You Are Invisible
Anya Marina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It's not evil, but it's physical
Sometimes, it's like you are invisible
I got something I can never tell
It's not evil, but it's physical
Sometimes, it's like you are invisible
I got something of the highest grade
It's not something I would ever trade
Sometimes, it's like we are invincible
It's like the sound of a drone
Coming through a telescope
Like desire, all alone
Creeping through an open window
Inside the doorway in your quiet room
Outright doing what you gotta do
Sometimes, it's like you are invisible
Like when you were small
In the ice, playing with sticks and stones
Fuckin' around, didn't know
Fear from your little toe, oh, oh, oh...
When you were small...
In the ice...
Like when you were small
In the ice, playing with sticks and stones...
The lyrics of the song "You Are Invisible" by Anya Marina seems to be about a secret that the singer is holding onto. She has something physical that she can never tell, indicating that it is secretive and possibly even taboo. However, she assures the listener that it is not evil but rather something that is of the highest grade and of great value.
There is a repetition of the line "sometimes, it's like you are invisible", which impacts the song's overall meaning. The singer mentions that the sensation is similar to the sound of a drone or the feeling of desire creeping through an open window - something that might go unnoticed or ignored. She goes on to describe how the feeling is similar to being small and playing in the ice with sticks and stones, a time when one was carefree and unburdened by the weight of the world's expectations.
Overall, the song captures a mood of secrecy, vulnerability, and isolation. It seems to suggest that even though we might have deep-seated emotions or experiences, they can go unnoticed or ignored, turning us invisible. This can leave us feeling lonely, misunderstood and disconnected from the people around us.
