Desapareceré
Deerhoof Lyrics

The lyrics of the song Desapareceré by Deerhoof are a mixture of Spanish and English, which may seem ambiguous at first, but upon closer analysis, the song appears to be a commentary on the human desire to disappear and disconnect from the world. The opening lines "Mira! Mira! piedra cabeza me ve/Mirame, que desaparecere" (Look! Look! the stone head sees me/ Look at me, I will disappear) suggest that the singer wants to vanish or become invisible to others. The lines "Busca, busca, bu-su-ca, busandome/Seres sentientes, oye" (Search, search, se-arc-hing for me/Feeling beings, listen) indicate that the singer is still seeking attention and recognition, despite wishing to disappear.

The chorus of the song "Fiesta! Fiesta! por supuesta!/Entra en la baila/Este Baile es para una persona sola" (Party! Party! of course!/Join the dance/This dance is for one person only) suggests a certain sense of loneliness and isolation felt by the singer. The lines "Cerca, cerca, venga cerca, respira/ No me reconoce, aunque/En su sopa maravillosa oculto/ Algo que no se puedo comer" (Close, close, come closer, breathe/ They don't recognize me, even though/ Hidden in their wonderful soup/ Something that cannot be eaten) perhaps indicate that the singer is hiding something from those around them, and despite being in a social setting, feels disconnected from the people around them.

Overall, the song appears to be a commentary on the human desire to both seek attention and recognition, while simultaneously feeling the need to disappear and disconnect from the world.
