How to Reappear Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother love
Are you near
And are there words to be spoken
So that I can reappear


Broken boy
A tattered coat upon a spine
Spilling hope across the sidewalk
Then in the evenings voices come and they’ll sing to me

[Chorus 1]
I'm on your side for now
But you're so far broken
And doors keep closing

[Bridge]
Red used to go so nicely
With pink and blue
Then the colors died
And I might leave here soon

That’s why I’m holding on so tightly
To things like you
That bring back the light that left here
Light that left here
I might leave here, I might leave here soon
[Verse 2]
Father sin
Are you near
And are there words to be spoken
So that I can reappear


Or now
Let this be my final dream
If I can't live how I remember
Send me forth towards light and soft eternity

[Chorus 2]
I’m on your side
For now

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“How to Reappear”—with a title that references Radiohead’s song “How to Disappear Completely”—shares some themes with the iconic Radiohead hit: themes of isolation, loneliness, existential despair, etc. However, Roland Faunte’s track takes things even further by exploring the idea, perhaps even fantasy, of suicide. He wrestles with this idea throughout the track—and indeed, throughout his entire debut album “Sewing Kit”—while exploring multiple ways to approach the idea, ultimately concluding that he’ll stick around for now and try “to reappear" even despite the devastating suicidal ideation that he knows he will continue to face.
