Tale Of The Missing Man Lyrics
[Intro: Lily Kaplan & Scrim]
Hold my hand, my love
Take the wheel ’cause I’m falling back
(You did good, )
Ring the telephone
(It’s a Smash)
Say the words ’cause I’m falling back
[Chorus: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Last call, this one for the dead man walking
Pictures of what used to be up in his hands often
Left without his gun, so I doubt if he’ll be coming back (Back to you)
Last I heard, he was somewhere riding through the town (Okay)
Talking to himself, on how he wish that he could slow it down (Skrrt)
So here’s another round for the man who ain’t coming back
(Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
[Post-Chorus: Scrim]
Don’t waste away your days
A missing man can’t be saved (Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah)
[Verse: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Word is that he afraid of love (Afraid of)
Word is that he feels nothing
An outlaw in a freefall (Woo)
Wishing they call the search off (Woo)
There’s the seat where he used to be (Waa)
Always hard to reach, always by himself
Dangerously antisocial with lies to sell (Himself)
In his mind, oh, no, no no, no, he can’t find no help (Back to you)
It’s a certain type of hell with what’s expected of him
And no one ever cares until he’s missing again (Back to you)
The pain behind his eyes, is just a window for inside (The pain)
You worried that he’s dead but I know he already died
[Pre-Chorus: Lily Kaplan & Scrim]
Hold my hand, my love
Take the wheel ’cause I’m falling back
Dead man walking but the pills keep him talking
(Yeah) Ring the telephone
Say the words ’cause I’m falling back
[Chorus: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Last call, this one for the dead man walking
Pictures of what used to be up in his hands often
Left without his gun, so I doubt if he’ll be coming back (Back to you)
Last I heard, he was somewhere riding through the town (Okay)
Talking to himself, on how he wish that he could slow it down (Skrrt)
So here’s another round for the man who ain’t coming back
(Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
[Post-Chorus: Scrim]
Don’t waste away your days
A missing man can’t be saved (Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah)
[Outro: Lily Kaplan & Chanté Marie]
You, you, you, back to you
You, you, you back to you
I’ve seen the lights in every city glow
But now I’m torn without, your soul

Tale Of The Missing Man Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Lily Kaplan & Scrim]
This part feels like someone reaching out for help, almost like they’re losing control and asking their partner to take over. They’re emotionally slipping away and need support. There’s also a feeling of urgency and emotional heaviness behind the lines, like they’re on the edge of giving up.
[Chorus: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
This section paints a picture of someone who’s emotionally and mentally checked out—like a “dead man walking.” He’s holding on to old memories, but he’s lost his drive and protection, like he’s unarmed against life. People say he’s been spotted driving around alone, talking to himself, wishing he could slow life down. It’s like he’s stuck in a loop he can’t escape from. The song toasts to him as if he’s already gone, even though he’s physically alive, hinting that the real him might never return. There’s this mix of sadness, confusion, and helplessness all at once.
[Post-Chorus: Scrim]
This quick bit hits hard—time slips by, and once someone’s lost in themselves like that, it might be too late to bring them back.
[Verse: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Here, the song dives deeper into the guy’s inner world. People say he’s scared of love and doesn’t really feel much anymore. He’s living recklessly, almost like he wants to disappear without being found. The place he used to sit is empty, and he’s always distant, always alone. He’s closed off, even dangerous in how he isolates himself, and he hides behind lies. Inside his mind, it’s chaos—he can’t find any peace or support. Life puts pressure on him, but no one seems to care until he vanishes again. The pain in his eyes shows what he’s really going through, and even though people are scared he might die, the sad truth is, emotionally, he already has.
[Pre-Chorus: Lily Kaplan & Scrim]
This is another cry for help. The person’s slipping again, numb and hollow, and maybe using pills just to feel anything at all. They’re begging someone to notice, to say something, to pull them back.
[Chorus: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Just like before, it brings back that image of someone who’s lost but still wandering around. He’s clinging to the past but seems unlikely to return to the people who care. It’s a tragic loop—everyone watching him fade but feeling powerless to stop it. The line about another round feels like raising a glass in his memory, even though he’s still out there somewhere, broken and unreachable.
[Post-Chorus: Scrim]
A short but powerful reminder again: don’t waste your life away, because once someone’s gone like that—mentally or emotionally—there might be no saving them.
[Outro: Lily Kaplan & Chanté Marie]
This last part feels like grief. The person left behind has seen beauty and lights all over the world, but none of it matters without the one they love. They feel empty and heartbroken, missing that soul who’s now just a ghost in their life.
