Disappearing Girl
Chasing Shadows: The Tale of a Disappearing Romance
Lyrics
Knock knock knock
Initiating a rhythmic knocking sound.
My friends at the door
Referring to friends arriving at the door.
Grab a board
Suggesting to get a skateboard or similar equipment.
Some tunes
Preparing to play some music.
We can blast some Sonic Youth Cotton candy skies over our heads Grass starts to itch
Imagining a scene with colorful skies, grass, and a romantic moment.
Boy and girl kiss
Describing a romantic kiss between a boy and girl.
Can't get your love out of my head Picnic in the park with my friends All I want is you inside my head Eyes so vain with the tangled curls
Expressing the lingering thoughts of love.
Look out here she comes the disappearing girl Hopped in the red mustang
Introducing the theme of a girl who appears and disappears.
Not a care in the world
Describing carefree behavior with a red mustang.
One kiss was all he wanted
Desiring a kiss that the girl doesn't want.
But that wasn't in her world
Highlighting the disparity in their worlds.
He just wanted soft hands to hold him tight
Expressing the boy's desire for affection.
Even if it was just for the night yeah
Acknowledging a brief connection for the night.
He's got cool friends and he's got nice things
Listing the boy's possessions and social status.
But he said it don't mean shit if your not here with me Woah oh oh
Stating that these things are meaningless without the girl.
It was just a dream it was just a dream
Realizing that the romantic scenario was just a dream.
Woah oh oh
Emphasizing the dream-like, unreal nature of the experience.
It was make believe it was make believe
Acknowledging the make-believe aspect of the dream.
Legs intertwined in silky sheets
Describing an intimate moment with intertwined legs.
We danced we laughed sun starts to set
Recollecting dancing and laughter as the sun sets.
Hands touched our lips about to meet
Anticipating a kiss with hands approaching lips.
Eyes so vain with the tangled curls
Repeating the description of the girl's eyes and curls.
Look out here she comes the disappearing girl Hopped in the red mustang
Reiterating the theme of the disappearing girl in a red mustang.
Not a care in the world
Recalling the carefree nature of the girl.
One kiss was all he wanted
Repeating the desire for a kiss not reciprocated.
But that wasn't in her world
Reaffirming the difference in their worlds.
He just wanted soft hands to hold him tight
Restating the desire for affection.
Even if it was just for the night yeah
Affirming the temporary nature of the connection.
He's got cool friends and he's got nice things
Listing the boy's social attributes and possessions again.
But he said it don't mean shit if your not here with me Woah oh oh
Reiterating the insignificance of these things without the girl.
Woah oh oh
Repeating a vocalization, possibly expressing emotion.
Woah oh oh
Repeating a vocalization for emphasis.
Eyes so vain with the tangled curls
Repeating the description of the girl's eyes and curls.
Look out here she comes the disappearing girl Hopped in the red mustang
Reiterating the theme of the disappearing girl in a red mustang.
Not a care in the world
Recalling the carefree nature of the girl.
One kiss was all he wanted
Repeating the desire for a kiss not reciprocated.
But that wasn't in her world
Reaffirming the difference in their worlds.
He just wanted soft hands to hold him tight
Restating the desire for affection.
Even if it was just for the night yeah
Affirming the temporary nature of the connection.
He's got cool friends and he's got nice things
Listing the boy's social attributes and possessions again.
But he said it don't mean shit if your not here with me
Reiterating the insignificance of these things without the girl.
