In The Dark
Cathedrals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can find you in the dark
So far away, where you are
But everything changes when it's time
When I run to the sea the sun shines
I don't know where to start
You hide away then say it's alright
I seem to paint a red wine
When you want it I'll be on the other side

I can see you in the dark
It don't matter where you are
I can see you in the dark

I can see you fall apart,
You turn away and fade out of sight
But I hear you call in the night
Let it go, let me hold you this time
(Don't say a word)
Lying in the halls of your heart
I see you lying awake in your ride
I'll be a spark in the sky
When you want it I'll be on the other side

I can see you in the dark
It don't matter where you are
I can see you in the dark

Inside your head, you're dead
I'm trying to believe it
Trying to believe it, trying to believe it
Trying to believe it, don't say a word

Running, running, running, running away
Running, running, running, running away
Running, running, running, running away
Running, running, running, running away

I can see you in the dark
It don't matter where you are
I can see you in the dark

Get me out when I'm out of time
??? When are you might as wrong
Track so high, just see you in the night
Trying to see you in the night




Trying to see you in the night
Trying to see you in the night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cathedrals' song "In the Dark" seem to be about a person who is away from someone they care about, but still feels a connection with them. The lyrics mention being able to "see" the person even in the dark, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for their emotional connection. The first verse seems to suggest that the person the singer cares about is distant or hard to reach, but that things can change when the timing is right. The second verse mentions the person falling apart and fading out of sight, but the singer is still able to see and hear them in the dark. The chorus repeats the sentiment that no matter where the person is, the singer is able to "see" them.


The bridge of the song takes a darker turn, referring to the person being "dead" inside their head. The singer is trying to believe something, but they don't want the person to say anything. The repeated phrase "running away" could suggest that the person being referred to is trying to escape from something, but the focus is still on the singer's connection to them.


Overall, the lyrics of "In the Dark" are emotional and introspective, with a focus on a deep connection between the singer and someone who is physically distant but emotionally close.
