I don't know how much my songs are worth--emotionally and or financially--to you? On itunes you pay .99 cents for one of them. To some that is way too much and to others that is way too little. Here you can download as many of my songs as you'd like and YOU determine the value. I don't care if you download 20 songs and donate $3.00 or if you download 1 song and donate $100.00. The only care I have is that you care. These songs, like life, are far from perfect. Some are recorded professionally, with $20,000 microphones. Others are recorded at home with cars and birds in the background. Either way, I hope you can listen to the meaning and not just the sound. I appreciate your support and interest. Songs will constantly be added and replaced so feel free to visit often.

Invisible
Colby Stead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard your voice call, I didn't hear it.
You were invisible to me.
You showed me your fear, I didn't see it.
You were invisible to me,
You were invisible.
So, you lowered your head,
Tear from your eye,
Softly it said that you,
You did not need this,
So you took my hand
And it gave it a kiss bye.
Taught me something, I didn't try it.
Sold me nothing, I didn't buy it.
You were invisible to me.
Held your hand out,
I didn't hold it.
You knew without a doubt,
I didn't know it.
You were invisible to me,
You were invisible.
So, you lowered your head,
Tear from your eye,
Softly it said that you,
You did not need this,
So you took my hand
And it gave it a kiss,
You gave it a kiss bye.
Why could I tell that your heart, it fell,
Why couldn't I tell?
Why couldn't I see you next to me,
Why couldn't I see? (repeat x2)
Bye.
The song "Invisible" by Colby Stead is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship where the singer failed to see and understand the emotions of their partner. The lyrics convey regret and sorrow for not being able to connect with the other person and take notice of their struggles. The repetition of "You were invisible to me" highlights the detachment and lack of understanding between the two individuals. The use of repetition also indicates that the singer is haunted by this realization, which further emphasizes their regret.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant as it describes how the partner tries to leave, and the singer finally grasps the depths of their emotions. The line "So, you lowered your head, Tear from your eye, Softly it said that you, You did not need this" conveys a sense of resignation on the partner's part, as if they had been trying to communicate their pain for a long time, but the singer was unable to perceive it. The final lines of the song, "Why couldn't I tell that your heart, it fell, Why couldn't I tell? Why couldn't I see you next to me, Why couldn't I see?" express a sense of frustration and question the singer's inability to recognize the signs of a failing relationship.
Overall, "Invisible" is a moving song that speaks to the common experience of not seeing or understanding the emotions of our loved ones until it's too late.

Reading his autopsy results and seeing the sketches of what was left from their bodies was just horrible. I’m so glad it was likely a quick death.
