Disbelief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
try to reach me when I'm blind - I am blind, try to reach me
you - have to learn, free in mind, you - touch me now - now
welcome my first love, welcome my first love
try to reach me when I'm blind - I am blind, try to reach me
try - to walk alone, so realize it,
love - I don't know
touch your lips, touch your mouth,
I want to break you down
this is my trip
I'll kill you, I'll rape you, I'll rape you
I'll kill you, I'll kill you
welcome my first love, welcome my first love
I'll kill you
good bye
The lyrics to Disbelief's song, First, are dark and intense, full of themes of blindness, love, and violence. The repetition of the phrase "welcome my first love" could be seen as ironic, as the singer goes on to describe wanting to "kill" and "rape" this love. The line "try to reach me when I'm blind - I am blind, try to reach me" conveys a sense of desperation and desire for help, while also implying a sense of futility in trying to reach out for assistance when one is lost in darkness.
The lines "touch your lips, touch your mouth, I want to break you down" are particularly disturbing, implying a power dynamic in which the singer desires to dominate and control their lover. The final line "good bye" is a chilling conclusion to the song, leaving the listener with a sense of unease and discomfort.
Overall, the lyrics to First are deeply disturbing and unsettling, with themes of violence, domination, and blindness.
