Everyone is saying this song is really sad, when really, it's more bittersweet. He may be gone, but she's finally reconsiling with that loss. She's becoming better. She's recognizing she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and that his spirit lives on with her happiness.
The truth hurts. But once you're over that pain, it can truly be the most refreshing feeling anyone can experience.
Right.
I understood the lyrics only when I saw your comment. Suddenly I started to cry.
damn bro now I am crying in a sleepover
@xXx Punk Rock xXx sader
I always thought it was about the man dying and the woman incredibly depressed and in mourning. Then she is convinced she is going to die as the voices in his head are talking about how they meet again and at the end she is on her deathbed, prepared to meet her husband in heaven
When I was younger I would listen to this everyday. It was my favorite song but now I come back and I realize how dark it actually is. I still like it though
True I guess that's the cost of getting older 😥

When i was younger I hated this song
I come back now years later and realize how dark this song is
I love it now

The lyrics aren’t dark. It’s just bittersweet.
The story is extremely dark.
@@epicaunleashed8764 no it isn’t, it tells about a lovely pair of old couple whom husband passed away, and the wife has been missing him crazy till causing her illusions, but all that memory they’ve had are happy. So it’s more bittersweet

@@epicaunleashed8764 their love make it better
@@ryanhuang7918 and I think with the I’ll see you when I fall asleep” might mean she could be dying too
came here after the realization that the world will keep in going after I die, like, imagine what great movies and songs that I won’t be able to listen to? I probably will never see my great grandkids, or what amazing people they might be, or if we find living things on mars. but worst of all, my parents will not be able to see my brother have kids. they had him late. they will never see anything else, and I can’t just ring them up anytime I want, and neither can my kids when I die. I’d like to think that our souls are reborn again someday. to relieve this sadness.

