Missing Person is a single by Bladee, initially only released on YouTube and SoundCloud on November 17th, 2015. An alternate mix was officially released on other platforms as the fourth track of Bladee's second studio album Eversince, released on May 25th, 2016. It was produced by Whitearmor.
Initial release
The song was uploaded to Bladee's 1sleep23 YouTube channel and the Drain Gang SoundCloud on November 17th, 2015. The cover featured Bladee depicted on a missing person poster, taped to a wall with his and Whitearmor's tags graffitied on it. Interestingly, there are two versions of the cover, with the SoundCloud version showing Bladee's height in the infobox on the poster to be 6'2", and the YouTube version showing it as 6'0".
SoundCloud
YouTube
Likely due to copyright issues, the original YouTube upload became unavailable at some point in 2016. It was made available again in May of 2022.
Album release
The track was then included on the album Eversince as a different version with a clearer mix and slightly edited vocals. This version was available on all relevant streaming platforms, rather than just YouTube and SoundCloud.
Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
[Chorus]
Missing person, I'm a missing person
I'm gone, that's for certain
If they love me I might hurt them
So I stay behind the curtains
Missing person, I'm a missing person
I'm gone, that's for certain
You won't find me, so stop searching
I stay low-key when I'm lurking
[Verse]
I quit life, wasn't working
The whole world full of serpents
If you cross me then you're cursed, man
Cut your face off like a surgeon
Off the grid, gone off detergents
I can't be seen, it's disturbing
I don't go out 'cause I'm nervous
I won't come back to this world, man
You wanna know what love is?
You wanna know what it feels like?
Wanted to see you in that light
Now I'm too deep in the night
I'm just ash now, I've been burning
When it's rain out, then I'm surfing
Know it's late now, but I'm learning
Everything calm on the surface
[Chorus]
Missing person, I'm a missing person
I'm gone, that's for certain
If they love me, I might hurt them
So I stay behind the curtain
Missing person, I'm a missing person
I'm gone, that's for certain
You won't find me, so stop searching
I stay low-key when I'm lurking
[Outro]
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone
