Disappear
8stops7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

no i don't
have a reason
that i think
you might understand

my intentions
speak louder
than the words i choose
to prove that i can

*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------
but these words they disappear
so i speak them without fear
of losing way too much of myself

and what i really need to say
never quite comes out the same
*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------

it's probably just as well
it's probably just as well

no i dont
have a reason
that you think i might understand



i love you
you're my brother
but you make me feel like less than a man

*chorus*

i'll keep it to myself
it's probably just as well

i try to hang on
i always go down
know now that i can't
bring this around

*chorus*

i'll keep it to myself
it's probably just as well

*chorus*





i'll keep it to myself
it's probably just as well

Overall Meaning

The song "Disappear" by 8stops7 is an emotional track that is easily relatable to anyone who has ever struggled with expressing their feelings to a loved one. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, as they express the frustration and helplessness one might feel when they can't seem to find the right words to convey what they truly mean.


The song opens with the singer confessing that he doesn't have a reason that the person he is addressing might understand. This could mean that he is struggling to articulate his thoughts and emotions or maybe he believes that the person he is speaking to won't be able to empathize with him. He then goes on to say that his intentions speak louder than the words he chooses to prove that he can. This suggests that he wants to be understood without having to say a lot of words.


The chorus of the song is the most poignant part of the track, where the singer admits that the words he wants to say often disappear as he speaks them. He then encourages himself to speak his mind without fear of losing part of himself. However, he also admits that what he wants to say never comes out the same way he wants it to, which is a frustrating experience.


The song's second verse is addressed to the singer's brother, and he reveals that he loves him but feels less of a man around him. This could suggest that the brother is dominating or belittling him in some way, and he can't seem to confront him about it.


Overall, "Disappear" by 8stops7 is a raw and honest song about struggling to express oneself. It's a relatable track that encourages listeners to be brave and speak their truths despite the fear of losing themselves or of the words disappearing.