*Remeber when every super market played this song?*
-Little did they know how sad it was-
No, thank God I don't.
I got a supermarket add while reading this
Yes
No, next...
I always thought this song was about a woman who's husband has died but her mind is tricking her into thinking he's back. She sees him in her dreams, she hears his voice in his head, she thinks he's in the house with her. In the beggining she continually goes through periods where she subconsiocly realizes he's not there and her mind says "No, he can't be gone". For example, in the beginning she says "I don't like this empty house" meaning she doesn't like it because she's all alone, bu she can't figure out why she feels so unerved because she thinks her husband, or at least his ghost, is still with her. I think the whole thing about the boat carrying their bodies implies that the boat is carrying his body into an afterlife and she wants to be on the boat with him. "The screams all sound the same" is when shes starting to realize hes actually gone and the voices she hears dont sound like him anymore. About halfway through the song, she realizes what's been happening with "And your gone, gone, gone" and realizes she been in a trance the entire time. Aft r realizing hes forever gone, she wants to commit suicide when she hears his voice again. She knows it not really him, but she realizes she will always have memories of him and see him in her dreams, and she knows he wouldn't want her to take her own life, so she stops.
that's deep man....
Every tine I listen to this song I cry now ;-;
That's pretty much exactly what I thought, except she knew he was dead. But she was still in shock & thought if she wished hard enough he might come back & it would only be a dream .
I don't think her mind was playing tricks because my partner died tragically age 42 & this is exactly what it was like for me - still is sometimes.
After people close to you die, you might seem strange to the outsider & do weird things. I was still very clear in my mind, processes & actual thinking; I was just in complete shock & grief. I guess I felt 'numb'.
To be more accurate, I was so deep in my own thoughts I kind of forgot about everything else, including what my legs were doing at times, if that makes sense? I knew I had a body (but not literally), so for example I might not consciously realise if I hit my leg on the corner of a cupboard, or that I tripped over a toy.... It's weird I know .. and even weirder to write!!
I hope that makes sense, at least to some.
Dang. I thought it was about a tough breakup. I thought that “the screams sound the same” meant that they weren’t listening to each other arguing. And that the rocky relationship was causing her to become super depressed (the voices in her head). I could go into more depth with all the lyrics but I’m to lazy. I might edit later.
I love hearing other people’s take on the song. It’s so awesome! Your ideas make much more sense.
@@mickeysofine6386 Realistically, I'd say a true lyricist would prefer the meaning to be what each individual needs it to be.
I nearly lost my wife 6 years ago,listening to the lyrics to this song reduces me to a blubbering wreck thinking what could’ve been,me on my own with our 5 year old son….thankfully she’s still here ❤️
We are with u ❤️
Hope you guys have a long healthy life
I'm so sorry you have to go through that, I know you probably hear that often but im not so good with words and I truly wish you a million good days a head of you.
No ok ale nikt nie pytał
I know and feel what you got from the song. It has a meaning that brings tears if you've almost or lost a loved one. I just lost my best friend, wife, and the love of my life on Christmas. I love you for ever Shalan.
Can't believe this song has become nostalgic...
Agreed, most modern day songs are garbage, we need something to restore faith, we’ll look no further than this gem my friend👍✌️
@@blockerhall4532 whatt this is the most nostalgic song ever 🥲🥺😭
My point is it leaves songs of this era standing.
Aged really well
I know right
*when i was 10 and i literally didn't understand this song* : OMG, there is so much positivity, i love its vibe
*few years later* : i was wrong
me the same...the best music
Those British artists are tricky like that.
@@jayswitalski6943 and i love that in a music...
@@jayswitalski6943 Icelandic actually, but I see your point. 😉
I am still 12 but, when I was 7 this song made me think of great things like seeing the ones you miss. But now with Corana and that, it reminds that I miss them and can't have them back, but I still listen ._. I feel like I just have an emptiness to this song.
I used to think the lyrics were "Cause though the truth may worry us, shit will carry on, better safe than sure,"
What...
Thats what I thought it was, and I kinda preferred it that way ._.
Great, now every time I hear this I actually think that's what the lyrics were.
Tomasz Zając You're welcome, my friend.
Wow, me too! Glad to know I'm not the only one.
Man, i don't know why I can't make it through this song without crying nowadays. It like this song brings out stronger emotions now than it did in the past.
Not this song, but I definitely get like that with other songs, so I get you
It's an awesome song.
The female singer always reminds me of Lena Meyer Landruth, whom I hold dear to my heart, since I'm from Germany and vividly remember her Eurovision Song Contest win....
Same here. It hits me differently and harder now for some reason..was different for me last year.
Is anyone else re discovering this song and always thought it was such a happy mood when younger. Just to come find it again and know it wasn't the case.
Yes
For me there’s a lot of hope and inspiration past the bittersweet. The bittersweet is temporary, life after death and being reunited. :) It’s a happy ending. Also an affirmation that we all have our own struggles in life, some physical challenges some face mental, others both…but no matter how our bodies vary in their strength and ability, it’ll get you through-short or long life it all has purpose is what I get from this. 🙏 live in the dash between your birth and death years. :)
The comments are full of these comments. The reason I started to listen to this was because it wasn't happy lyrics. The melody is catchy for sure, but with different lyrics it would not be as great. I know a lot of people don't actually listen to songs, but for me the lyrics have always been a big part of songs.
Nah, I was depressed as shit when I was little-ish and this song came out, I just didn't realize it until I was literally suicidal 🙃
I'm terrible at deciphering lyrics for some reason and end up just mumbling a long beat I can. So whatever great, old song rediscover I end up studying it. I just realized how melancholy/bittersweet these lyrics are. Now the song has deeper meaning to me.
My partner and I lived in a big old house. In 2014, my partner in his early 40's passed away tragically. This song described exactly how I felt left behind with the children, especially at night when everyone was asleep and I was 'alone'.
I hope you're doing okay
@@laracrop5891 We're doing OK thank you Lara x
Life is never the same or even what we expected. But I have learned that relationships are parallels. No two are the same We aren't replacing one with the other.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you’re okay
@@madmansmagic5157 Thank you x
We are doing ok now I think. Grief is a funny thing because it takes as long as it does. Then one day, you wake up & feel strong enough to move forward. Once we get to this point it's like two steps forward, one step back. Fortunately over time the steps back are either less often or less big .. but they are always there .. and that's ok.
Youll see them again
your never alone

so I simply typed 'hey hey hey lyrics' into the search bar.

2:55 honestly gives me chills. He sounds like he's in so much pain and agony, and the vocals are amazing.
Always been my favorite thing about this band. You can always feel the passion and raw emotion in their voices. Very special
He? I don't comprehend he ? She's thinking of committing suicide due to her losing her love. He's trying to reassure her, that she'll be ok. Am I crazy in my assumptions ? My husband dropped dead on top of me. Am I reading this wrong ?
This song is really helping me cope with my friends abandoning me. They gave me the motivation to get up in the morning and now I feel like I have nothing and I can't get up anymore. This helps me cry it out.
no you are not alone. Just the planet changing and it is quite alright but you have new friends just go search FB....
Not real friends

I hope you re in a better place by now ❤
Let's hope you have found better friends by now ✌️

It may have to do with the "ska" influences which was pretty popular in the '90s.
knowing the true meaning of this song changes everything and makes me realize just how valuable life’s are. it makes me realize how lost i would be without my dad or without my mom, and how lost they would be without each other even though they don’t work well together, they love each other. this song hurts in so many ways but it’s so consoling and so so real and makes you stop to think; why would you ever take this/these time(s) for granted.
3:01 there something about this lyric, the way it's sung, and how the instrumental kinda speeds up and intensifies that gets to me. with the right thoughts, i could outright sob to it
0:41 I've always thought it was "TRUST myself".My life is a lie

