Meaning
The lyrics speak of a person who feels exposed and judged by the eyes of others, leading to a sense of shame and a desire to hide or disappear. The “cute” facade is contrasted with an underlying feeling of guilt or sin. The speaker feels like they are falling apart, both physically and emotionally, and is apologetic for this state.
The plea to “not look” suggests a desire for privacy and a fear of being seen for who they really are. They feel like a “phantom flower” that has bloomed, a metaphor that could imply a transient beauty or something that appears beautiful but is, in reality, a distortion or a facade.
The final lines express a longing to return to a state of innocence or potential (“to the bud”), which is now unattainable. The repetition of “disappear” emphasizes a strong desire to escape the current situation.
Please note that without the context of the entire song, this is a general interpretation based on the provided lyrics. The actual meaning could be more nuanced or have specific references that are not clear from this excerpt.
