Invisible
A Toys Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Invisible
I wish I was invisible
and feign to be the wind
...And slam the doors
whenever you stay home alone
and blow away
the farewell letters
cause I can't believe!

...I can't believe!
But I'm triyng
unremarkable
just another roll of flaws
a birthday cake
without candles
...But I'm the wind
that breaks off the cross
I'm the wind
and finally I scream!
I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe!
I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe!
I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe!
I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe!
...But I'm triyng
and I don't mind where and why
...I'm triyng
and I don't care what I'm praying
I'm a liar!
...But I'm invisible

please! Please!
Let me believe this

Line by Line Meaning

I wish I was invisible
I long to be unnoticed and unseen

and feign to be the wind
and pretend to be the wind, intangible and ethereal

...And slam the doors
and create disturbance by forcefully shutting doors

whenever you stay home alone
when you are alone at home

and blow away
and scatter

the farewell letters
the letters of goodbye

cause I can't believe!
because I am unable to believe!

...But I'm triyng
Still, I try

unremarkable
unspecial, ordinary

just another roll of flaws
merely a collection of imperfections

a birthday cake
a special dessert to celebrate a birth anniversary
