Disappear - Lyrics - R.e.m.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention because of Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

I've dragged my feet Across the seat And jumped out the passenger side. The only thing worth looking for Is what you find inside. But that had not yet appeared. Lost, invisible, here. Tel Aviv and Agadir, Taroudant and Olomouc Before I learned to see The vanishing point appear. I looked for you and everywhere. I looked for you and everywhere. There is a calm I haven't come to yet I spend half my life figuring what comes next. I telescoped in. I'll finally win, I'll finally win the prize. That now my eyes see A comic's perfect timing squeezed. I'm headfirst fighting everything The crushed force of memory Erasing all I've been The vanishing point appears. I looked for you and everywhere. I looked for you and everywhere. Tell me why you're here I came to disappear. Look at this face. Can you believe it? Am I living in a beautiful vacuum, Because I can't see it. The vanishing point appears. I looked for you and everywhere. I looked for you and everywhere. Tell me why you're here I came to disappear Tell me why you're here I came to disappear I came to disappear.
