Cash, Johnny - I See A Darkness Lyrics






Well, you're my friend and can you see,
Many times we've been out drinkin',
Many times we've shared our thoughts,
But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got?

Well, you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know.
And you know I have a drive to live, I won't let go.
But can you see this opposition comes rising up sometimes?
That it's dreadful imposition, comes blacking in my mind.

And that I see a darkness.
And that I see a darkness.
And that I see a darkness.
And that I see a darkness.

Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you,
Can save me from this darkness.

Well, I hope that someday, buddy, we have peace in our lives.
Together or apart, alone or with our wives.
And we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside.
And light it up forever and never go to sleep.
My best unbeaten brother, this isn't all I see.

Oh, no, I see a darkness.
Oh, no, I see a darkness.
Oh, no, I see a darkness.
Oh, no, I see a darkness.

Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you,
Can save me from this darkness.

    Well, you're my friend
    And can you see
    Many times we've been out drinking
    Many times we've shared our thoughts
    But did you ever, ever notice
    The kind of thoughts I got?
    Well, you know I have a love
    A love for everyone I know
    And you know I have a drive
    To live, I won't let go
    But can you see this opposition
    Comes rising up sometimes?
    That it's dreadful imposition
    Comes blacking in my mind
    And then I see a darkness
    And then I see a darkness
    And then I see a darkness
    And then I see a darkness
    Did you know how much I love you?
    Is a hope that somehow you
    Can save me from this darkness
    Well, I hope that someday, buddy
    We have peace in our lives
    Together or apart
    Alone or with our wives
    And we can stop our whoring
    And pull the smiles inside
    And light it up forever
    And never go to sleep
    My best unbeaten brother
    This isn't all I see
    Oh no, I see a darkness
    Oh no, I see a darkness
    Oh no, I see a darkness
    Oh no, I see a darkness
    Did you know how much I love you?
    Is a hope that somehow you
    Can save me from this darkness

  26. L.... Q....

    Eu já tive fé e achei que todos que me fizeram mau pagariam, não vi acontecer, seja bondoso, disseram, seja paciente disseram ele proverá mas quando eu pedi não uma ferrari, não um apartamento em miami, mas um mero emprego não para ganhar 10 mil, eu aceitaria trabalho por 700.000 ou por 800.000 ele não proveu! Então eu vos digo: Não tem nada "lá"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Eu percebi quando eu tava catando alumínio para vender!

  27. C.... S....

    I'm going to play
    Cash for the Inmates for breakfast tommorrow

  28. b.... ....

    In so many of his songs, I want to pull Cash aside, wrap an arm around him, and tell him it's going to be ok. Because I wish someone would do that to me. Damn he could cut to your melancholy like a surgeon

  29. A.... K....

    SLOW DOWN!!!!

  30. A.... K....

    it's too fast .... it's so quick .... if it was half the tempo it would be better ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  31. e.... l....

    just see the evil and the redemption, just jhony

  32. S.... ....

    During the height of my drug addiction, this was one of the few songs that kept me from killing myself. That and the fact that I pawned my gun for more crank.

  33. A.... W....

    If I didn’t love my pain I’d be dead by now. God can’t get me deployed fast enough

  34. H.... A....

    From walking dead I don't remember what season or episode either

  35. T.... C....

    This song sort of helped me cope with Depression. I cried many times to this song. I’m 25 now. I’m in a happier stage in life. I don’t beat myself up like I used to. Honestly, these are the best days. I’m very happy. Thank you, Johnny.

    T.... C....

    Johnny Cash! Oh my God, this man could reach the depth and tear your heart out!

  36. z.... ....

    I'm so alone.!!!
    ...

  37. O.... D....

    So deep fragile and powerful, this man is a king, full respect

  38. L.... A....

    Pobre AMLO <3 cantaba bien bonito ...

  39. J.... G....

    Imagine Lennon re-writing and fusing "God" and "Mother" into one grand soulful mournful song, then giving it to Johnny Cash for him to sing......

  40. S.... K....

    Give Will Oldham your respect
    like you do Johnny.

  41. J.... H....

    Cool as video.it jeremy 3.hillhayr.

  42. P.... B....

    This is the END ... I lost my FAITH ... I wish I could be between giving up and seeing how much more I can take :( but I'll just give up Friends ...

    P.... B....

  48. P.... P....

    In the lonely hours he is there for Those who lost someone... lost in every meaning of the word lost. Beautiful just beautiful

  49. K.... M....

    The concept tools of what creates an individual genius legend of music are no longer took forward..😴😴😴

    K.... M....

