Transparent
Cleen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come out of the underground
Totally overdosed
Puzzled and confused
Just knowing what I want
If this is what I want
To be sure about anything
Watching my past
As it smiles ot me
On photos that I wish to be burnt
And I would rise out of the ash
Like God knows who

So I'm ready to be
Immortalized by media
By the public eye I'm yours
Handle me with anger
Handle me with love
Treat me like your enemy
I'm just existing on TV
So if you sample me
Do it carefully

I'm expanding
I'm spreading my visions
I am someone
No one knows my little secret
I just know how to hide my weaknesses
But I'm dissolving




I'm transparent in the stage light
My visions are invisible
