Disappear
Mamilah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stand to see your furtive smile
Who you gonna call for responsibility
Who now?
So you'd rather, you'd rather, you'd rather
See us in the dirt
You'd rather, you'd rather
Heaven soon it will disappear
Till then, oh I will hold you dear
It won't be very long from here
Till then
Left us for dead still feel the sting
The world is our from sky to water
Our hand are up and have always been
But you'd rather, you'd rather, you'd rather
See us in the dirt
You'd rather, you'd rather
See us in the dirt
Heaven soon it will disappear
Till then, oh I will hold you dear
It won't be very long from here
Till then
We're crying but where were you
Let the flowers bloom
We're crying out
Can you hear us shout?
Can you hear us shout?
Can you hear
We're crying out
Heaven soon it will disappear
Till then, oh I will hold you dear
It won't be very long from here
Till then
Heaven soon it will disappear
Till then, oh I will hold you dear
It won't be very long from here
Till then
The lyrics to Mamilah's song "Disappear" convey a sense of frustration and disappointment towards someone who has turned their back on a group or community. The lyrics suggest that this person is avoiding taking responsibility and instead prefers to see others suffer or fail.
The opening lines, "Don't you go turn your back on us / Can't stand to see your furtive smile," express a plea for this person not to abandon them. The use of the word "furtive" implies that their smile is secretive or deceitful, suggesting that they may be hiding their true intentions. The question of "Who you gonna call for responsibility?" further emphasizes the disappointment, as it implies that the person being addressed is avoiding their obligations.
The repetition of the phrase "You'd rather see us in the dirt" reinforces the feeling of betrayal and the perception that this person is actively wishing for their downfall. The lyrics also mention being left for dead and feeling the sting, indicating that the actions of this person have caused significant harm.
Despite this, the chorus expresses a sense of hope and resilience. The lines "Heaven soon it will disappear / Till then, oh I will hold you dear" suggest that the pain caused by this person will eventually fade away. The repetition of "Till then" implies that there is an understanding that things will improve over time.
The bridge of the song introduces a plea for attention and recognition. The lyrics "We're crying but where were you / Let the flowers bloom / We're crying out / Can you hear us shout?" express a desire to be acknowledged and heard, highlighting the neglect or indifference shown by this person.
Overall, "Disappear" reflects the emotional turmoil and frustration caused by the abandonment and lack of responsibility from someone close. The lyrics convey a mix of disappointment, resilience, and a longing for recognition.
