We're the last of the sleepless ones
Left behind by those we left behind tonight.
Quiet now, let the boys in take
Were we always just your lost cause mistakes?
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
I need you on my side.
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
With arms wide.
Alone, left alone.
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone.
Forgotten, lost, and left behind. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/anberlin/disappear.html ]
Darklit streets are no place for kids
But it gives us more of a home than you ever did
We're the scientists left to our own demise.
You're still our last chance to get out of this place alive.
Wait for me, will you wait for me with arms wide?
Alone, left alone.
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone.
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Alone, left alone.
Watch us slowly disappear in time.
Alone, left alone.
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone.
Forgotten, lost!
We're left alone, left alone
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone
Forgotten, lost and left behind.
Its about the homeless population. They don't get to sleep because wherever they find a place to sleep, the police are more than willing to tell them to move. The darklit streets are the only places they can go that will always accept them. They all are lonely and really just want to be loved, but instead people ignore and forget them until they disappear. Some even wish all homeless people would just disappear.
