song since I was a teenager. I ugly sobbed in my car on the way home from college, right after hearing Wish I hated You by Blink 182. Rough day but I’m grateful for a good cry.

  53. C.... ....

    I don't want to die.

  54. M.... m....

    Reading these comments is making me 😢 cry

  55. P.... ....

    I did something similar using the Joker movie with their new song Blue Bloods to convey their lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_70bly8mXM

  56. C.... f....

    Here we go666

  57. R.... ....

    This song helped me accept the inevitability when I found out about my son's life threatening disease. Needless it broke me. But this kinda made me feel a welcomed fate. So death can for a cutie, if you read this by a random chance..

    Thank you

  58. r.... t....

  59. B.... L....

    This song is about twin flames.

  60. S.... h....

    Scrubs brought me here!!!

  61. K.... E....

    Last song he ever played for me. Miss him every second of every day.

  62. N.... G....

    I’ve never heard this song, but I really like it.

    N.... G....

    This band, that I somehow came across has a few other that are I really like!!This band is underrated and needs to get more attention because of their talent; in my opinion.

  63. M.... ....

    i couldn’t of rediscovered this song at a better time.

    M.... ....

    Hey, Idk you and I hope this isn't weird to you but I hope you're doing better <3

    M.... ....

    Yeah man, you good Mick? Keep on keeping on.

  64. N.... ....

    A very close friend of mine is fighting against cancer right now and she'll probably not make it but I will follow her into the dark no matter what will happen :')

  65. K.... B....

    Damn are y'all okay like these comments are sad as fuck got my mascara running-

  66. H.... 1....

    I live in the dark. You can't easily follow me

  67. B.... F....

    All I have to say addiction is one hell of a ride but it’s scary to change things in your life, but if you want life enough you can put he needle down. Nothing is permanent except the end. And most of our stories are just beginning.

    B.... F....

    Very true. Hard to beat, but not impossible

  68. z.... ....

    Yes - i am still hearing this in 2020! Are you ?

  69. B.... ....

    I knew dcfc a while ago just by name and literally just in 2020 i decided to listen. Best year ever.

  70. H.... F....

    Well I came down to the comments, and thought to myself "maybe someone will have put the chords or whether or not this song is in standard tuning?" ..... nope turns out everyone has cancer and their grandma has a drug problem... thanks YouTube.

  71. A.... �....

    Yorumları okuyunca insanın yüreği sızlıyor.

    I’ll follow U anywhere !!! 💙

  73. S.... S....

    I have to go to north Salem, ny in a few weeks then one other place in new hampshire. It’s necessary before Ireland. I know you live near or around so don’t be afraid I’m stalking you 🙊. It’s just something that’s necessary. Some stones I have to get first. I told my husband that our connection has to be completely severed before this trip. He at first thought I’m losing it but I think he’s starting to see the significance that there’s a bigger picture at play. I can’t take his connection with me, it’s not allowed.

  74. Y.... ....

    All these sad comments mourning lost loved ones are making me sad. To those comments, I am sorry for your loss and wish you and your loved ones good years for the rest of your days. To everyone else, have faith that it’ll get better, whatever it may be. Good luck, good life, and good night to everyone!

  75. m.... n....

  88. M.... S....

    I cried listening to this song tears of joy❤️❤️❤️😍😃💧

  89. M.... C....

    This reminds me of the song that plays in the WeBearBears episode of Gizzy getting stuck in the tree

  90. T.... J....

    This time of year is more sad than joyful as I remember the anniversaries of my parents' passing -- Mum passed 4 years ago; and Dad 2.

    On the drive home this evening, I heard this song on the radio. I almost had to pull over; such emotions welled to the surface.

    I miss Mum and Dad as much today as I did they day they passed. What I wouldn't give to hear one of Dad's jokes or taste some of Mum's cooking...

    just...

    one...

    more...

    time.

    T.... J....

    I can't imagine what you must feel like. Mums and Dads are so integral to what we are. And I'm sure they are proud of you wherever they are. Trust me, all they would wish for is for you to be happy and live your life to the fullest. That's all they want. Keep the memories of your Dad's jokes and Mum's food and everything about them close to your heart and make them proud by living a good life :)

  91. J.... B....

    Fuuuuck i'm search a movie

  92. M.... P....

    RIP Shane Bachelor my first love and greatest love of my life we will hold each other soon

  93. g.... b....

    Love of mine, someday you will die
    But I'll be close behind and I'll follow you into the dark
    No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark

    If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
    And illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

    In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me,
    Son, fear is the heart of love, so I never went back

    You and me we've seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary and the soles of your shoes
    Are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    But it's nothing to cry about
    'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms

  94. E.... R....

    I am a firm believer in Christ but this song speaks to me. Gives perspective. I’ll follow you into the dark

  95. C.... T....

    I love you Craig <3 I will follow you into the dark

    C.... T....

    I'll guide us back to the light <3
