The meaning of the lyrics of the song "How to Disappear" by the artist "Thomas Azier"

In "How to Disappear," Thomas Azier explores themes of loss, longing, and the desire to dissolve into something bigger, to escape reality. The lyrical protagonist undergoes a profound transformation: "Everything I knew looks different now."

“This is my home, this is my home. All the windows look different now, ‘Cause they’re not yours, no, they’re not yours” - these lines convey that a familiar place no longer brings joy and comfort, as someone important is missing. The windows, once pleasing to the eye, have become alien, reminding of the loss.

The recurring question "How to disappear?" reflects the despair and desire to escape pain. The protagonist seeks a way to forget, to become invisible, like a “bird on your bed,” which can sing, comforting in sad moments, but remain unnoticed.

Comparing himself to “a breeze” emphasizes ephemerality and elusiveness. The lyrical hero seems to dissolve into the air, striving to become part of something bigger than his own pain.

Despite despair, the hero retains hope: “Now I have dreams, Dreams of peace, dreams of peace." He believes that someday the pain will subside, autumn will come – a time of change and the opportunity to start anew. He asks: “Let me come home,” referring not so much to a physical place as to a state of peace and harmony.