I lost my son 4 years ago, a single fatal auto accident. I loved this song before he passed, I love it even more now. I comprehend the lyrics even more, so now, the loss & grief. Then there's the wish, the hope, and trying to carry on.
I miss my son, I have yet to find a more befitting song for him. He would've been graduating from college next month. 4 years is a long time w/o him & it feels like yesterday sometime.
Thank you for a profoundly intense song bursting with emotions. With much honor, respect & love, Rock on!!🕊❤️🔥

Hey, hey, hey
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep
It's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey, hey, hey
There's an old voice in my head
That's holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey
The screams all sound the same
Hey
And though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey
The screams all sound the same
Hey
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey
The screams all sound the same
Hey
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Story to Song:
This girl was married to this guy who had died in an accident.
She is now depressed
Her husband (who is the man voice) can here and see her struggling
He wants the best for her but can not help her.
And when he says “Don’t listen to the words I say cause the screams all sound the same” he means that the voice in her head is him but they are
driving her insane so she screams in fear and confusion.
But when she says “you’re gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear” she stills misses him.
Then he say I”’ I’ll see you when you fall asleep” he means I’ll will see you when you die.
At the end she’s dies and when she becomes a ghost the find each other and he tells her that those
Voices in her head where really him all along.
🙃 just my story line
Hmm. Voices in your head... Is that a good thing?
It sounds like he died of Alzheimer's or some form of dementia, when she says, "I watched you disappear".
I agree. This happened to me in 2014. This is how I felt left behind 'alone' in the big old house we owned.
Summer Daisy my head cannon is the girl is depressed and the man is trying to consoul her
Actually, the band "Of Monsters and Men" wrote the song with complete freedom as to what it means. Basically what I'm saying is, when they were interviewed about the song, they said that they wanted their listeners to interpret the lyrics for themselves, but I like your theory! No hate, I promise!:/
The way the lyrics were explained to me, is that it's about an older married couple. The wife is struggling with Alzheimer disease. She says the house is empty because she's forgetting all the memories she has in that place. She doesn't know if she's wrong or right because the disease prevents her from remembering one way or the other. The old voice in her head is who she used to be before the disease took over. That's why the man says to tell her that he misses their little talks. The man says "Don't listen to a word I say" because although he loves his wife immensely, he's letting his frustration get the better of him and ends up yelling at her. Then a the end the wife just wants to die so she doesn't have to deal with the disease any more. They're both old though, so he'll be following soon after she passes.
54t5uk1 beautiful😢👏
thats deep stuff :(
I learned it being about a widow who misses her husband but I think I prefer this version more.
when i have heard this song I've imagine quite the same story but without old people. I thought there were a couple and the girl was ill (something like degenerative diseases, SLA or brain cancer)
p.s. I'm sorry for my english
This is exactly how I hear it. There's an old couple, and she is suffering from dementia/Alzheimers. She doubts herself but has moments of clarity. Her husband has to watch all of this but stays with her. The first couple of verses are lovely; she is insecure and he reassures her. "I don't like walking around this old and empty house" ..
"So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear"
Lover of 20 years passed away in 2010. Roommate brought home Litttle Talks. I listened to it 300 times no less. It's magic transformed my attitude. It did not lesson my pain but it did even more. It kept me alive somehow. I cannot be more grateful. I am in love with life once again. Thank you is not enough. In love and reverence for your band's genius.
To anyone who is alone just speak out and remember there are people out there who love you.
Last year , I remember going through severe severe severe depression bipolar mania and bulimia , I was going through an IOP ( group therapy at hospital ) after a really tough day I went to the hospital cafe and this song was playing. I left sobbing. It was so hard. A year later I still struggle with being sad at times , I'm not perfect. But I just started a new job as a nursing assistant and I can listen to this song and not feel any pain anymore. Next stop is nursing school to become a psych nurse. It gets better my friends. Just gotta keep swimming
Im so proud of you! Yes time get tough jut look how much stronger you are!! You are put here to do amazing things i wish you the best in your future you definitely got this!!❤
You don't have to be perfect. You have to be you. You may take great pride in your fight not to let this illness take you over. I wish you very good luck in your career.
This song helped me with depression even though it’s a bittersweet song
Love so much you and how strong you are!! Cheers from italy ❤️
I’m so glad things are on the up for you. I really hope things continue getting better for you!!
I could be wrong but I have a theory to the meaning of this song.
A woman was recently widowed and she is having trouble to deal with it. She keeps hearing her husband's voice and believes she is indeed speaking to him. The voice is trying to comfort her, telling her that he is not forever gone. They will soon be together for an eternity, away from all danger. They will reunite, never to separate. Whereas for the video, I do not have a reasonable explanation for the entire video but I believe the monsters are an example of how the widow feels, and the travellers may be helping the widow find her peace and happiness, as shown in the ending
D E E P
You are on point. That's the exact meaning. Did you look up the meaning of the song? I know I had to.
This song is just about a widowed woman who is slowly sinking into insanity because her husband passed.
An old couple and the woman has Alzheimer's
I could be wrong now i stand incorrected nice job 😊😊😊
It is a widow who thinks to commit suicide, but the ghost husband tells her not to.
When i first heard this, i like it already because i was around 13 to 14 year old and now I'm 24 still listening to this.
"You're gone gone gone away I watched you disappear all that's left is the ghost of you now we're torn torn torn apart there's nothing we can do just let me go we'll meet again soon..."
"Now wait wait wait for me please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep"
Losing someone I love is one of my biggest fears
It's such a happy song with depressing lyrics it makes me happy...? WHAT
So it's not just me who found the lyrics super depressing

