With Sauvé's moving vocals paired with an effected guitar, opener Dead End gently introduces us to his internal struggles with reclusion. This is where the immersion into his creative juxtaposition begins. Songs Half Empty Glass, People to Take Care Of, and Love Is Home whimsically explore personal introspection as layers of melody delicately swirl. In Ghosts, Selfless, Bad New Bearers, and Riddled (complete with Flugelhorn) the sadness is hidden in plain sight, radiating beneath minimalist performances. Lastly in closer Disappear guitars gently shimmer and build as he tells an emotional tale of sibling dynamics. Altogether Whatever It Takes is a breathtaking listen that exceeds all expectations. Proving that less can in fact be so much more.

Disappear
Quentin Sauvé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't look good
You're left alone
Abandoned in this very place you stood
You know how it feels like
To be running in circles
Always looking for the sparkle but
it was there the whole time
Are we gonna disappear in the background?
To get lost and never be found
We are of the same blood
Recovering from the flood
We care for each other
We share the same mother
Sometimes It's hard to recall
What she would have said
Once we find ourselves against the wall
When we're still afraid
Are we gonna disappear in the background?
To get lost and never be found
Don't you think our friends would stick around?
It's pretty clear that we have a special bond
So you hang in there
We hang with them
Hang in there
And if you give up then, I'll hang on for us
Are we gonna disappear?
The lyrics of Quentin Sauvé's song "Disappear" reflect themes of loneliness, longing for connection, and the fear of being forgotten. The opening lines suggest a sense of brokenness and isolation, with the singer acknowledging that the "picture is broken" and the subject of the song is left alone and abandoned. The phrase "running in circles" suggests a feeling of being stuck or constantly searching for something elusive, perhaps indicating a desire for meaning or fulfillment.
The chorus poses the question of whether they will "disappear in the background," suggesting a fear of being overlooked or forgotten. The line "To get lost and never be found" expresses a deep concern about losing oneself or fading away from the collective consciousness. The subsequent lines emphasize the shared humanity and connection between people, asserting that "we are of the same blood" and emphasizing the importance of caring for and supporting each other. Despite the difficulties and fears they face, there is a belief in the strength of their bond, as expressed through the lines "Don't you think our friends would stick around? It's pretty clear that we have a special bond."

I know the picture is broken
I am aware that everything seems to be falling apart
It doesn't look good
The situation appears bleak and unfavorable
You're left alone
You feel abandoned and isolated
Abandoned in this very place you stood
Left behind in the exact spot you once called home
You know how it feels like
You understand the experience and emotions associated with
To be running in circles
Being caught in a continuous cycle without progress
Always looking for the sparkle but
Constantly searching for something bright and hopeful
it was there the whole time
The source of hope and happiness was within reach all along
Are we gonna disappear in the background?
Will we fade away and go unnoticed?
To get lost and never be found
Becoming lost and never able to be located again
We are of the same blood
We are family and share a strong connection
Recovering from the flood
Healing and rebuilding after a devastating event
We care for each other
We have genuine concern and affection for one another
We share the same mother
We have the same maternal figure
Sometimes It's hard to recall
At times, it's difficult to remember
What she would have said
The wisdom and advice she would have given
Once we find ourselves against the wall
When we encounter a difficult or challenging situation
When we're still afraid
Even though we still experience fear
Don't you think our friends would stick around?
Do you not believe that our friends would stay by our side?
It's pretty clear that we have a special bond
It is evident and obvious that we share a unique connection
So you hang in there
Stay strong and persevere
We hang with them
We support and stand by our friends
And if you give up then, I'll hang on for us
If you lose hope, I will continue to hold onto hope for both of us
Are we gonna disappear?
Will we vanish and cease to exist?
