Invisible Man
Eddie Willis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you see I can't help myself?
You know you really got a hold on me
I need your love, wear jaded gold
For once in my life, do you love me?

All this time you let me spin
(You let me spin)
But you don't know who I am
(Know who I am)

I am the one who did it for you
(Did it for you)
I'm the invisible man

All this love, got to give it up
But you keep me hanging on
Tell me, girl, what's going on?
Don't you know it's the same old song?

All this time you let me spin
(You let me spin)
But you don't know who I am
(Know who I am)

I am the one who did it for you
(Did it for you)
I'm the invisible man

I'm pulling the strings
In the shadows, behind the scenes
I'm keeping the beat
Before you know it, you'll be on your feet
Dancing in the street

All this time you let me spin
(You let me spin)
But you don't know who I am
Can't you see?
(Know who I am)

I am the one who did it for you
(Did it for you)
I'm the invisible man

All this time you watched me spin
(You let me spin)
But you don't know who I am
(Know who I am)

(I'm the one)




I am the one who did it for you
I'm the invisible man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eddie Willis's song "Invisible Man" reflect the feelings of a man who is deeply in love with someone who may not recognize him. The first verse speaks of his inability to control his emotions and how this person has a strong hold on him. He pleads with her by asking to be loved, even if it's just once in his lifetime. However, he feels invisible to her, as all his efforts for her go unnoticed.


The chorus reveals how the singer of the song feels that he has been invisible all the time, but still did everything he could for her. He has given everything he has got but still feels invisible as she doesn't give him the attention he deserves. Through the second verse, he questions her intentions, as he has given her all his love, but she still keeps him "hanging on." He feels that he is being left behind, and he cannot move on from her.


In the bridge, he reveals how he is the one behind the scenes, and he pulls the strings, giving her the beat to dance with. Despite all this, he feels invisible and asks her to see him for who he is.


The song is a representation of the feeling of being invisible to someone you love. It talks about how a person can give so much yet feel like they are not being recognized.
