Invisible Man
7 $ Sox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
go with me to the dance after school
You told me no
Looked through me as if I were a hole
In front of you
Here I am
They call me the invisible man
I hired a plane
to fly up in the sky and write our names
That's when we made eye contact
And that's when you walked away
In front of you
here I am
they call me the invisible man
In front of you
here I am
they call me the invisible man
I don't need her
Cause I got you
I don't need her
Cause I got you
In front of you
here I am
they call me the invisible man
In front of you
here I am
They call me the invisible man
In front of you
here I am
They call me the invisible man
The lyrics to 7 $ Sox's song Invisible Man convey the feeling of rejection and invisibility. The singer of the song asks someone to go to the dance with him after school, but is promptly rejected. The rejection is so harsh that the singer feels as if he is invisible, as if he doesn't matter at all. The feeling of invisibility is further emphasized as the singer hires a plane to write their names in the sky, hoping to gain the attention of the person who rejected him. However, the person still walks away, leaving the singer feeling invisible once again. The repetition of the line "in front of you, here I am, they call me the invisible man" drives home the feeling of being overlooked and unimportant.
This song can be interpreted as a commentary on the experience of being invisible in society, whether due to societal hierarchies or personal insecurities. The singer's feelings of invisibility may represent the feelings of individuals who feel ignored or overlooked in their daily lives. The song may also represent the power dynamics in romantic relationships and the feelings of rejection that come with it.

I asked you to go with me to the dance after school
I requested your company for the school dance
You told me no
You declined my invitation
Looked through me as if I were a hole
You ignored me completely
In front of you here I am they call me the invisible man
Even though I am standing right in front of you, you treat me as if I am invisible
I hired a plane to fly up in the sky and write our names
I made a grand gesture to show my affection for you
That's when we made eye contact
We finally looked at each other
And that's when you walked away
But you still rejected me and left
I don't need her cause I got you
I do not need anyone else as long as I have you
In front of you here I am they call me the invisible man
Despite being in your presence, I feel unnoticed and disregarded
In front of you here I am they call me the invisible man
The repetition emphasizes the theme of feeling invisible and overlooked
