Monsters Invisible
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

Woah, Woah, Are you out there?
Asking if the listener is there and acknowledging that things seem distant.

Woah, Woah, Are you listening at all?
Questioning whether or not the listener is paying attention.

It's hard to believe I cannot exist without you
Expressing a deep emotional dependence on the listener.

As hard as I've tried, I cannot confess completely, yeah
Admitting that it is difficult for the artist to open up.

These words were not meant to induce acts of likewise behavior (behavior)
Clarifying that the artist is not trying to manipulate the listener.

It's just part of the curse I'm just trying to stay alive
Explaining that the singer is struggling to cope with their emotions.

It's hard to admit, my weaknesses can consume me
Acknowledging that the singer's flaws can be overwhelming.

I search for the cure in the bottles of varied volumes, yeah
Describing how the artist tries to cope through substance use.

The joke of it is I express myself without purpose (A purpose for living)
Realizing that their actions are often aimless.

Yet you devour my small bits of madness and make believe
Pointing out the listener's tendency to indulge the artist's fantasies.

If I can pretend, I don't depend
Suggesting that the singer sometimes pretends to be self-sufficient.

I can deny, deny denial
Emphasizing how the artist tries to push away their emotions.

Yet when push comes to shove, and all the above I decide to live the lie
Admitting that the singer often succumbs to their deception.

Woah, Woah, Can you hear me?
Continuing to ask if the listener is present and listening.

Woah, Woah, Are you listening to anything I said?
Repeating the question from earlier to emphasize how the singer feels unheard.
