Disappear
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold it straight together, man
Hold it straight together, if you can
Little fevers wrapped in medication
All strung out on novelty
Collapse yourself and try to comprehend
An angry island, a bitter bee sting
Severing and shattering
It's isolation, mark the earth around you
Guess who's on the waiting list
I'll let you in on something secret
I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shuffle through my skin
I am with you til the end
First you breathe out
Then you have to breathe in
Lash yourself repeatedly
Until it sticks, until it sticks
Under the eyelids, carry on cadaver
Festering interiors
All hollow breach and vapor silhouette
Need medication, more medication
Coursing through your interstates
All mad and great, confused and counterfeit
Kamikaze, sear the blood inside me
Guess who's got it figured out
I'll let you in on something secret
I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shuffle through my skin
I am with you til the end
And I can decompose
When it suits me I accelerate it
Wicked on all fours,
I surrender to the storm
You'll never know how it feels
You'll never know how it feels
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shuffle through my skin
I am with you til the end
I can decompose
When it suits me, I accelerate it
Wicked on all fours,
I surrender to the storm
And I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shuffle through my skin
I am with you til the end
I'm with you til the end

An ex of mine showed me this song I high-school. I remember digging the hell out of it, but I also remember her giving me the disclaimer that it's a bit depressing. I was too busy jamming so I didn't think too deep into it.
Here we around a decade later. She died of a heroin overdose. Another friend of mine committed suicide and time moves forward.
I get it now, shits rough.

I love the lyrics of this band. Not just that though, the way the tone of their songs come off. Its that irony to their voice that I find amazing. Like the feeling of having a day so bad its sadistically comical. Don't know if thats making the least bit of sense...