This song gives me nostalgia I love this song it almost makes me sad thinking of how the world has changed Idk man I can’t put my finger on it
I think it has to do with the fact that people have a harder time enjoying the smaller things in life due to smartphones making us want to be on social media all the time, myself included. That, or we were more innocent and naïve when we were younger...
@@marioandtyler yeah I agree that probably has a big factor to do with it
The world has changed, and not for the better. Just gotta make the best of it and try to make it better in our own way.
same bro wth
I 100% FEEL YOU ! The vibes the rythm the beat it just reminds if the days when life was so simple and good when we were small kids man I know exactly how you feel
This song I connect to Altzeimers Disease. I lost my grandmother to it in 2014, I am the full time caretaker to my aunt who is deep in the depths of the disease alongside my mother, who I am pretty sure will get it as well. I had to pause the song to write this because I can’t even see through my tears. The women on my mom’s side of the family have all died from Altzeimers in my lifetime and it terrifies me to imagine a day where my mother may no longer recognize me. My aunt who currently has it can’t recognize me sometimes and we were so close my whole life, I couldn’t imagine how much worse this will hurt if my mom does get this…
I love this song but it’s getting harder and harder for me to listen to…
❤❤❤
I'm sure even though in the front of their mind they can't recall a single memory, in the back is a chest full of gold that was their life. But they aren't looking for gold, they are looking love and that is what you are giving them 💞
No matter how hard it is, just remember that if it were you in their place, I'm sure you would like to be cared for that way.
Humans are one of the only species (or only?) that think of the past and the future.
I hope you get enough time to yourself xxx

Same. My mom's mom has dementia so after finding that out, this song hits different.
My interpretation of the lyrics (I think it's about a widow who just lost her husband) ~ I don't like walking around this old and empty house (The woman is lonely now that her husband's dead.)
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear (The husband tries to comfort her.)
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake (She can't sleep now that he "sleeps,” meaning he’s dead.)
It's the house telling you to close your eyes (Her husband tells her to get some sleep; she needs it.)
And some days I can't even dress myself (She’s grieving so much and is so sad, getting out of bed and going out is hard.)
It's killing me to see you this way (The husband doesn't want his wife to be this upset and sad, and is upset by this.)
'Cause though the truth may vary/This ship will carry our/Bodies safe to shore (Allusion to ship burials, like that of some Vikings and Scandinavians historically? I’m not sure about this one.)
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back (The widow wants to talk to her husband, but she’s afraid to, since he's dead, and thinks that it’s crazy to talk to him.)
Well tell her that I miss our little talks (The husband is telling her to talk to him anyway, since he can still hear her.)
Soon it will be over and buried with our past (The widow laments how quickly the world moves on, and how short life is.)
We used to play outside when we were young/And full of life and full of love. (He reminds her of good times and happy memories.)
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right (She feels bad about moving on, or remarrying, or getting rid of her his stuff, or doing things that might have annoyed him when he was alive, or that he didn’t approve of, etc...)
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear (He assures her that it's ok, and tells her she's getting worked up over nothing)
Don't listen to a word I say (The widow is sad and unreasonable in her grief, not her usual self, and thinks she’s going crazy, and so warns people not to take her seriously.)
The screams all sound the same (Not sure on this one either... possibly has to do with how sad news all sounds the same to her now? Or maybe people's advice, or opinions on the issue all sound the same? The widow is indifferent now? Not sure.)
You're gone, gone, gone away/I watched you disappear/All that's left is the ghost of you. (The widow laments her husband's death once more, and how she saw it happen.)
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart/There's nothing we can do (Both the widow and her husband lament their separation.)
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon (The husband tells his wife to just move on with her life, and tells her they'll meet again soon, in the afterlife.)
Now wait, wait, wait for me/Please hang around (The widow doesn't want him to leave.)
I'll see you when I fall asleep (She can still see him in her dreams, and they can see each other in the afterlife.)

