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
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love," so I never went back

And 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

And 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

It's not just depression that can be interpreted this way, though I can see that, too. I think it's more of acceptance of someone passing, and then acceptance of our own fate - that we too will one day be gone.

At first he tries to live life normally, but there's a hole - that one's the obvious take. But then, he gets curious, and when he does, he's terrified by the spider. He doesn't know what's beyond that hole, he's scared and confused and lost about what happens when the light fades. The hole just keeps getting bigger until he either falls or jumps in - he either accepts death as a part of life, or it will come to him before he has time to really think about it - possibly speaking of those whose lives are cut short.

All in all, it's a profoundly sympathetic song. So I don't see it so much as "the pain of you gone is too much, I can't take it anymore" like i did when I first heard this in high school. Instead it's that bittersweet acknowledgement that we aren't here for long, and we comfort each other and ourselves in the idea that "it's going to be okay. You can rest now, and I'll join you later," because that beautiful, but terrible thought that we can't spend every joyful moment and memory with someone we absolutely treasure is something we all have to face. It fucking sucks, and it feels like your life is flipped on its head, but we all go through it, and we all need comfort.

This song is both that comfort, and that mortal reminder - like the images in each line that almost contradict each other (being taught that fear is the heart of love, so running away is love isn't it? We will hold each other again, but it will be eternal darkness, etc.)

Anyway, long story long, it's meant to bring comfort in a time of confusion and pain, and one where there are no answers that will be satisfactory - we just want our loved ones to stay, and to know they'll be okay, and thus, we'll be okay, too.

Get some help with that. It’s no way to live.

What’s the point of life if you’re constantly consumed with the thought that you’re gonna die one day?

We all die. It’s unavoidable. It’s also nothing to be afraid of.

Most people that grow old are far more accepting of that fact. Some even long for the release.

I’d like to believe that when I’m old as dirt and am on my way out I won’t be afraid. I’ll be ready to go. I’ll have lived my life, raised my children and accomplished what I wanted. What more could a person desire?

I’ve always thought death will be a lot like it was before I was born. The absence of everything. No consciousness, no feelings, no thoughts, nothing. You wouldn’t even be aware of it. It’s really nothing to be scared of. You won’t have the ability to be afraid of it. So why let it control your life?

I assume you’re young. Deal with your fear now so you can enjoy what time you have left.

I’d bet if you do you’ll be ready and willing to go when your time comes.

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
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
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 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
I'll follow you into the dark

6 years ago, i lost my boyfriend to suicide, he had abusive parents and.. i miss him deeply, i heard this song and... it fit perfectly.. anytime i miss him i just.. listen to this song and it helps me cope, Dusk, wherever you are, i miss you, i wish you weren't gone, you had such an impact on my life and.. i wont forget you.

tiny add on here: He was... he had such a bright hope in him, he wanted to be a game designer someday and well, he was also known by his friends as a good pixel artist and an even greater person, and although me and his friends dont talk anymore, i.. i hope they atleast remember him, because they don't really remember me anymore, but i made a sort of vow to keep his name alive, make him always remembered.

I appreciate the kind words everyone.. i was just expecting it to be lost in the sea of comments.. so.. thank you..

Update: i have now graduated... i made it Dusk.. i hope you're proud of me..

As sad as it sounds, I was introduced to this song by a girl from Canada that I never met in person. We met somewhere around 2001 on MSN chat and talked for hours a day for years and one night on video chat she just started singing, it hit me on a deep level. That was well over a decade ago and it's just stuck with me like a bad habit. Sadly we grew up and drifted apart.

Oh what I wouldn't give to be 24 again..
I'm in my late 30's & although I'm now over 6yrs sober after a decade long opioid addiction,I feel much older than I am.
I remember hearing this song in the midst of those dark times yet it reminds me of how I dug myself out of my own pit of misery even if it took a few tries.
If I could have a redo I'd surround myself w/good people,finish school and make something out of my life but I obviously can't redo my life so I'll try to make the best out of the rest of my life,God willing.
If you're still young and are reading this try not to be so hard on yourself,do the best you can do that you feel proud of YOURSELF years down the road,try not to spend time worrying so much about people who won't/don't respect you or who bring you down,be your beautiful,unique self and make sure you don't lose yourself in the madness of the world.
As the saying goes: "Wherever you go,there you'll be"
Make it a good life.

I always thought this music video was about depression, that hole represents the emptiness you feel when you’re depressed, starts off small & it continues to grow. & as it grows bigger & bigger every day you learn to move your way around it & ignore it as best you can without falling into that hole. That’s why at the end he just lets himself fall & when he realizes it’s not that deep of a whole he comes to an understanding that death is not as bad, so he sinks deeper & dies or commits suicide. That’s why you don’t see the hole or him at the end of the video because there was never a hole, there was just his depression. The singer did say the song was about loosing a loved one & coming to the realization that we’re all going to die someday, maybe he just lost somebody & is depressed?
...Either that or the guy has a really bad termite problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've lost a loved one, and I recognize this. If you try to read about it online, all you will find are texts about recovering from grief, "the five stages of mourning", how beravement can make you stronger and actually be a good thing for you in the long run.. If you mourn for more than 6 months it's considered a "syndrome" called "complicated grief". I just call it my life from then on. Or half-life, because I'm not really here anymore. And it's just like in the video, with the sunlight and the happy sounds of kids playing; you're in a parallel world where you see and hear all that, but it's not a part of you anymore. Or you're not a part of it. And you wear a mask because people long stopped asking if you're ok and in fact they expect you to be. You don't tell them that you too want to leave, that you are in fact secretly waiting for it, wishing for it. Because the sunlight can't warm you anymore, you belong to the dark. Because that's where your loved one is. And the only thing you still wish for in this world os to follow, in the hope of seeing them again.

