Disappear
Les Trois Tetons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to be, don't want to be you
Sink like a stone, just like a stone
Don't talk so loud I cannot hear you
I throw myself just like a stone

Say goodbye to all your dreams
Leave your town and disappear

It seems to me that things are turning

The underdogs will rise again
Can't you see the flame is burning
The youngest hearts sure understand

Say goodbye to all your dreams
Leave your town and disappear

Overall Meaning

In Les Trois Tetons' song "Disappear," the lyrics convey a sense of wanting to escape from one's own identity and surroundings. The repetition of "just like a stone" highlights a desire to be unnoticeable, as if fading into the background. The line "Say goodbye to all your dreams, Leave your town and disappear" is a call to action, urging the listener to abandon their aspirations and start anew. The use of the phrase "the underdogs will rise again" hints at a deeper struggle, implying that the singer may feel oppressed or marginalized in some way. However, the final line, "The youngest hearts sure understand," suggests that there is still hope for a bright future, and that perhaps the younger generation will know how to effect change.
