No Death Only Rebirth

[@watchmakingman9342]

What a genius music video. The imagery of the tiny hole (Idea of death) growing from the minuscule thing we never think of as a child. Gradually growing larger and larger to when it's unavoidable later in life. Then the reality that maybe it's nothing to be scared of or worried about.

[@The_Khuzdul1]

Not to mention the hole is foreshadowed at the beginning of the video with thr shot from inside the guitar. Maybe to represent birth, coming into light as opposed to moving away from it

[@sammgualberto]

I can't believe it's been 15 years. I still remember being a young teenager, headphones in ears...crying listening to everything death cab. Now I'm double the age, still crying.

[@goobles64]

Man I love death cab and their songs, wonderful music but this really isn't good for us. The music is dark

[@breonna3658]

I first listened to this song when I was about 15 years old... 32 now and I still love it the same. Beautifully written. All of death cabs songs are! Thank you for being there for me through the different chapters of my journey.

[@GhettoBagel]

I used to think it was really really sad, but now that I'm older, a little wiser, and have someone whom I love with all of my heart, I see it as a dark but really sweet and comforting song. I really would and _will_ follow her into the afterlife, no matter what it is. Whether it's heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing at all, I'll be at her side for it.

[@filipinagirl7393]

i felt a love as deep as what this song portrays, to someone i connected with the most in my life.. only for him to cheat. now, i don't know where that exact love goes.. maybe it just goes..

[@zedzeduk]

@@filipinagirl7393 I'm not religious, but I firmly believe in the passage "Love is patient, Love is kind", which contains "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth". Your man could not be honest with you (he cheated), so his love for you was not as yours was for him. The man you loved wasn't actually the man himself, but a better man that who he could be. It's so sad that he was not worthy of the love you had for him, but so it goes. You will, in time, find another that does, and realise that above all else in a relationship - there must be "truth". I hope you are ok.

[@james-nw9up]

Everybody dies and whether you believe in an afterlife or not you still wish to be reunited with someone you've lost when the time comes at least

[@bradleynicholson7404]

The lyrics are something that will let your mind to all the way into your heart and deepest soul...love is amazing

[@Whiteplumee]

I lost my best friend last October and I’m still struggling with this loss, but I know the amount of pain that one person can make by cutting their life short. I still feel so empty without them. It’s not like every day is bad, but there’s moments of light when I remember them and I can’t help but to cry because I wish they were still here. You were an amazing musician, singer, and artist. I never understood why you never reached out when you knew I would be there for you without any judgement. I miss you so much, and wish we could’ve gone through this life together.

[@PhilippBrad]

​@Whiteplumthats my old account, and I haven't listened to to this song since I wrote that. Shit sucks man, I hope it doesn't continue for you, I hope everything gets better for you man. It seems like I been floating over and just watching myself on autopilot for 15 years or so now

Good God, has it really been this long? My daughter really loved this band and she saw them twice before she got cancer. This was one band that helped carry her through the treatments along with a local radio station. Her fiance sent a letter to the band letting them know how important they were to my daughter during this. To this day I still am not allowed to play this CD around my daughter's fiance. And I still cry hearing certain songs because i miss her every single day. But hey, For Aletha's sake Stay Beautiful.

[@zeldahasastory8648]

I sing this to my daughter all the time. She's five. She has cerebral palsy. She was born very very early and she and I both passed away during birth. It was very traumatic but we both survived. She's now a healthy vibrant little thing, fighting the good fight as we diligently try to help her learn to walk and live the best possible life. She is such a bright happy white light and what can sometimes be a very dark situation and pulls both of her parents through everyday. She loves to hear me sing this song. She can't fully talk yet but she sure can hold a note. This might be one of her favorite songs that her mama sings. Children with cerebral palsy don't have a very long life expectancy. When she decides it's time for her to go, I'll be right there with her. 💜

I've been singing this to my son since he was 1 year old and he dis now 5 years old. This and Tiny Dancer by Elton John are 2 songs that I sung to him all the time when he was just a little baby. For some reason they both reminded me of mine and his relationship.

Now my best friend has 6 months or less to live and I can't do anything to help her. The fact that I lost my father and now im losing my best friend is the hardest thing right now.

As sad as it sounds, I was introduced to this song by a girl from Canada that I never met in person. We met somewhere around 2001 on MSN chat and talked for hours a day for years and one night on video chat she just started singing, it hit me on a deep level. That was well over a decade ago and it's just stuck with me like a bad habit. Sadly we grew up and drifted apart.

Sitting next to my exwife (I love her so much, but we let life get in the way) she is slowly moving on to her next destination in this journey. The pain from the cancer treatments were too much and she decided that she had had enough. I played this song for her, I held her hand and kissed her.

You are better off without her sir get what you deserve. Any women that left when you got cancer isn’t cool. I know you had a lot of memories I’m sure but you deserve better.

[@Persewna4]

​@@TheHappys you're making some wild assumptions here. The way I read his comment is that his exwife is/was the one with cancer, her treatments were too painful so she elected to stop the treatments and move on to the next step in the journey of life, and that OP was by her side because he loves and cares for her still. I recognize where you came to your conclusion, the wording is subject to interpretation, however let's not by hasty in disparaging the character of a person you do not know and that another person has already stated they care for.

It sucks but I'm glad she loves me and we can share music like this that we grew up on and really cherish it together.

