Invisible Things
Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that we felt when we were kids?
Wonder if that place still exists, mmm
We lived for the moment
And few words are stranger to our lips
I wonder if that place still exists
Felt fire without matches
Made promises without fear of getting burned
Now we're always second guessing
We think happy is expensive
But every time I'm with you I re-learn
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
It's the way that I feel when I, when I hold you close
'Cause everything else, oh, it comes and goes
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
So let me hold you close
So let me hold you close
Do you remember
The last time you felt something like this?
The way that it felt when we were kids
Yeah, we built castles out of couches
Felt fire without matches
Made promises without fear of getting burned
Now we're always second guessing
We think happy is expensive
But every time I'm with you I re-learn
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
It's the way that I feel when I, when I hold you close
'Cause everything else, oh, it comes and goes
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
So let me hold you close
So let me hold you close
So let me hold you close
Way I feel and the way we kiss
Swear that nothing else
In the world exists
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
It's the way that I feel when I, when I hold you close
'Cause everything that was, oh, it comes and goes
It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most
So let me hold you close
The way I feel and the way we kiss
Swear that nothing else
In the world exists
'Cause I'ma cross my heart
If we both forget
To leave out the dark
And remember this
(All you need is someone, all you need is someone)
The song “Invisible Things” by Lauv, talks about remembering a time when things were simpler and more innocent. The lyrics question whether the same kind of carefree and loving atmosphere still exists in the world. It speaks to that time when everyone had a sense of adventure, optimism, and freedom, before responsibilities, worries, and fear of getting hurt warped our beliefs about happiness. It talks about how we have to re-learn the true meaning of happiness; it’s not tangible things that come and go, but the invisible things like emotions, feelings, and love that are constant and valuable. Lauv leans on this concept of how it's the invisible things that matter most in life, which include the joys of love, connection, and laughter.
The opening lines reflect the mood of nostalgia that remains throughout the song. ‘Do you still remember the way that we felt when we were kids?’ talks about the hope of returning to a simpler, happier time. The lyrics 'we lived for the moment, few words are stranger to our lips' means that words like deadlines, bills, and responsibilities didn't burden our time then since we lived free-flowing and in the moment. The build castles and felt fire without matches metaphors refers to the carefree and imaginative mindset that anyone has during childhood. Lauv also acknowledges that as adults, everyone tends to lose a sense of what matters most in life, but people can always rediscover it through love.

In case we forget
To leave out the dark
To forget our troubles and sorrows
And remember this
But remember this
(All you need is someone, all you need is someone)
(You only need someone)

(PS I JUST WROTE A SONG ON THIS THEME! WILL RELEASE IT SOON! I relate so hard to this longing of childhood innocence...I feel nostalgic thinking back to those days. I had lots of trauma in my childhood, and yet I was still curious and creative and mostly free of fear...I miss those days and I pray for more days like them, no matter how old i get!)
@kanakrawat
This man filmed a music video for every song on his album. Mad respect.
Edit: I am aware they're not official MUSIC VIDEOS but just visualizers. Please don't bother to reply that to me to correct my knowledge.
@aldrinpraveen9169
It's audio
@paul6801
@Aldrin Praveen You are blind.
@laravangenderen4483
And named it audio’s , i mean do we even deserve this lmao
@rahuldhargalkar
Hey fellow Indian! Have you heard Lauv's Bollywood Collab?
@sethbowling
@Aldrin Praveen Music is audio. It's a YouTube video with music. I'd call that a music video... or, I guess you can call it an audio video if you want, but the definition of a video is visuals and audio, so it's redundant. Regardless of what you call it, it's his official audio in the background.
@fayth2438
i feel like this song is about how we used to be so carefree when we were young as children, how our 'happiness' came much more easily because we defined our happiness based on the simplicity of the things we loved to do like our hobbies, and we even enjoyed imagining ourselves in a fantasy world. we held these close to our heart. however as we grew up, we started to lose sight of these "invisible things", the small things that we used to enjoy doing, because we're all so caught up in other things like doubting ourselves, second-guessing everything, overthinking, and we forget that these things still exist in our lives. I think this song is to remind us of how the little things that used to bring us joy are still present and here with us, and we can be grateful for these invisible things that will forever be a part of us ❤