Tears in my eyes after this... Thank you
When I saw the lyrics to this song I was really sad.. It reminded me of my grandfather... He has Alzheimer's disease... I barely got to know him.. He and the rest of my mother's side of the family live on almost the other side of America.. My younger sister never got to meet him before he was diagnosed.. He was taken care of my grandmother for years (he is still with us) but he has been transferred to a retirement-home-place.. This song is like how my whole family feels, and mostly how my grandmother feel while coping with this.. .... . .... But even so this is one of my new favorite songs and it's beautiful... It is a very bittersweet song...
sorry to hear that
Stay strong!

Am I the only one who thinks the Icelandic accent is just glorious to hear? :)
Thank you for creating such meaningful work.
Every time I listen to this song, I end up crying.
I feel these lyrics so close to me and my grandma.
My grandpa passed away in 2019 and we feel so lost without him.
He was my biggest supporter in my battle against my eating disorder and depression.
In these years, My grandma got worse and worse since he left us .
She struggles with her memory and littlest tasks . Just as the lyrics say.
And it hits me so deep because I can see this every day.
I dedicate this to her, I imagine her and my grandpa talking through this song🖤
there’s no song more perfect than this one.
571 people aren't happy it wasn't "shit will carry on"

My cousins introduced this song to me right before the pandemic. It reminds me of all the good times I had before the world, my world, changed forever.
😢
Best cousin ever
Играла в Beatstar и выбила эту песню...
Чёрт,это был ТАКОЙ УДАР!Такаая ностальгия!
Срочно пошла искать в ютубе и просто плакать😢
Прошло уже 9 лет,а я всё ещё не знаю перевода песни,но как я поняла, взрослые в моём детстве тоже не знали,потому что ставили её на дискотеки😂
Me: *thinks it's a happy song*
(Reads comments)
Me: :(
:( indeed
Yep! That's what I thought too. Apparently not...
Just stick with your interpretation then. I think it's equally valid- there's no official story according to the artists, right?
@@whiteraven181
It is explained:
Speaking with Interview Magazine, Hilmarsdóttir explained the song's meaning: "How we usually make our lyrics is, Raggi and I, sometimes we come up with stories or situations. That one is about a relationship. Sometimes we haven't wanted to give too much away. We like people to read their own things in the lyrics. I guess I could share it. It's about a couple and the husband passed away and it's from the conversation between the two of them. We don't know if she's going crazy or if someone's actually there. We've kind of been inspired by people that lived in my house. This old couple that lived there for 30 years. The woman passed away, so it was kind of different."
Literally me right now
Omg I listened this song everyday when I was a child, and I always thought this song was happy so I really liked this (I haven't known English, I am still learning) Now, when I saw the lyrics, this song is really touching my heart.
I understand you... It's so sad :c
Beautiful Stories your english still needs some work
Beautiful Stories I never knew this song before but it kept playing in supermarkets and now I finally found this song after like 500 years
Ild like this reply if it wasn't on 69 but it's such an awesome number x
I still thought it was a happy music, but I found its name and now I understand everything, great song...by the way I'm Spanish...
I really really appreciate how it goes right into the song. Unfortunately a lot of music videos decide to make it into a short film for no reason
U GUYS DONT UNDERSTAND IVE LITERALLY BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR YRSSS NO CAP
I'm glad you finally found it
Me too, I shazamed it yesterday when I was in the car of my girlfriend's parents. I said '' please silence, it's years I'm searching it ''
There’s this app called Shazam that helped me find it
me too for fuck sake
Or just ask Siri 'name this song' and let Siri listen to the song
Never knew this song has this side to it. It totally makes sense that it's a widow that misses her husband. I showed this to my mom(a recent widow) and she LOVES this song because of how true it is to her. What a great song.
... How heartbreaking. A song with lyrics to describe my loss of someone I loved and worked at helping, only to be pushed away due to his Schizophrenic paranoia. Thanks for loving me back that short time Naviano...
Im so so sorry i have that and now i realise how many people i have pushed away its so hard and literally impossible to get better without therapy and medication but thank you for trying to help them even though they pushed you away they still cared about you and felt sad to see you go
is that what they wrote it about.
I doubt that
you broke my heart im so sorry....i loss my girlfriend we got in an argument over the phone the last words were this her-If im bothering you so much then do I need to start loving someone else? Me- Whatever I dont give a fuck...I immedietly thought oh shit why did I say that...then she said "Fine BYE..annd hung up the phone I remember hearing the pain in her voice I knew she was crying.... The next morning I got a call from her brother and he said he needed to talk to me he started crying and I was saying what what happend whats wrong he said I dont know how to tell you I said then try and he said I cant Im afraid of how you will react (i was 3 and a half years clean and sober at the time working at my rehab as a assistant sober living manager and working in the floral department at ralphs) I said what are you talking about are you with michelle? put her on the phone he started crying and said he cant and I started crying and he said I found her dead this morning with a needle in her arm. that day changed my entire life not only did I loose her I lost myself and everything I had... you never know what you have until its gone be careful words can cut much deeper then a blade. I would do anything to have her back im dying to feel her touch and look into her eyes and see her smile and taste her lips and smell her hair...I will never get to do that again and nothing has got better since that day everything has gotten worse even when i tried to be positive and move forward. I hate myself and I hate my life now. I made a mistake and its all my fault I tried killing myself many times Ive been stabbed shot and even run over I cant die and im meant to spend my whole life on this planet suffering until the very last moment its truly a cruel punishment but its very suiting and I deserve it. my resolve has been to crush my ego and practice humility. I will never treat someone like that again and I will never get the chance to even if I wanted to because I will die sad and alone one day but not for a very long time its been 8 years but it feels like it happend yesterday...
