Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark Meaning
Song Released: 2006
I Will Follow You Into The Dark Lyrics
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...

This is basically a tender, reflective love song. The protagonist of the song is saying that, while he's not sure what will happen after death, (there's a reference to him leaving catholic school, and maybe his religious faith), he is willing to follow the "you" in the song (his special person) and be with them wherever they go, even to the very end- and beyond.

Ben Gibbard recently said on the radio during lollapalooza that this song is about after life and how he thinks what if heaven and hell aren't real or don't want anymore and then there's nothing but dark or like a limbo state...
And it's about commitment with the person you love...
"if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the 'no's' on there vacancy signs, if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks. I'll follow you into the dark."
