Disappear
Avernus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coil broken...perchance to leave a soul, perchance to sleep
When i awakened i found it, it was lying next to me
I feel it crawling, under my skin it's trying to break me
I feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
And the one i can't save in this life, forever haunting me..
Alone, grey home, right here..a shattered man is inside looking out
Burning his reflection, yet his heart can still be found
I feel it crawling, under my skin it's trying to break me
I feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
And the one i can't save in this life, forever haunting me..
Disappear...i can't make them disappear, they only fade
Ashes scatter, their ashes scatter, burn them all away!
I feel it crawling, under my skin it was trying to break me




I feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
And the one i can't save in this life, forever haunting me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Avernus's song "Disappear" are quite haunting and introspective, as they explore themes of loss, regret, and the struggle to overcome inner demons. The opening line "coil broken" suggests that something within the singer has been unraveled or loosened, setting them on a path towards a deeper understanding of themselves. The lines "perchance to leave a soul, perchance to sleep / when I awakened I found it, it was lying next to me" hint at a sense of detachment or disconnection from the world, perhaps due to a traumatic event or loss.


As the song progresses, the singer describes feeling a sensation of crawling beneath their skin, representing the overwhelming urge to give in to despair and self-destruction. However, they also express a sense of numbness, as if they have already experienced so much pain that they can no longer feel anything at all. The repeated line "and the one I can't save in this life, forever haunting me" suggests that the singer is haunted by the memory of someone they were unable to help or save, and this has become a source of deep regret and sorrow.


Line by Line Meaning

Coil broken...perchance to leave a soul, perchance to sleep
My spirit is no longer bound, possibly to depart from this world, possibly to rest eternally


When I awakened I found it, it was lying next to me
I opened my eyes to find the evidence of my broken bond beside me


I feel it crawling, under my skin it's trying to break me
I am aware of my fractured state and the constant struggle to keep it together


I feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
My emotions have been drained and I am numb to the point of tears not falling


And the one I can't save in this life, forever haunting me...
The memory of the one I couldn't rescue continues to torment me through life and beyond


Alone, grey home, right here...a shattered man is inside looking out
Despite being physically present, I am consumed by my broken state and isolated within


Burning his reflection, yet his heart can still be found
Despite the self-destructive tendencies, the essence of who I am remains


Disappear...i can't make them disappear, they only fade
I cannot erase the memories that plague me, they only become less vivid over time


Ashes scatter, their ashes scatter, burn them all away!
The only solace I can find is to destroy all reminders of the past


I feel it crawling, under my skin it was trying to break me
The feeling of being broken persists and intensifies


I feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
The numbness remains, making it difficult to express emotions


And the one I can't save in this life, forever haunting me...
The burden of being unable to save someone continues to haunt me
