The Dark
Joe Hedges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we'll do when we become millionaires
Every moment of doubt passed us by
All the spiders i wouldn't kill
What i see when i look in your eye
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until i feel your blood in my heart
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until the dark tears us apart
It's to the point now where i'm not myself
Unless i'm with you and nobody else
All the bad days we had made us cry
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until i feel your blood in my heart
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until the dark tears us apart
I'm never letting you go
I'm never letting you go
I'm never letting you go
I'm never letting you go
Every mark on the map of your skin
Trace the outlines of places i've been
'til the last flame goes out in the night
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until i feel your blood in my heart
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until i feel your blood in my heart
I'll hold you close
I won't let you go
Until the dark tears us apart
These lyrics are a love song about the deep connection that two people have. They describe various small details and actions that have happened in their relationship that have made it so strong. The opening lines about snowflakes on the hair and becoming millionaires are a metaphor for how all the little things in their relationship have added up to something big and valuable. The line about not killing spiders could symbolize the singer's compassion and how they value all life, no matter how small. The reference to remembering pills could suggest that the person being addressed has health issues, and the singer is supportive and attentive to their needs. When the singer says they won't let go until they feel the other person's blood in their heart, it shows a deep desire to feel completely connected and in sync with them.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "I'll hold you close, I won't let you go" to emphasize their devotion to the other person. They also mention bad days that they've had together and how crying has brought them closer. The final stanza talks about "marks on the map of your skin" and tracing the outlines of places the singer has been, which could symbolize how the other person has become a map of their own life and experiences. The last line, "Until the dark tears us apart," suggests that even in the face of challenges, they will stick together and remain connected.
Overall, this song is a declaration of love that celebrates the small things that make a relationship meaningful and deep.
