Disappear
The Devlins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything we talked about
Just up in smoke the way you see it
Maybe it hurts just like it should
Maybe you saw yourself in
Someone else's perfect figure, I don't care
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
See, as of now you'll disappear
You're saying your dreams feel so good
Standing on the corner, baby
Shoot the breeze above your knees
Everything works just like it should
Finger on the trigger now so click your heels
And make some deals from now on
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Tell me that you can
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Pretty soon you'll disappear
In the meantime I guess all life is in your hands
It didn't work out like you planned, it didn't
So tell me when you come around, could you hear that sound?
When you come around, can you hear that sound?
Tell me when you come around, baby, can you hear that sound?
Oh when you come around, did you hear that sound?
Waiting for the curse that will not come
Try to rearrange yourself
But nothing you can do could change it
Now everything adds up to one
It's raining in your head but look outside
The sun's still shining, so don't ask why
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
Tell me that you can
Did you ever stop to wonder why you're here
See, as of now you'll disappear
Pretty soon you'll disappear
Yeah, I'll watch you disappear
As of now you disappear
Disappear, oh, yeah
The Devlins's song "Disappear" is a reflective tune that talks about someone who has been caught doing something wrong and now finds themselves paying the price. The opening lines talk about being caught in the act, and everything that was planned has now vanished into thin air. It's unclear what the crime was, but the singer does not seem to care. They go on to say that maybe the person knew that what they were doing was wrong deep down, and that's why it hurts.
The song then takes a philosophical turn, asking the question of why the person is here in the first place. The singer challenges them to think about their purpose and to consider if they have stopped to wonder about their existence. This is followed by the warning that if they don't do it now, they might disappear, a fate that is repeated several times throughout the song. Towards the end, the song also communicates a sense of hope that things will get better. The sun is still shining, and the person should not ask why.
