Invisible
Grace Davies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna talk about it
There isn't much to say
I don't have an excuse to why I won't come to your party
And I don't want my picture taken
I'd hate it anyway
No I don't want to spoil your night
Just go have fun without me
I'm pushing food around my plate
'Cause my father said I'm overweight
Well maybe he'd feel better
If I just disappeared all together
And I got so good at faking smiles
I can do it for a little while
Just don't ask me if I'm okay
'Cause I'm not okay

It's hard to show you something
Invisible
No tears, no scars, no bruises
It's not physical
It's covered up and hidden tight beneath the skin
Inside the mind
You wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't even know
Invisible, invisible, invisible

I don't want to shout about it
Make it about me
'Cause they've already aired all of my problems on TV
Got everything I ever wanted
But nothing that I need
If anything it's just another reason I feel guilty

And I don't really cry no more
Guess I'm just used to insecure
Just don't ask me if I'm okay cause I'm not okay

It's hard to show you something
Invisible
No tears, no scars, no bruises
It's not physical
It's covered up and hidden tight beneath the skin
Inside the mind
You wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't even know
Invisible, invisible, invisible

I'm standing under all the lights
The focus of a thousand eyes
You wouldn't even notice




You wouldn't even know, I feel invisible
Invisible, invisible

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grace Davies's song "Invisible" shed light on the inner struggles of someone who is suffering from mental health issues. The singer feels isolated and detached from the world and people around them. The song suggests that even though the singer appears fine on the outside, he/she is actually struggling with mental and emotional pain that is hiding beneath the surface.


The first verse of the song signifies the singer's awareness that something is wrong but is not ready to talk about it yet. The second verse portrays the singer's struggle with self-image and negative thoughts that they have internalized from others' comments. The singer is unable to express their internal suffering and chooses to fake a smile to avoid scrutiny. The chorus highlights the fact that mental health issues are "invisible"; they are not visible to the naked eye and often go unnoticed by others. The last verse emphasizes how the singer is finding it challenging to enjoy their success, and it's making them feel guilty. They are standing under the spotlight but still invisible and alone.
