Vanishing
Vanishing Echoes: Embracing Disappearance in a World of Unseen Melodies
Lyrics
all of the notes sound the same
All musical notes sound identical.
is it a song if i don’t relate?
Is a piece of music meaningful if I can't relate to it?
if i feel at home anywhere that i am
If I feel comfortable anywhere, do I truly exist, or am I disappearing?
am i even here am i vanishing?
Questioning existence and the possibility of vanishing.
like a feeling that won’t go away
Reference to an enduring emotion or situation.
i cling to the past and slander the change
Clings to the past and resists change.
cos baby it’s over, you just have to start from the end
Acceptance of a relationship ending, advising to start anew.
and then goin baby
A transition or departure, possibly from the relationship.
all of the places that we’ll never see
Places never explored, missed opportunities.
you have to go crazy to hang around while they’re disappearing
Suggests the need for madness to endure the disappearing world.
into thin air
People disappearing mysteriously.
i’m different than anyone else
Emphasizing uniqueness compared to others.
that’s how you know i don’t know myself
Claiming a lack of self-awareness.
if i nod along everything that you say
Agreement with others, potentially losing individuality.
then are you alone? am i vanishing?
Questioning if agreement leads to loneliness and vanishing.
like a loser before we begin playing the games nobody wins
Preventing oneself from participating in unwinnable games.
cos maybe they’re over
Possibly acknowledging the end of certain things.
you just have to start from the end
Encouraging a fresh start by beginning from the end.
and then if you make it
If you make it through challenges, someone notices you.
somebody moves you enough you appear
A connection forms when someone is moved by you.
you have to be crazy to hang around while we all disappear
Suggests the need for madness to endure collective disappearance.
into thin air
People collectively vanishing without a trace.
ohh like a dream that you lose in the light
Losing a dream in the harsh light of reality.
go on open up babe, yeah it’s only the night
Encouragement to embrace the night and its mysteries.
where i toss and i turn in my sleep
Restless sleep filled with elusive truths.
a vanishing truth that i’ll never reach
A truth that is fading away and may never be realized.
is looking me over from somewhere that i’ll never be
Observation of an unattainable reality from a distance.
and now if i make it
If success is achieved, people acknowledge and sing to you.
all of the people are singing to me
The crowd recognizes the individual's achievement.
you have to be crazy hanging around while we’re disappearing
Madness required to endure a disappearing world together.
into thin air
Collective disappearance into the unknown.
i’m vanishing here
A personal experience of vanishing.
come on baby vanish with me
Invitation to someone to disappear together.
vanish with me
Reiteration of the invitation to vanish together.
