About This Track

'Vanish' closes the album as a reflection on the push and pull of a relationship caught in cycles of hurtful speech and genuine affection. Givēon adopts the voice of someone caught between anger and love, trading accusations of wanting the other to disappear while simultaneously professing devotion. The tension sits at the heart of the song: both parties say things they don't mean, wounding someone who means everything to them, yet neither can quite let go. By the bridge, the dynamic shifts. Givēon mirrors his partner's words back at her, only to undercut the cruelty with an admission of love and understanding. The outro strips away the melody almost entirely, leaving just his voice over sparse instrumentation as he catalogues the work ahead for them both. It's a song about damage and the fragile decision to repair it, built on the recognition that love and hurt can coexist in the same breath.

"VANISH" is a track by GIVĒON, from the album TAKE TIME, released 27th March 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

VANISH

[Pre-Chorus]

You said you hate me and you wish I would vanish

Okay, you love me, baby, I speak your language

[Chorus]

Sayin' things you don't mean

To someone that means the world to you

You see what I mean?

Sayin' things you don't mean

To someone that means the world to you

You see what I mean?

[Pre-Chorus]

You said you hate me and you wish I would vanish

Okay, you love me, baby I speak your language

[Chorus]

Sayin' things you don't mean

To the one that means the world to you

You see what I mean?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I say, "I hate you, too, and I wish you would vanish"

But, babe, I love you and I think you understand it

[Chorus]

Sayin' things I don't mean

To the one that means the world to me

You see what I mean?

Sayin' things I don't mean

Girl, you mean the world to me, yes, you do, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

I, I know

I'm sorry

I can be a hypocrite

I got stuff to work on

You got stuff to work on

But, we're gonna, we're gonna make it work

I love you