I am honestly crying right now because of the context of this song
So many meanings behind this song. Nobody will ever know what it's truly about.
I'm a cold person but that song brought me to tears several times ... Unfulfillness and void are concepts I can't handle and that story is frightening And sad ...
MEANING OF THE SONG, READ!!So there's two point of view in the song's story, a wife and the ghost of her dead husband, still lingering inside the house (although she can't hear him cause he's just a spirit)
Wife:I don't like walking around this old and empty house
(because her husband is gone, the house feels cold and lonely)
Husband:So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
(He's telling her that she'll be with her so she don't have to be so lonely)
Wife:The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
(him being a ghost, making sounds. She can't sleep because she's being expectant of his presence)
Husband:It's the house telling you to close your eyes
(He's telling her that its not him (a lie), but the house telling her to sleep)
Wife: And some days I can't even dress myself
(In pain and incapable of doing anything cause then again, her husband is gone)
Husband: It's killing me to see you this way
(The husband is in pain seeing her wife being like this)
Both: Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
(Cause whatever comes in life, there would be a time where death comes and we shall be reunited in the afterlife)
Wife: There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
(her memories with her husband)
Husband: Well tell her that I miss our little talks
(him just missing her company too)
Wife: Soon it will be over and buried with our past
(She is saying that all of this memories will eventually be buried)
Husband: We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
(Husband at the state of nostalgia)
Wife: Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
(Her life being miserable)
Husband: Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
(him saying its all just in her head)
Wife: You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
(Her being miserable, and can still remember the good memories which she just can't let go)
Husband: Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
(the husband telling his wife that they're now separated, and there nothing they could do about it. He is also saying to let go of him so she could move on)
Wife: Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
DOUBLE MEANING!!
(Her wanting his husband's ghost to stay a little longer and they should see each other in her dreams)
or
(Her telling him to wait for her, and they shall reunite once she dies)
Amazing song, but tear breaking story T^T
+Rika Suyumoto but what about 'don't listen to the words I say, the screams all sound the same' ?
heyhajayathesingingisasgreatasthemusicasthewordsastheactioninthevideo
+Rika Suyumoto i had always that it was the husband cheating on the wife because of the stairs (also the husband denying everything). Then she says that sh had a old voice (doubt) that is keeping her awake. Then the husband says that he used to talk to her about the doubts before hand. Now comes the most controversial point: Although the truth may carry on,(PAUSE) SHIT will carry on. Now that can be another whole argument but i believe that the use the word SHIP to make it appropriate for little children singing this song. So back to my point i believe that this last sentence says that even tho they both believe that there side might be wrong (although the truth may bury this) that the world will still go on (shit will carry on) and finally (bar me safe to shore)=i hope that we will get out of this ok.
+mindninja101 its ship because its taking them to somewhere safe
+Morgan W but its all out of context. they way that they say ship does not make since it has a pause where it is not needed. "Although the truth may very this (pause) shit will carry on (pause) bar us safe to shore" not "although the truth may very this (pause) ship will carry our (why this pause?) bodies safe to shore. no reason for the pause, so that is why I believe that its shit not ship.
How is this song 12 years old? I was just on a highschool trip the other day hearing it for the first time. Just yesterday, I could swear!
The song was blasting out of the boxes of my classmates backpack. We were joking and having fun. It was a nice day. Life was good.
this song came out when i was 10. at the time, i loved it because it was happy. now i’m in my 20’s and the past few years have been really tough. recently i started hearing this song as a conversation between my current self (female voice) and my 10 year old self (male voice). i break down every time. it’s like my inner child is seeing me going through this and reminding me of who i was and that everything will be okay. but also showing me what i lost and that i’m never gonna be the same. i 1000% recommend listening to this song through this lense because it’s such a cathartic experience.
Deep 👊
i started listening to this a few years back when working on a story, and the more i listened to the lyrics, the more i connected them to my grandparents, my grandmother losing memory to dementia and my grandfather having to deal with it all. despite how sad and frustrating that struggle was, this song helps me know they'll be reunited one day.
and i think that's beautiful.
Their love for one another will reconnect them together. Sorry for your loss.
this song brings back good memories from 2013 :(
Imagine Dragons came out with a new album though so it's ok!
Georgia Wise ehhhh
+Georgia Wise Ngl I prefer their old one
Ikr
Same here... It brings me back happy memories :(

