my favorite Sabbath song and you beat me to it by minutes you sly devil
Havent listened to this in 30 years. It s still moving. Some tunes are timeless.
DISAPPEAR
I often wonder how much pain you have to go through to be able to write lyrics like this⦠![]()
I did the math but it just donāt add up
Thereās a whole world that used to be us
Now thereās an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but thereās still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
Iām not crying, you are
Ok I lost some tears listening to it when it released,⦠and sometimes I still do today
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So how long were you numb?
'Cause it was cold as ice
And I keep saying that Iām okay with it
But thatās another lie
The truth is Iāve been dying slowly
But no, not you, you just
Turned to drift into the night
A parting scene of apathy
In an instant shift to a
Stone heart, paired with empty eyes
That stared right through mine
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just donāt add up
Thereās a whole world that used to be us
Now thereās an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but thereās still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
[Verse 2]
All is lost, slipped away
Gone without a trace
I sometimes wonder if it was real because
All thatās left seems fake
Like Iām trapped within a wrong dimension
I tried so hard just to
Make you feel my pain
If you had empathy, youād see Iād changed
But like a ghost in your presence, I dissipate
I tried it all, itās all in vain
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just donāt add up
Thereās a whole world that used to be us
Now thereās an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but thereās still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
[Bridge]
Sometimes, I still slip
And start to question if
It was only in my mind
Itās hard to come to grips
That you still exist
When it feels just like you died
So come one and all
Step right up and Iāll
Perform a trick before your eyes
Iāll evaporate
Gone without a trace
Off the radar, out of sight
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just donāt add up
Thereās a whole world that used to be us
Now thereās an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but thereās still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
