Disappear
Paradise Lost (1997 - One Second) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The chance of fear
The only reason you're awake,
We decrease in size
When burdened with your mind,
But you know escape is to run,
In a constant commotion
It's revulsion
Maybe you'll disappear
Recall the past when you were strong,
Those distant days
It seems are now forever gone,
You'll increase desire
To wander and retire,
But you know escape is to run

Line by Line Meaning
In living with a fear of chance,
Living with the fear of unpredictable events,
The chance of fear
The fear of possible outcomes,
The only reason you're awake,
The fear keeps you alert,
We decrease in size
The fear makes us feel small,
When burdened with your mind,
When weighed down by your thoughts and fears,
But you know escape is to run,
But you are aware that the only way to escape is to run away,
In a constant commotion
In a state of continuous disturbance,
When I speak
When I express myself,
It's revulsion
It's disgust or abhorrence,
Maybe you'll disappear
Perhaps you will vanish or cease to exist,
Recall the past when you were strong,
Remember when you had strength and confidence,
Those distant days
Those days that seem far away,
It seems are now forever gone,
It appears like they can never be brought back,
You'll increase desire
You will have a growing urge or longing,
To wander and retire,
To travel and withdraw from the current situation,
But you know escape is to run
But you know the only way to escape is to run away,

You'll increase desire to wander and retire, but you know escape is to run.

I had this cassette once and I remember listening to this song tripping on cough syrup. It reached right out of the stereo and grabbed me. What a strange moment. I'll never forget it;)
