Look Right Through
Storm Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk to me (babe)
Talk to me (babe)
Talk to me (babe)
I'm quite sure
That you never knew
All the pain that I've been through
Even this morning
Looked outside my door
For your letter on the floor
Seven long years
Of moving through the streets
Letting people in
But they don't talk to me
They look right through
That morning
But they don't talk to me
That morning
But they don't talk to me
That morning
But they don't talk to me
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
Sun comes up, I'm alone again
With the lights on in my head
Still loves us the wing, from my little room
'Cause I gotta go back soon
Other people's lives, all the long goodbyes
Watching in the mirror with longing in my eyes
They look right through
That morning
But they don't talk to me
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
That morning
But they don't talk to me
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
How can you change your mind?
Look right through me all the time
I'm gonna give you every part of me
But you just wanted to be free, yeah
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (Just like you)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (Just like you)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
Just like you (Just like you)
They're looking right through me (They look right through)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (Just like you)
That morning
But they don't talk to me (They look right through)
The lyrics of Storm Queen's "Look Right Through" reveal the singer's feeling of loneliness and disconnection from society. The repetition of "Talk to me, babe" highlights the singer's desperation and desire for human connection. The following lines describe how the singer has been moving through the streets, letting people into their life but feeling like they are being looked right through. It suggests a feeling of invisibility, as if the singer is not being seen for who they are.
The second verse deepens the feeling of isolation, as the singer spends their days alone with only their thoughts for company. The use of the metaphor of "the lights on in my head" suggests a person with a vivid imagination, but one that has been running on empty for too long. The line "Still loves us the wing, from my little room/Cause I gotta go back soon" suggest that while the singer may long for connection, they still have their own life to live and responsibilities to tend to.
The chorus repeats the idea that despite being in the middle of a busy street or community, the singer remains unseen and unheard by others. There is a clear sense of sadness and frustration in the repetition of "That morning, but they don't talk to me" followed by "Just like you". It suggests that the singer could be speaking directly to someone who has hurt them in the past.
Overall, "Look Right Through" is a poignant reflection on the human need for connection and the sense of isolation that can result from feeling disconnected from others.

"Look Right Through"
Talk to me, baby
Talk to me, baby
Talk to me, baby
Talk to me, baby.
I'm quite sure,
that you never knew,
All the pain that I've been through.
Even this morning,
looked outside my door,
For your letter on the floor,
Seven long years,
Of moving on the streets,
Letting people in,
But they don't talk to me,
[Chorus]
They look right through,
That morning,
They don't talk to me me right,
That morning,
They don't talk to me me right,
That morning,
They don't talk to me me right,
That morning,
They don't talk to me me right,
That morning,
They don't talk to me me right,
That morning,
They don't talk to me,
They look right through.
Sun comes up,
I'm alone again,
With the lights on in my head,
Still hours away,
From my little room,
'Cos I gotta go back soon,
Other people's lives,
All along goodbyes,
Watching in the mirror,
With longing in my eyes,
[Chorus]
Why can't you change your mind?
Look right through me all the time,
I'm gonna give you every part of me,
But you just wanted to be free yeah,
[Chorus]
Just like you (just like you)
Look right through me (look right through)
[Chorus]
