Don't Ever Want To Be Found
The Rubens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Without a trace you disappear
You must have felt me secret fear
Try to save face not seem to care
Try to be brave I was scared.

Now I'm running crazy in the dark
No idea where you are.
And I cant hear nothing but a sound,

'Cause you don't ever want to be found

I'll search for years until the end,
Or till I find a better friend

Then I'll look back on my despair
And realize nothing fair

Now I'm running crazy in the dark
No idea where you are.
And I cant hear nothing but a sound,
'Cause you don't ever want to be found

Now I'm running crazy in the dark
No idea where you are.

And I cant hear nothing but a sound,
'Cause you don't ever want to be found

Overall Meaning

The Rubens's song Don't Ever Want To Be Found is a melancholic track that explores the emotions of someone who has been abandoned by a friend or a loved one. The singer of the song is left feeling fearful and scared after the person disappears without a trace. The opening lines, "Without a trace you disappear, You must have felt me secret fear" suggest a sense of betrayal that the singer is feeling as the person they trusted has left them hanging.

The chorus of the song reflects on the despair that comes with the search for the missing person. Despite the singer's efforts, the person in question does not want to be found. The lines "Now I'm running crazy in the dark, No idea where you are. And I can't hear nothing but a sound, 'Cause you don't ever want to be found" give meaning to the title of the song, as the person who has vanished prefers to remain anonymous and is not interested in reconnecting.

The song is a powerful reflection on the pain of losing someone, and the search for resolution that can never truly be resolved. The haunting melodies and emotional lyrics make it a track that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a lost friend or lover.

Line by Line Meaning

Without a trace you disappear
You vanished unexpectedly without a trace

You must have felt me secret fear
I felt afraid when you left without notice

Try to save face not seem to care
I am pretending to be fine but I really care

Try to be brave I was scared.
I was frightened despite trying to be brave

Now I'm running crazy in the dark
I am frantically searching in the darkness

No idea where you are.
I have no clue about your whereabouts

And I cant hear nothing but a sound,
I can hear nothing but silence

'Cause you don't ever want to be found
You do not want to be located

I'll search for years until the end,
I will search for you tirelessly until the end

Or till I find a better friend
I may stop searching if I find a better companion

Then I'll look back on my despair
I will reflect on my sadness and hopelessness

And realize nothing fair
I will understand that life is not fair

Now I'm running crazy in the dark
I am still frantically searching in the darkness

No idea where you are.
I am still clueless about your whereabouts

And I cant hear nothing but a sound,
I am still hearing only silence

'Cause you don't ever want to be found
You still do not want to be located
