Teksi Kematian Untuk Si Comel (Death Cab for Cutie)

Cerita ini berlaku 2 malam yang lalu, kalau tak silap. Berkisarkan kehidupan aku yang separa tenang dan ingin mendengar lagu. Aku tengok status seseorang meletakkan lagu kegemaran dia bertajuk 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' dari band yang aku kenal kerana sebuah lagu. Itupun lagu baru tahun ini, rupanya band ini sudah menempah lama sebagai band indie!

Ah, buat apa aku ingin menerangkan latar belakang band ini. Bukan royalti dapat kalau aku promosikan album mereka. Tapi ada satu lagi yang ber'jiwa' yang bakal masuk senarai 'Kena Masuk Ipod'. Senarai ini aku buat apabila muncul lagu-lagu yang membuatkan aku mendengar berulang-ulang kali dan mengkhayalkan (high). Memang lagu mengkhayalkan.

Dan sedihnya, lagu ini dari tahun-tahun sudah.

Death Cab for Cutie
(Teksi Kematian untuk Si Comel)

I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine
Someday you will die
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 both are satisfied
And illuminate the "no"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In catholic school
As vicious as roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me "Son,
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "no"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "no"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