I lost my wife 8 years ago. Last year I dated a woman who ended up breaking up with me, partly because her whole existence has become avoiding the grief of losing her sister and mother within a year of each other 25 years ago. If you don’t do grief, the whole only gets bigger. Eventually you are forced to walk into it. Love this song.

My bf and I would send this song to each other when we were younger and feeling hopeless. He was 9 hrs away and never met him in person until Christmas of 2021. This is now our official song

[@brandengill1405]

So I'm an alcoholic, and the first time I tried to get sober a couple years ago, I basically, in a nutshell, hallucinated that a ghost more or less was trying to kill me and make me it's friend forever. Crazy I know, but I would hear this song being played somewhere outside in the distance, and when I would walk through my yard, the sound would change direction, but the song would play on repeat for hours on end, (all while dealing with this "ghost") and I swear I had never heard this song before. I googled the lyrics and here I am. I still swear that I've never heard this song before then. I'm a year sober now and this song still scares the shit out of me

[@archdevil7472]

This song is as old as me. I've been told it's what my dad listened to driving my mom to the hospital. It's helped me through so much. I'm glad I get to grow with it, side by side

[@JNava]

I always thought this music video was about depression, that hole represents the emptiness you feel when you’re depressed, starts off small & it continues to grow. & as it grows bigger & bigger every day you learn to move your way around it & ignore it as best you can without falling into that hole. That’s why at the end he just lets himself fall & when he realizes it’s not that deep of a whole he comes to an understanding that death is not as bad, so he sinks deeper & dies or commits suicide. That’s why you don’t see the hole or him at the end of the video because there was never a hole, there was just his depression. The singer did say the song was about loosing a loved one & coming to the realization that we’re all going to die someday, maybe he just lost somebody & is depressed? ...Either that or the guy has a really bad termite problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gisselleramos331]

Yes, I believe the hole represents his grief over losing a loved one.

[@debbyw90]

she “ripped a hole” into his life by passing away...in the end he wants to follow her, i think that’s what the hole represents...her passing

[@davekerwin2579]

I think of my partner of 25 years every time I hear this song. I would absolutely follow her into the dark, no questions asked.

[@painhaver2207]

It’s comforting in a way to find that a lot of other people come to this song when losing a loved one. This is one of the few songs I can play on guitar, and I play it every time a loved one passes. Today I’m playing for my beloved Margot, rest easy sweetheart I’ll always cherish our time together and forever love you.

[@Sarahbellum627]

I lost a friend to the Club Q shooting last week. At a vigil at one of the clubs here in town, someone sang the song, but I wasn't really paying attention to the words until I just listened to it. And it brought tears to my eyes again, just like a week ago when I found out that he was no longer with us. I will miss you Derrick for the rest of my life.

[@abbygaleforcewind]

Oh my goodness I am so sorry for your loss.

[@hi.1095]

i always thought that the song is about surrender and total acceptance to an inevitable truth that we're all gonna die someday. the acceptance that your loved ones will die someday. and the fact that he is willing to be part of the pain and the suffering when they're gone is both painful and beautiful at the same time.

[@matt-oo6fu]

I remember hearing this song for the first time on the radio and absolutely bawling my eyes out. I've had a severe and omnipresent fear of death since I was a child (unprompted by any event-- I just suddenly realized i would die and it has consumed my life since then), and this song was so soft and sweet and unafraid. It still brings a tear to my eye. I hope someday I can have this kind of comfort, and someone I love so much that I won't be afraid to join them when the time comes.

[@JahWontPayTheBill]

Get some help with that. It’s no way to live. What’s the point of life if you’re constantly consumed with the thought that you’re gonna die one day? We all die. It’s unavoidable. It’s also nothing to be afraid of. Most people that grow old are far more accepting of that fact. Some even long for the release. I’d like to believe that when I’m old as dirt and am on my way out I won’t be afraid. I’ll be ready to go. I’ll have lived my life, raised my children and accomplished what I wanted. What more could a person desire? I’ve always thought death will be a lot like it was before I was born. The absence of everything. No consciousness, no feelings, no thoughts, nothing. You wouldn’t even be aware of it. It’s really nothing to be scared of. You won’t have the ability to be afraid of it. So why let it control your life? I assume you’re young. Deal with your fear now so you can enjoy what time you have left. I’d bet if you do you’ll be ready and willing to go when your time comes.

[@matt-oo6fu]

@@JahWontPayTheBill that's a lot of wasted words (all of which i've either heard before or thought of myself at least a thousand times) all to add up to the ultimate stupid asshole advice: "lol just get over it!!!!!!!" I'm 26. This started when I was 7. stop for a single second, pull yourself out of your little savior-complexed ass and think about that. Nearly 20 years of constant awareness of your mortality. for nearly 20 years, you go to bed every single night and think "Another day is gone that I will never get back. I'm another day closer now." And just try to imagine nothingness. Can you? Can you really? Can you imagine not existing? Everything just being gone, forever, and none of it mattered? Can you honestly say it doesn't scare you at all? I've been to therapy. I've been to church. I've meditated. I've worked around dead and dying things. I've done just about everything that I've ever heard anyone say helped them "come to terms" with morality, and it's all been bullshit. But sure, Genius Stranger On The Internet. I'll just Get Over It because you said so.

It is hard to find out and not have had a chance to be there. I could not see her immediately after for this reason. I knew I could not walk back out of the room with her. I have a younger daughter. I had to stay strong for her. It is incredibly hard. I sit alone all of the time thinking of her. They both need me and I can only be with one.
