"See you in the darkness"

The quote "See you in the darkness" by Gary Gilmore is an extremely threatening and foreboding statement that speaks with the inevitability of death. Gilmore himself was a founded guilty murderer who had been sentenced to death for his crimes, and therefore it is most likely that he was utilizing this declaration to refer to the fact that he would soon be facing his own death. However, the expression can also be analyzed more broadly to describe the idea that we all eventually should deal with death, which no matter how much we try to avoid it or deny it, the darkness is constantly waiting for us in the end.
