Invisible
Anna Clendening Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Avoiding this disaster
Seemed impossible
My heart is beating faster
Fast as it can go
'Cause I'm overthinking every word
That was never said or heard
Happy ever after?
I don't think so
I'm in love with someone who doesn't know I exist
I stare from afar in my hand-broken heart while I play pretend
I'm in love with someone who doesn't know I exist
And it's you, yes, it's true, you don't even know it, I can't ever win

Am I invisible?
Should I let it go?
Would you ever know?
Am I just another crazy laying on the low?
Am I invisible?
Will you ever see what you do to me?
Breaking hearts in the dark so easily
Am I invisible?

Tangled up and tongue-tied
What have I become?
Always got you on my mind
Got me feeling dumb
And I'm tripping over my own feet
And I'm mad you got the best of me
Falling for you slowly
From a distance

I'm in love with someone who doesn't know I exist
I stare from afar in my hand-broken heart while I play pretend
I'm in love with someone who doesn't know I exist
And it's you, yes, it's true, you don't even know it, I can't ever win
Am I invisible?
Should I let it go? Would you ever know?
Am I just another crazy laying on the low?
Am I invisible?
Will you ever see what you do to me?
Breaking hearts in the dark so easily
Am I invisible?

(Am I invisible?)
(Am I invisible?)
I'm in love with someone who doesn't know I exist
And it's you, yes, it's true, you don't even know it, I can't ever win

Am I invisible?
Should I let it go? Would you ever know?
Am I just another crazy laying on the low?
Am I invisible?
Will you ever see what you do to me?




Breaking hearts in the dark so easily
Am I invisible?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anna Clendening's song "Invisible" are about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer is in love with someone who doesn't even know they exist. They are obsessively overthinking every word that was never said or heard and are left wondering if they are invisible to the person they love. The chorus repeats the question "Am I invisible?" several times, highlighting the singer's feelings of loneliness and insecurity. They are also aware that it is unlikely that their love will ever be reciprocated, and they feel helpless and powerless in the situation. The bridge speaks to the physical and emotional entanglement that the singer is experiencing, by using the metaphor of being "tangled up and tongue-tied."


The song also touches on the negative effects that unrequited love can have on a person's mental health. The singer wonders if they are just another crazy person in love, laying low and hiding their true feelings. They are aware of the heartbreak that this love is causing them, and the song suggests that the person they love is breaking hearts in the dark so easily, possibly without even realizing it.


Overall, "Invisible" is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of unrequited love and the frustration of feeling invisible and powerless.
