Invisible
Buddahead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This city is shivering.
She exhales and her breath lingers.
May is close but winter is still here.
The April rains beat down on her.

She lifts her face into the light.
She breaks her silence and cries.
I'm breathing in and breathing out.
Invisible but I'm still alive.
The clouds are like a blanket
In the sky stretching tight above her.
She is cold but hanging in there.
She's got herself whatever self she may be.

She lifts her face into the light.
She breaks her silence and cries.




I'm breathing in and breathing out.
Invisible but I'm still alive

Overall Meaning

Buddahead's "Invisible" is a song that describes the feeling of being alone and powerless in a big city. The song opens with the city shivering, portraying the coldness and isolation that the singer feels in the urban landscape. May is close, but the winter still lingers, and the April rains beat down on her, emphasizing the harshness of the city's climate.


The singer's loneliness is highlighted when she lifts her face into the light and cries, breaking her silence. Despite feeling invisible and helpless, she is still breathing in and breathing out, alive but not truly living. The clouds above her are like a blanket, stretching tight and creating a sense of claustrophobia, but she hangs in there, drawing strength from the self she has become.


The song's lyrics are powerful and emotive, and the gentle, melodic composition supports the sense of melancholy and longing underlying the words. Buddahead's "Invisible" is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and a poignant reminder that we are all, in some way, invisible.

Thank you for uploading this music to YouTube. This has always been an album that's very close to my heart. I remember growing up on this music and it brings back a lot of good memories. I actually own a CD of this album that my dad bought and handed down to me. Over the years I've tried to look up lyric videos or find this album and was disappointed with how hard it seemed to get ahold of a digital copy to enjoy. I've always felt this was a seriously underrated band and now I know I can find it here when I need. Thanks for making my day. 💜
