Missing
Fisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers
One way to avoid questions and answers
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
The most likely one to achieve
Such a high
What can I say to his poor father
He calls every day - looking for clues
There's no gingerbread trail for him to follow
The candy man's come and taken his son
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
His face in the dirt
And his friends by his side
And Karl is missing tonight
Maybe I'm the one that's wrong - I misunderstood
You just wanna die young to come back And feel good
But is it worth the exchange? Does it keep you from harm?
The last time I saw you
You clutched my arm and you wept
Like a child
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
He's learned how to leave without saying goodbye
And Karl is missing tonight
And Karl is out of my life.
Out of my life.

Karl's father is searching for him and calling for clues, but there is no trail for him to follow. The verse goes on to say that Karl's friends are by his side, but he is missing nonetheless.
The chorus repeats the line "And Karl is missing tonight" several times, with the addition of a line about Karl having learned how to "fly" by "keeping his knees on the ground."
The final verse offers a more personal reflection on Karl's situation. The singer wonders if they misunderstood Karl's desire to die young and whether it was worth the exchange of harm. The verse concludes with a scene where Karl clutches the singer's arm and weeps like a child, suggesting that he may have wanted help but was unable to get it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Missing" are a poignant reflection on addiction and its impact on individuals and their loved ones. It portrays the struggles of those who have been left behind and the search for answers that often comes too late.