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Thank you!
Thx
You’re posting lyrics on a lyric video?
thanks uwu
Thanks for posting the lyrics, the ones in the video only show up after they've been said so it's much more helpful like this 👍
idk I always though it was about a guy and his wife had some sort of mental disease and she was just slowly losing it as he was trying to help her. so like when she said "there's an old voice in my head that's holding me back" and he responds with "well tell her that I miss our little talks" he's referring to last bit of her that's still sane. or "you're gone gone gone away, I watched you disappear" is her slowly fading into insanity, and therefore they're both disappearing from each other. it always made more sense in my head but it's just a theory.
Racello Fabulous Wow! your theory totally has sense, i would never think that
That’s just a theory... A GAME THEORY
sorry this actually makes a lot of sense
I never really thought about the lyrics when i was younger but i was playing it today and that's what i think, an old couple and the wife has Dementia. I was looking for comments to confirm but im seeing a bunch of different theories and i kind of hope they haven't said what its actually about
Thought that exactly! Also plus I think the girl became suicidal and the husband telling her "noo please "hang around", don't die yet"
I think its more so severe depression/anxiety as her mental illness. It would explain the nagging voice of herself, not wanting to take care/dress herself. Towards the end one of them prolly die, and the other would eventually meet them (seeing each other after "falling asleep"). The bodies safe to shore is probably an afterlife where both are finally happy. Good but depressing song
Why is nobody talking about how although the lyrics read into something rather sad, the duet between the two is still so powerful and it shows that everybody needs somebody to help see them through the dark.
this one is a better NOT edit vid of the same song ua-cam.com/video/ghb6eDopW8I/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
I sort of get that if I may I like too speak a tale. I had my heart broken and I was always left behind soon I saw myself growing bitter and anger. Many times I attempt to take my life failed each time then little by little I started to see my worth. When I see people on tik tok or place suffering I remind them they are not alone I remind them to be strong. Sometimes its hard to survive alone with a helping hand from time to time.
It might be a mistake for you to always assume that the masses will be as sharp as you. I'm training myself in this regard as well.
How is there not more here for 2024?
Song brought tears to my eyes
Same bro 😭
It took me eight years to figure out that it said “this *ship* will carry on”
I know right?? I thought it said sh*t lmaoo
Civicboy typer Haha same
I thought it said shit will kill you
i know right!?
it's "carry our" 😅
this song is one of those songs everybody loved when they were little but now are realizing the dark truth behind it and love it even more for the meaning
"when they where little" jeez make me feel old, I was 20 when this song came out.
Everybody loved you when you were little? Dark for sure...but do tell more ;p
*I remember working overnights and listening to this on the radio while on my way to work. It's amazing how music can really capture a moment and suspend it in time. Time sure does fly!* 🤘❤️
The part that always gets me is, "well tell her that I miss our little talks" and "I'll see you when I fall asleep"
It's like a deleted scene from the original video. :D
Am I the only one who never thought it was "shit will carry on"?
😂😂😂😂 it does sound like that!
when I was 11 I thought that
That's what I thought it was! I knew that couldn't be right, because why would it be on the radio otherwise? I really thought it went "the truth may buy me this, sh*t will carry on."
This is why singers need to ENUNCIATE.
me
sort of until you look at the lryics :)
hello from 2021, and i miss this song sooo bad 😩😭
My wife and I cared for her father in our home for the past 5 years. His funeral was yesterday. Gone, but the echoes are everywhere.
The echoes of his life with us are mostly happy ones. We aren’t in any hurry for them to disappear any time soon. That is what this song says to me, thanks for creating it!
What beautiful sentiments♥️ My mum is now 100 years old, & I've been caring for her for almost a decade. The last few years have been more difficult as she's permanently bed-bound but I wouldn't have it any other way. I do get some much-needed assistance for which I'm grateful. Your father-in-law was fortunate to have loving people to care for him - not all are so lucky. "The echoes of his life" is such a beautiful phrase. Our memories are always in our hearts. I will hold fast to all the times I've laughed & cried with my mum, & to all those "ordinary" moments like folding the laundry or walking the dogs. Wishing you & your wife peace & happiness for the future.

