I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine some day 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 NOs 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

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs 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
It’s nothing to cry about
Cause we’ll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs 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


This is the lyric of a song from Death Cab For Cutie , I've been listenning for many times. I can feel something very sad from this song while he is singing. So strong, his promise to his love. Another thing i can feel, however, is peaceful. Just like he sing:The time for sleep is now ,It’s nothing to cry about. Yes there is nothing to cry about in this world. we all live in the big machine called nation. We just work for a machine during our lifetime. So bad the feeling is, but we can do nothing except waiting for death coming. The history of the world is just the chronicle of life and death, nothing to cry about. There is no need to escape, no need to sing: if i was crying in the van, with my friend, it was for freedom......
