I Appear Disappear
Thomas Giles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And questioned all we made
Where are we going?
I will become the dark
But touched is one you form I make
They focused??? A crippled vendetta
That I will mark you soon
We pull it back down to
Where are we starting?
I want to be one
(x2)
I'm insane but I'm not enough
I'm insane but it's not enough
I'm insane but I'm not enough
I'm insane but I'm not enough
I'm insane but it's not enough
I'm insane but I'm not enough
I'm insane but it's not enough
(x2)
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
I thought I was gone
Their twisted have will make you hide out
I slide back to that [?]
Keep watching over us
As I talk here with them
With the shade of the moon
(x2)
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
I thought I was gone
In Thomas Giles's song "I Appear Disappear," the lyrics suggest a sense of confusion and uncertainty about one's direction in life. The opening lines, "It came into my twisted view and questioned all we made, where are we going?" reflects a speaker who is grappling with questions about the meaning and purpose of life. Additionally, the line "I will become the dark" suggests a level of despair and self-doubt, as the singer appears to be losing faith in their ability to navigate the complexities of life.
As the song progresses, the lyrics continue to raise questions about identity and self-worth. The line "To cut the skin with traps or thoughts, we pull it back down to where we are starting" suggests a sense of self-mutilation, as the singer tries to understand their own psyche. The repetition of the line "I'm insane but I'm not enough" further underscores this sense of confusion and instability.
The final lines of the song offer a sense of resolution, as the singer questions their own perception of reality. The lines "Where are we going? I thought I was gone" suggest a new level of self-awareness, as the singer begins to confront their own limitations and strive for clarity.
Overall, "I Appear Disappear" is a deeply introspective and emotionally charged song that explores important themes about identity, self-worth, and purpose.
