Matthew And The Atlas - Out Of The Darkness Lyrics






I saw you in my mind when I was younger
And I grew older, and I saw you still
You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
When I was weary, trouble would come
In my last defense you tried to warn me
I did not know you, you were a demon to me
Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me
It grew around me, then you would appear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
I did not see you, you did not appear
And between the years, I might have come to know you
But I don't own you, that much is clear

Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see
Deep below the earth I might have found you
High above the tower I could not see

I was afraid someday you'd return
Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
The flutter of fortune or a bringer of gloom
Out of the darkness and into my room

  1. O.... K....

    I can't decide if this song represents Elijah Mikaelson and his inner demons, or Elijah and Klaus...or is it the same thing?

    This song has a real way of making you feel optimistic for the unknown.

    I saw you in my mind when I was younger
    And I grew older, and I saw you still
    You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
    When I was weary, trouble would come
    In my last defense you tried to warn me
    I did not know you, you were a demon to me
    Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me
    It grew around me, then you would appear

    [Chorus]
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see

    [Verse 2]
    I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
    I did not see you, you did not appear
    And between the years, I might have come to know you
    But I don't own you, that much is clear

    [Chorus]
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see

    [Bridge]
    I was afraid someday you'd return
    Unchanged at my door as you'd once been before
    The flutter of fortune or a bringer of gloom
    Out of the darkness and into my room

    I saw you in my mind when I was younger
    And I grew older and I say you still
    You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder
    When I was weary, trouble gone

    In my last defense you tried to warn me
    I did not know you, you were a daemon to me
    Your presence, it was a fear that lived inside me
    It grew around me then you would appear

    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see

    I was dead and I was dying at your doorway
    I did not see, you did not appear
    And between the years, I might have come to know you
    But I don't own, that much is clear

    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see
    Deep below the earth I might have found you
    High above the tower I could not see

    I was afraid someday you'd return
    And changed at my door as you'd once been before
    The flutter of fortune, the bringer of gloom
    Out of the darkness and into my room

    T.... E....

    I saw you in my mind when I was younger, and I grew older. And I saw you still. You'd stay close to me sometimes behind my shoulder, when I was weary, troubled (gone?)
    In my last defense you tried to warn me, I did not know you, you were a demon to me. Your presence it was a fear that lived inside me, it grew around me, and you would appear.
    Deep below the Earth I might have found you. High above the tower could see, deep below the Earth, I might have found you. High above the tower I could not see.
    I was dead and I was dying at your doorway, I did not see you, you did not appear. In between the years I might have come to know you, but I don't own (know?) you, that much is clear.
    Deep below the Earth I might have found you. High above the tower I could not see. Deep below the earth I might have found you. High above the tower I could not see.
    I was afraid some day you would return. Unchanged at my door you watched me in before. Sweater(?) of fortune and the bringer of

    T.... E....

    Fear. Out of the darkness and into (something)
    I was afraid some day you'd return, unchanged in my door you watched me in before. The (sweater???) of fortune, the bringer of fear, out of the darkness....

    Some of the lyrics are probably wrong because I just wrote them down as I heard them. Sorry. :)

    T.... E....

    Thank you very much

  47. I.... ....

    Where can I buy this (other than the vinyl album on their website). It doesn't appear to be available on iTunes in the US. =(

  48. j.... ....

    HANNIGRAM<3!

    j.... ....

    Your username, icon and comment rule so hard.

  49. S.... M....

    I have only just discovered this group. I was listening to ryan adams and this random playlist of quiet sad/indie folk came up, curious, I clicked on it, no regrets

  50. J.... B....

    Blood line brought me here

    J.... B....

    Jack Blades duhh

  51. E.... L....

    excellent song. got me through some long drives home

  52. n.... a....

    it reminds me about jonbenet ramsey

  53. T.... M....

    Sublime

  54. a.... ....

    What is the meaning of this song? sounds like anxiety or depression conquering song

    a.... ....

    Yes I translated it to mean depression, it makes me cry but still love the song !

  55. E.... ....

    one word: Hannibal

  56. D.... G....

    I found this song after listening to a list of Brianna Lea Pruett songs. I thought this might have something to do with her as it followed hers. I love this song! . One of most wonderful songs I have found in a while. Maybe Brianna sent it to me from above,. Or maybe my angel bride Brenda sent it to me. She passed away almost a year ago. Brianna in Sept. No matter. Wonderful.

  57. C.... S....

    Came from Netflix "Bloodline" Season 1 Episode 5. Just a few words of the lyrics, and a few chords and I had to find this song. Thanks for posting!

    C.... S....

    exactly!! I was hooked the first few cords!

  58. N.... ....

  59. T.... S....

    Dzięki Randall :)

  60. C.... ....

    ......... still not over the series finale, never gonna get over it
    #HannigramForever

    R.... W....

    +Rita Winchester Glad I'm not the only one here because of Hannibal. :)
    I heard this in a Hannigram vid and was like "oh my God, this is perfect for them!"
    And yeah... never gonna be over the series finale. So beautiful, but it hurts so much. :'(
