Disappear
Jennifer Laura Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who keep waiting to be seen, right?
I mean no one seems to care or stops to notice that we're there
So we get lost in the in-between
But
If you can somehow keep them thinking of me
And make me more than an abandoned memory
It means someone will see that you are there
No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
No one should come and go
And have no one know he was ever even here
No one deserves to disappear
To disappear
Disappear
It's true
Even if you've always been that barely-in-the-background kind of guy
You still matter
And even if you're somebody who can't escape the feeling
That the world's passed you by
You still matter
If you never get around to doing some remarkable thing
That doesn't mean that you're not worth remembering
Think of the people who need to know
They need to know
So you need to show them (I need to show them)
That no one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
To fade away
No one should flicker out or have any doubt
That it matters that they are here
No one deserves (no one deserves)
To disappear to disappear
Disappear
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
All you want is for somebody to find you
When you're falling in a forest
And when you hit the ground
All you need is for somebody to find you
I'm calling it the Connor project
The Connor project?
A student group dedicated to keeping Connor's memory alive
To showing that everybody should matter
We have to do this. Not just for Connor, for everyone
'Cause no one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves To fade away
We're calling it the Connor project
The Connor project?
Imagine a major online presence
A massive fundraising drive
And for the kickoff event: an all-school memorial assembly
I didn't realize Connor meant this much to people
Oh Evan, this is wonderful!
No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
No one deserves to disappear
No one deserves to disappear
No one should flicker out or have any doubt
That it matters that they are here
No one deserves (no one deserves)
No one deserves to disappear
To disappear
Disappear
No one deserves (to be forgotten)
Disappear
To disappear, disappear
To disappear, disappear
Disappear
To disappear
Disappear (disappear)
To disappear
Disappear

Thompson's powerful voice and the emotive harmonies add an extra dimension to the lyrics, making them all the more poignant.

Everybody has value and deserves to be remembered, noticed, and acknowledged. People should never disappear without making an impact.
It's true
Even if you've always been that barely-in-the-background kind of guy

Regardless of how insignificant we believe our presence to be, we still have worth and matter to somebody.
And even if you're somebody who can't escape the feeling
That the world's passed you by
You still matter
Even if it seems like the world has moved on, we still exist and have a place in someone's world.

And when you hit the ground
All you need is for somebody to find you
When we feel lost, unnoticed or unimportant, all we need is for someone to find us and recognize our worth.