    The concept of Johnny Cash should strongly still be blended on and alive 🗣👤👥💎

  50. K.... ....

    I can't get enough of this song. Gets me right in the feels.

  51. A.... ....

    Thanks Rosalia😍

  52. C.... H....

    I've been listening to Johnny Cash all my life. 48 years. Keep finding new songs all the time. Also never really understood a lot of his songs until I got older.

  53. j.... r....

    I would have paid a fortune, to see Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain jam together.

    j.... r....

    I'M JEALOUS YOU/ вам повезло

  54. K.... O....

    Will Oldham wrote this song. My brother knows him---we took a tree down at his mom's house once. It is unbelievably stirring.

  55. D.... T....

    johnny cash is the best singer ever and will always be, he is the man in black, even his last words was memorable he said "i hear the train a-common"

  56. A.... D....

    herkese selam olsun:**

  57. J.... D....

  61. I.... S....

    16 years ago Johnny left us all!
    R.I.P

  62. S.... Z....

    Love this Song

  63. R.... C....

    When Johnny cash covers a song he makes it his own this song is terribly sad but bloody good

  64. M.... R....

    this is a hard listen if you’ve heard the original

    some songs are not meant to be covered

  65. C.... ....

    Damn Johnny, I can't go on this ride with you I know where it ends. Still love Cash though.

  66. G.... N....

    Lucky brought me here. Be mine

  67. a.... b....

    this would work as a metal/hard rock song

    a.... b....

    singing it with a megaphone

  68. M.... H....

    But you never did save me, did you?? And I found my home here in the darkness

  69. B.... G....

    My brother just left for another country for the first time and I'm feeling like listening to this song.. Miss you bro

  70. C.... R....

    My friend, my best friend is very sick , there's no more hope now. When i hear this song i think it was written for us...

  71. j.... s....

    I need to die.

  72. M.... M....

  77. F.... ....

    Ain't too many songs that can reach out and touch you like one by Johnny.

  78. K.... 6....

    Many times we've been out drinking  …………….

  79. L.... B....

    Probably a Lovely song for any bipolar artists {respectfully} I literally carry off darkness on my back in kanji tattoo form {at least} but Nirvana in kanji on my arm/muscle/strength

  80. N.... C....

    garbage compared to the original

  81. m.... i....

    His faith gave him this ability to see the darkness.

  82. G.... H....

    Funny how a good song from what I presume to be a good dude can get idiots fighting over its meaning. It means how it makes you feel yes buts all what he felt.

  83. �.... (....

    I couldn't save my best friend from the darkness. He's gone - wasted himself almost a decade ago now and I still miss him. The worst part about someone close to you dying isn't the shock or even the regret. It's the missing... it becomes so bad it just makes your heart hurt.

  84. M.... S....

    It's said that very creative people are the most creative when they are in depression pits...Johnny Cash is a primary example of that.

  85. M.... G....

    Johnny was great until he caught the religion disease

  86. R.... R....

    It's well worth your time seeking out Will Oldham's music

  87. y.... ....

    The more I hear Johnny Cash the more I understand the rough world.

  88. p.... ....

    This is me, talking to my brother...

  89. T.... B....

    I know as a human that we're all going through a really shitty time in history, but when you need a shoulder to lean on Johnny Cash is always there for you. I really think all people should maybe look in to older music, and not just say that it's bad sounding. Especially when we all know that most older music has a deeper meaning, and that it's not just some thing you dance to at a party.

  90. M.... ....

    great, now I'm depressed...
    Excuse me while I go hug all of my friends...

  91. d.... N....

    Troublesome tune ..means so much to a musician...feelings are everything in this life ..maybe the next. Who knows..?

  92. M.... M....

    You sure do

  93. I.... A....

    Everyone expexts me to be happy.. No one wants to see me sad.. They always want me to make them laugh. And.. Well I do.. I hide my sadness away from people.. I cant talk to anyone about my feelings because they dont notice that I have problems.. Big problems.. I cry at night knowing no one can help me in my situation ... .. So I wake up everyday.. With a smile on my face... Not allowing to feel sad.. Mad... Everyone excepts so much of me... Everyone wants whats best for me... And i dont even know what I want.. I dont know if I can ever be actually happy.. I laugh and smile everyday... And at night.. Is the only time I can be sad....... I guess this song helps me coup with that....

  94. A.... K....

    Lucky movie brought me here. The way song played in the movie I couldn't get it off from my mind. What a heartbreaking song!

    A.... K....

    ungatz! you are nothing :)

  95. W.... S....

    So proud to live at a time when there was a Johnny Cash !
