I Appear Missing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Calling all comas
Prisoner on the loose; description
The spitting image of me
Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out

[Chorus]
Shock me awake and tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Prisoner of sleep, deeper down
The rabbit hole, never to be found
Again

[Verse 2]
Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone; feelings
Raw and exposed
When I'm out of control
Pieces were stolen from me
Or dare I say, given away
Watching the water give in as I go down the drain
I appear missing now

[Pre-Chorus]

25/5/2021 Queens of the Stone Age – I Appear Missing Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

I go missing, no longer exist

One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss

[Chorus]
Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper asleep, further down
The rabbit hole, never to be found

[Post-Chorus]
It's only falling in love
Because you hit the ground

[Verse 3]
Dancing on wire, both ends are on fire
Cut me loose
Nowhere to run, no more room to pretend
Wandering along the road in the summer night

[Pre-Chorus]
I go missing, no longer exist
One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss

[Chorus]
Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper asleep, further down
The rabbit hole never to be found

[Outro]
(Confide) With my toes on the edge, it's such a lovely view
(Don't cry) I never loved anything until I loved you
(Inside) I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(But shine) I haven't a thing unless I have you
(Confide) With my toes on the edge, it's such a lovely view
(Don't cry) I never loved anything until I loved you
(Inside) I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(But shine) I've fallen through

Written in reflection upon his coma (following a knee operation, which went wrong), Homme touches upon
dark themes such as depression and melancholic longing in a song, which renders the listener empathetic to his
situation with well written metaphors.

While never released as a single, the visual artist Boneface collaborated with QotSA and made a short
animation for this, as well as several other songs from the album.
