Disintegrate

Disintegrate

And my head isn't where it ought to be
All slow and faster speeds
But I'm moving on, and it won't be long
I'm changing everything

I'm living like
I'm not afraid
To see myself disintegrate
Jesus Christ save me
We go on night missions like apparitions
Lights in a black sea

There is no hurt that I can't make it through
No matter what you do
Every morning comes, like I've been reborn
It's not for me to choose

I'm living like
I'm not afraid
To see myself disintegrate
Jesus Christ save me
I stare up and wonder what I'll be under
Lights in a black sea
Lights in a black sea

All the signs are breaking up
In the cold solaria
Everything is now okay
As it slowly falls away

I'm living like
I'm not afraid
To see myself disintegrate
Jesus Christ save me
I stare up and wonder what I'll be under
Lights in a black sea
Lights in a black sea

Show me the sun
I want to see

Give me the smile
You know the one
Identify the part of me

I'd never begun
I'd never begun
I'd never begun

I'd never begun
I'd never begun
I'd never begun

Show me the sun
I want to see

Give me the smile
You know the one
Identify the part of me

I'd never begun
I'd never begun
I'd never begun

c'mon you know me




Have I never died the man I once
I know I Journey to the earth and heaven

Overall Meaning

The song Disintegrate by Iris talks about the confusion and exhaustion that come with trying to make changes in one's life, and the fear that accompanies the process of letting go of old patterns and ways of being. The lyrics express a desire to move forward, to be unafraid of disintegration or the pain it may bring, and to trust that there is a way to emerge on the other side of the journey. The singer keeps pushing through the fear and doubt, and even finds moments of peace and beauty amidst the darkness, represented symbolically by the "lights in a black sea". The chorus, "I'm living like I'm not afraid to see myself disintegrate, Jesus Christ save me", captures the tension between the fear of letting go and the hope for something better on the other side.


The final verse brings a sense of resolution and acceptance that comes after the journey of disintegration. The signs that were once breaking up are now falling away, and there is a sense that everything is okay, even though it may not look the way it once did. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer asking to see the sun and identifying a part of themselves that they had never fully begun to explore.


Overall, Disintegrate is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the human experience of change and growth. It acknowledges the difficulty and pain that come with transformation, but also celebrates the beauty and hope that can emerge on the other side.
