Let's grow old together, and die at the same time. Such a powerful line. Not only because it is the ultimate thing to say to a significant other. It also signifies the fear of losing someone. You want to spend your life with someone, but only if you die at the same time. So you dont experience the loss of that person.
You're right. How is it possible that only by listening man can recognize if it's a British or an American rock band? I can hear the differences, but I can't name it. Someone to help me? 😊
i totally agree...one of the many reasons i love this band so much...if you would like to we could chat about music someday...i wish you all the good and all the blessings...maybe till next time...
"Let's grow old together and die at the same time" one of the most romantic phrases IMO. If someone says that to you, wow that's another level altogether. It's more like a deep soul connection and not the superficial crap we are being fed most of the time. Still sounds great in 2018!
When I was dating my ex a lot of bad shit happened. Stuff that created the foundation for my PTSD diagnosis. This was a song she introduced to me and I listened to it a lot when my heart was hurting from her abuse. I couldn't listen to it after we broke up, simply because I knew it would trigger flashbacks which were quite regularly after we broke up. It wasn't until I looked her up about 2 and a half years later that I realized she's just a loser now who latches onto someone new when she gets bored, which made me feel shit in a way but I felt empowered by the fact that I was free from her now. It's like a weight fell off me and I could breathe without her in the shadows of my thoughts. I decided to listen to this song to see how far I'd gotten, like a test. I felt many things, as you can imagine. That lyric "to lose my life or lose my love", it felt like it was talking about the fact that during the relationship I had to choose between living my life or losing her cos I kept getting ultimatums, that realization hit hard. But I eventually fell in love with it, a song I listen to regularly as a reminder of my strength and growth. It's now my favourite song of all time.
@@peterkoppanyi133 That's the thing, I'm the one with BPD. She was there when I got diagnosed, she knew the symptoms and thus my weaknesses what strings to pull. She's just a twisted, cruel person. I get that she had bad experiences in previous relationships but that's no excuse to treat others the same way in return. I fought and fought to make things right, but she just negelected my mental health in favour for torturing me.
@@peterkoppanyi133Thanks, dude. Your kindness is appreciated. I'm in a much better place now, at least in terms of that part of my life. Endure and survive
Dark, epic and intense. The ambiguity in the lyrical meaning, does he mean abandonment of god or a male partner, gives depth and intelligence to a music scene that badly needs some. I love the image of a soul soaring above the trees it makes me yearn for the otherworld. Thank god for this band.
When I hear this song, it takes me back to being a young soldier stationed in Italy (who had survived a 15mo combat tour), driving my pos dodge like a stolen rally car to go pick up my then-fiancee. To be young, reckless and invincible again.
@Deacon Lmao nah. Most likely U.S. Army during the War in Afghanistan. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is in Italy and has fought viciously in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
Nobody needs to know if you're still listening, or in what year, or if you believe this band/song is underrated. You're just here because you like the song, and we can leave it at that.
Heard this song when it just came out in the US. We were on tour in California and radio stations plugged this one. We did not know White Lies, but everytime it came on radio in the van whilst driving we were like 'hell yeah' That chorus speaks volumes of experiences to come....
Kiedyś słysząc to w radiu, nie spodziewałam się, że za 2 lata stanie się moją najukochańszą piosenką na świecia, a White Lies zespołem, na którego punkcie zwariuję. Kocham ich straasznie! Oni są dla mnie jak powietrze, kocham, kocham i jeszcze raz kocham
USMCLP think it’s probably the Smiths lyric: ‘and if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine” That might help drive some of that connection
This song was suck in my head for so long now. 8 years maybe more, I couldn't remember the lyrics, anything.... and just like that today I stumble upon my ipod touch from 2007 and sure enough this was in the favorite section. Damn did it take me back to memory lane holding the ipod and hearing this. Cheers!
Oh man. I thought that was what it really was. I was staring at your comment trying to hear what the lyric actually is and I went and looked it up. Now I feel silly.
@@karlbasel Karl, Tottenham Hotspur sucks. Liverpool F.C. is where it's at baby! Just kidding. Congratulations on the win over Crvena Zvezda today. In the group b stage of European Champions League match. 4-0 is a great full time shutout result.
Dave Mustaine I first saw them live at kerrang in 2006 and they were amazing :D best night of my life was seeing them for my birthday at Wolverhampton civic in 2012
Dónde están los comentarios en español? Me había olvidado lo poderosa que es esta canción. Ufff fan de esta canción desde el primer momento que la escuché en Mtv (cuando era cool)
He said to lose my life or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was always careless as a child And there's a part of me that still believes My soul will soar above the trees But a desperate fear flows through my blood That our dead love's buried beneath the mud Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time I said I've got no time, I have to go And I was more right than now I'll ever know He said my heart is faint, will minds regret? And left him crying next to the chapel's steps Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time He said, "Let's grow old together And die at the same time" "Let's grow old together And die at the same time", he said He said to lose my life or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while (let's grow old together) I was careless as a child (and die at the same time) There's a part of me that still believes (let's grow old together) My soul will soar above the trees (and die at the same time) A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together) Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time) A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together) Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time)
