Disappear
Vanishing Echoes: Porcupine Tree's Haunting Tale of Disappearance
Lyrics
We made the world believe we didn't care
We projected an image that we were indifferent to the world's perception.
We gate crashed parties and just stood and stared
We attended events uninvited, merely observing without active participation.
We moved to London and stayed in all year
We relocated to London and chose seclusion, avoiding social interactions throughout the year.
You wrote poetry while I disappeared
You focused on creating poetry while I withdrew from visibility or notice.
You made a choice for us to live it up
You decided for us to enjoy life to the fullest.
I've got a voice inside me saying give it up
I have an inner voice advising me to abandon this lifestyle.
Let's get out of here, let's find a new career
Suggesting we leave our current situation and pursue a different profession.
You be famous, I'll disappear
You strive for fame, while I choose to fade into obscurity.
I erase myself again
I intentionally remove myself from the picture once again.
I erase myself again
I repeat the act of self-erasure.
I erase myself again
Continuing the pattern of eliminating my presence.
I need security, you favour chance
I seek stability and assurance, contrasting with your preference for taking chances.
I ponder everything while you advance
While you move forward, I contemplate everything deeply.
You bring the world to me and I just sneer
You bring the world to me, but I respond with disdain.
In your shadow I disappear
In your influence or dominance, I become invisible.
I erase myself again
Once again, I deliberately remove my own existence.
I erase myself again
Repeating the action of self-erasure once more.
I erase myself again
Continuing the pattern of intentionally disappearing from view.
