Vanished
Crystal Castles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

In the dark , We come out and play
We are its children, And were here to stay
Running through , Hungry for strays
No invitation, take me away
I'm not cruel, But that's still what you see
Club to club, Come see this city with me
Hungry for life, Without your pity
I don't want it, But you give it

Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she can't she can't wait


In the darkness, A killer awaits
To kill a life, And the lies you make
You do another, So this death can live
Just keep on dancing, To the movie your in
The smell of your sweat, Just lures me in
Your heartbeat, Does sing to me
Running feet, Beats my blood
My ghost inside you, Soon will be

Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she can't she can't wait

Hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity

I don't want sex but you give it

Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she can't she can't wait [x2]


Now its over, You've taken your life
The dark grows thin, And I'm left to hide
I don't regret it, But its sad anyway
Now were both dead, And scared of the black
This life of games, And diligent trust
Its the things we do, Or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Vanished by Crystal Castles describe the behavior of young people in the city who are seeking excitement and adventure. The song seems to be describing a scene of people running through the city streets at night, hungry for strays, and looking for companionship.


The lyrics speak about a killer who awaits in the darkness to kill those who lie. While the song is quite dark and macabre, it’s also quite poetic. The lyrics about dancing to the movie one’s in is a beautiful metaphor, as is the hint at a ghost inside someone who soon will be.


Throughout the song, we witness the struggles of people seeking meaning in a meaningless world. The speaker doesn’t want sex, but someone keeps offering it. In the end, death takes two people, and they’re left scared of the blackness of death.


Overall, the song Vanished portrays the experiences of young people seeking adventure and thrills while acknowledging the light and dark aspects of such experiences. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it’s clear that the song has a haunting and ominous tone.

Lyrics y'all
In the dark, We come out and play
We are its children, And were here to stay
Running through, Hungry for strays
No invitation, take me away
I'm not cruel, But that's still what you see
Club to club, Come see this city with me
Hungry for life, Without your pity
I don't want it, But you give it
Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she can't she can't wait
In the darkness, A killer awaits
To kill a life, And the lies you make
You do another, So this death can live
Just keep on dancing, To the movie your in
The smell of your sweat, Just lures me in
Your heartbeat, Does sing to me
Running feet, Beats my blood
My ghost inside you, Soon will be
Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she can't she can't wait
Hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity
Hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity
Hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity
Hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity

Still can't say she wont start up
Still can't say she won't start up a fight
You go city
Cause in the city of life she cant she cant wait
Now it's over, You've taken your life
The dark grows thin, And I'm left to hide
I don't regret it, But it's sad anyway
Now were both dead, And scared of the black
This life of games, And diligent trust
Its the things we do, Or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust



Rosalba Lourdes Leos

one of my favorite tracks ever.
I love the outro, I enjoy the whole track/song, but the burst of emotions when I hear the last two verses in the outro cannot be described. 03:29

"Now it's over, you've taken your life
Dark grows thin and I'm left to hide
I don't regret it, but it's sad anyway
Now we're both dead and so scared of the black


This life of games and diligent trust
It's the things we do, or the things we must
I'm now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust..."



Joshua Leon

To everyone doing their homework, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus.

To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve.

To everyone who is sad, grab a snack, have some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down and get some rest, no matter the time.

To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your creation looks terrific. Remain in your flow and get stuff done!

These are not my words but spread them and copy paste

There is a word for that. It is called "anemoia" - meaning "nostalgia for a time that has never existed"
