- This article is about the song. For the live bootleg, see I Want to Disappear (bootleg).
"I Want to Disappear" is the eighth track on the 1998 release Mechanical Animals. The song is introduced during the outro of "Posthuman" by an digitized voice who announces to a roaring crowd that Omega and the Mechanical Animals (the fictional band in the album's narrative) are about to perform, at which point "I Want to Disappear" begins. This implies that "I Want to Disappear" is a song that was "recorded live" like "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" and "Born Again", though unlike the other two songs, there is no mention of it being recorded on February 14th in the liner notes.

[edit] Lyrics
Look at me now
Got no religion
Look at me now
I'm so vacant
Look at me now
I was a virgin
Look at me now
Grew up to be a whore
And I want it
I believe it
I'm a million different things
And not one you know
Hey and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know
I wanna disappear
I wanna die young
And sell my soul
Use up all your drugs
And make me come
Yesterday man,
I was a nihilist and
Now today I'm
Just too fucking bored
By the time I'm old enough
I won't know anything at all
Hey and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know
I wanna disappear