lol you sound like your 8
+TheSilent Dragon *You're
My husband and I used to sing this together all the time.. he died last year.. now this song hits different 😢
Sorry for your loss 😔🙏
I remeber randomly hearing this when I was 6 and I instantly fell in love with this song!
It's one of my favorite songs too! I just made a cover of it if you want to have a listen to it on my channel :)
As soon as the song played and i heard the music, i got goose bumps all over
Love seeing the different interpretations of the lyrics in the comments. The idea that one died fits strongly. And now that I've seen it? I think it fits perfectly. But my own interpretation was different. I always thought it was husband and wife struggling with the wife's depression, with their lines showing their different perspectives as he tries to help her through it.
For example,
W: "old and empty house" = her sense of isolation.
H: "hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear" = his effort to show her she isn't alone - to try and keep her moving.
W: "The stairs creak as I sleep/It's keeping me awake" = the insomnia depression can cause.
H: "It's the house telling you to close your eyes" = him comforting her
W: "And some days I can't even dress myself" = the lethargy and inability to get out of bed that depression (and, yes, grief) can cause.
H: "It's killing me to see you this way" = showing that it's not easy to deal with depression and, being on the outside, we can be at a loss for how to help.
On and on... E.g.,
W: "Here's an old voice in my head/That's holding me back" = lethargy, lack of energy, the sense of hopelessness
H: "Well, tell her that I miss our little talks" = him telling her that he's still there and longs for when she felt better. An idea that works with the next stanza, which can imply that her depression developed later in life, after their relation ship started.
In this interpretation, lines such as "Now we're torn, torn, torn apart/There's nothing we can do/Just let me go, we'll meet again soon" can be understood as the destructive effects that depression can have. The stress and strain it places on a relationship can destroy it.
And yet, when the voices come together with "Though the truth may vary/This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore" it shows that they're sticking together and hope remains. That they will get through it. For though the road may be long, though the way they see things (depressed/not-depressed) may vary, this ship (their relationship) will see them through.
Thats what i think too, except at the end the guy dies and so does she since i see them as an old couple
Makes sense honestly
Love
When my daughter was 4-5 me and her danced together to this song. She was (and still is) great. I never payed any attention to the lyrics.
In that time my wife got in a very hard and deep depression. She spend nearly 5 years in bed, almost died. She fought her way out of it and now she is the best mother ever and we are still together. Like I said I never paid any attention to the lyrics. I was a bit shocked and amazed to find out how well the lyrics fit in the situation we as a family was back then. It's like her and me speaking. She was going away and I was waiting for her and helping her. So I totally agree on your intepretations.
The line "Here's an old voice in my head, That's holding me back" that is her sane voice in her head, her true inner voice keeping her for going totally insane. He in reply is saying:"Well, tell her that I miss our little talks" The husband saying: I know that you are not you right now, behind your mental illness is the true you. One day she will rise agian and I will wait for her. But I miss her.
"just let me go, we'll meet again soon" means she is saying:"I am lost, I lost myself. Let me go, I'll fix this I need time, once I beat this mental illness you see my true self again and we are back together (feelings for eachother).
On your other intepretations of the lyrics you made, you were spot on. Indeed the ship is the relation.
this one is a better NOT edit vid of the same song ua-cam.com/video/ghb6eDopW8I/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
such a good song, brings back memories of winter 2014
I love this song. Made me think she had an imaginary friend but as she grew up she could no longer see him and questioned herself as to if he was ever really there. He told her he was, her mind playing tricks on her and they would see each other when she would fall asleep. Reminds of that movie, Drop Dead Fred. I love that movie.
the people with 700 dislikes had big talks
Haha
Its like 1k now tho so even morrrrre
that comment from your channel doesn't suprise me....cause I knew you had to do it to em
The screams all sound the same >:)
Lol

Sueycrazy PSYCHO lyrics.
Bro i never thought i would find this vid omg this ship was literally stuck in my head for like o years and i could not find out what memory it was. Glad i found my core memory 😊
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It reminds me of my life and how much everything has changed.
You're gone, gone, gone away,
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
there's nothing we can do,
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep...
That's heavy..

Benjamin Dinero at 3:06 too.
It’s crazy how the songs we heard when young (I’m in my mid 20’s) kinda help us out or speak a little for us when we reach a certain point later in life
Everyone talking about how this is so nostalgic, mean while there's me over here being a 12 year old and have no memory of listing to this song until it popped up in my recommendations like 4 weeks ago.
