Invisible Man
Hörstreich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
put me back to coma, it's the most that i can take
let me faint so i can gently fade away
let me faint so i can slowly disappear
bits and pieces that get lost in stormy weather
disconnected they dissolve to atmosphere
ref.: don't panic it's real
trust in fate and let the chemicals decide
surrender to the slumber, dive and slip away
it's not a matter of lust
it's not a matter of who you think is sane
the first time is like being dragged under waves
ref.
if you think faking more than you can take is
like trying to stop a train
then take a deep breath, you can take what is left
you're far too tired to run away
what you see isn't what you will get and even
what you get isn't what you expect
invincible invisible
taste the pins and taste the needles on my tongue
breathe the loss of weight that's been taken from my lung
it's not a matter of lust
it's not a matter of who you think is sane
in coma lies a truth that's lost it's pain
touch the soul of the invisible man
touch the soul of the invisible man
don't panic it's real
The lyrics of "Invisible Man" by Hörstreich describe a state of wanting to escape reality, to essentially fade away from life's troubles through deep sleep or coma. The singer yearns to be put back to sleep before he breaks or gets overwhelmed by the harshness of life. The song also delves into the idea of not being able to handle reality without chemical assistance, which may suggest a dependence on drugs to cope with the hardships of life. The chorus reassures the listener not to panic as the desire to escape is real, and the instinct to trust fate and allow chemicals to decide one's state may be a form of surrender to that reality as it is.
The lyrics also touch on a deeper existential theme, where the identity of the person seems to be fading away like bits and pieces in a storm. This suggests a sense of disconnection and dissociation from reality, and the desire to escape could be viewed as a way to rectify that feeling. The last verse brings a sense of acceptance, as the idea of being invincible, immaterial and invisible seems to offer comfort in knowing that the pain in reality can be alleviated.