This comment 😂 thank you...I found someone just like myself in this world after almost completely accepting there's no one like me he came into my life and after a whole year of everyone baffled by our friendship and a bond no one could quite figure out but could see was a real thing he is leaving but we both have the same dreams for our careers I have hope but I have been sad even before finding out...I could feel our time closing and then he said he was leaving to travel for work never give up hope you never know what the future holds though today is ending please keep going ✨🌈✨

I really would and will follow her into the afterlife, no matter what it is. Whether it's heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing at all, I'll be at her side for it.

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it... My grandparents were married over 50 years. After my grandmother passed away my grandfather went from being healthy to in a wheelchair with multiple tumors in his brain in just two months... He couldn’t walk and hardly talked.. Je passed away 3 months after my grandmother.. It was the broken heart 💔 that broke his body down... Thank you for making this song and reminding everyone what true love is like. It’s an ocean that can be the most fun you’ve ever had but can also consume every part of you.

This was one of my parents favorite songs when I was growing up and I remember them playing it all the time and wanting to be loved that much one day. As I watched my parents marriage start to come apart and after their divorce I'd listen to this song and wonder if love did exist. And I promised myself that whoever ended up being the one to be in my life forever, that even if one us passed away, we'd never forget and we'd never stop loving each other. And we'd wait until they joined us amongst the stars. And I hope one day I'll get to find someone that loves me that much too and dance to this song at my wedding. Because this is what true love for someone looks like ❤

I remember hearing this song for the first time on the radio and absolutely bawling my eyes out.
I've had a severe and omnipresent fear of death since I was a child (unprompted by any event-- I just suddenly realized i would die and it has consumed my life since then), and this song was so soft and sweet and unafraid. It still brings a tear to my eye.
I hope someday I can have this kind of comfort, and someone I love so much that I won't be afraid to join them when the time comes.

Heaven can't hold us, hell can't handle us... I lost my best friend recently when she passed after 28 years spent just trying to stay alive and out of the hospital. I sang this to her when she finally left that pain behind. She's been with me since that night, in ways that defy explanation, finding a way somehow to let me know that hey, don't worry, because we're all gonna be okay.

It's not about where we end up after this life, where our souls might go... We're so much bigger than this mortal existence can contain, and so we must eventually break free of it and become far, far greater.

I grew up in a fundamentalist church that didn’t allow dancing, movies, tv, makeup, birth control, piercings, tattoos, music, homosexuality, and pretty much anything else that could “lead you away from god.” This song has always been so comforting in the saddest way for me. The line “ I’ll follow you into the dark” really reminded me of my best friend who also left this church and how much I love them for sticking with me. The catholic school line was also a painful reminder of the things we’ve been through, but it’s also relieving to hear someone else who has gone through this type of suffering.

This song came to me like more than 10 years ago, when i was a young man. what touched me was the clean an soft melody and that serene voice of the singer. didn't think of anything sad. now, in 2021, i accidentally found the song in my favorite list, and i started to cry while listening. i don't know what it is. maybe it's the fear of death, or it's just being sentimental. i do hope those suffering from depression get out of it. can't hold my tears at the end of the mv, the empty room with intact floor and the children laughing and playing. good luck y'all

This song has nothing to do with viruses or pandemics. It’s about fearing what the afterlife is like.

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
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
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 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
I'll follow you into the dark

I'm seventy-four year old woman who lives alone and had a twenty-six year relationship with Steve, who died suddenly at age sixty-two in 2019. He was my world. I am severely depressed and nothing left but netflix.. Watching After Life with Ricky Gervais, Season 3, Episode 6 and heard this song and lost it...heart wrenching but the song makes sense to so many of us.

September of 2020 i lost my father to brain cancer. He was such a caring person, he loved helping anyone in his family. Losing a parent suddenly is a pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Now my best friend has 6 months or less to live and I can't do anything to help her. The fact that I lost my father and now im losing my best friend is the hardest thing right now. But I hope when my time comes I'll be able to see them again to hug them and tell them how much I love them

I just lost my father to brain cancer a week ago, and my mom died of ovarian cancer 2 and half years ago. Losing one parent was bad but losing two is awful, but I like to think that they have each other now much like this song is saying. I just wanted to say my condolences to you, because I know how hard it is losing people, especially family and people we see as family. Keep your head up though and live for them, that is all we can do sometimes.

This song invokes traumatic memories. It was playing on my car radio when I was waiting at a traffic light. I was following behind my friend to a restaurant back then when GPS devices weren't a thing. The light turned green and my friend was the first in line. A speeding pickup truck tried to beat the red light and tbone crashed into him as he went forward, killing him on the spot. My biggest regret too as I offered to drive us together in one car

So sorry for your loss I honestly can’t imagine how you feel but it definitely is only the pick up trucks fault and no one else’s. We can’t blame ourselves for every little thing going wrong. Your friend almost certainly wouldn’t want you to live with that guilt and you shouldn’t! Keep them in your memories and your heart and push the guilty thoughts away because they have no reason to be in your mind. Keep your head up and keep your heart full.

I eat Banana skins

There was nothing you could do, there's no possible way to blame you for this - the pick-up was entirely at fault

I'm so incredibly sorry about your loss, it isn't your fault

I always thought this song was about suicide when I was a moody youngster & it first came out. Now after being madly in love w the love of my life for 12 years+ eternity, I feel it’s about dying of a broken heart 💔 I know if he were to pass I would follow him into the dark shortly after. When people are deeply in love+live w each other for many many years their heart rates synchronize 💞 love is a beautiful
