Something Is Missing

Something Is Missing is a Twitter gimmick account that posts famous memes with their key component edited out, similar to What If It All Was Just a Dream? meme format. The page gained viral popularity in June 2021.

But If You Close Your Eyes

But If You Close Your Eyes are the lyrics of the chorus of the 2013 song "Pompeii" by English band Bastille. The song's chorus became a meme in August 2020 after being used in videos of countries and regions disappearing from maps.
