It was released from their seventh studio album One More Light. The song was written by Mike Shinoda and Justin Parker. The song is sung by Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington on backing vocals. The song premiered on May 10, 2017 at Zane Lowe's World Record show on Beats 1.

Mike Shinoda met with English songwriter and producer Justin Parker in London for a writing session during The Hunting Party Tour. Shinoda later told Ticketmaster, "I did a couple of stopovers in London on the way back from the Hunting Party tour and worked with two different songwriters and really enjoyed it. I thought it was super fun and saw merit in keeping that going. I took the songs back to the band and asked them what they thought. They loved the material, first and foremost." One of those tracks was "Invisible", a song that deals with Shinoda wanting to concentrate on being a father.

Throughout the process, both Shinoda and Bennington recorded vocals for the song, but since "Invisible" is Shinoda's story, he decided he should be the one singing on the final version. The song was written about his kids and the thought that when they get older and become teenagers, it will be harder to discipline them. According to him, "Invisible" sends the listener to that moment when, in a parental or mentoring situation, you have to tell your kids something they don't wanna hear and you want them to know you're doing it because you care, not because you want to hurt their feelings.

I was not mad at you
I was not trying to tear you down

I was too scared to say out loud
If I cannot break your fall
I'll pick you up right off the ground
If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now

And in spite of all I should've done

In the second half of the song, the focus turns to the other person's feelings. The singer acknowledges that the other person also has a lot to say and wants to be heard.

Line by Line Meaning

I've got an aching head
I'm feeling overwhelmed and my thoughts are scattered

Echoes and buzzing noises
My mind won't stop racing and I can't focus

I know the words we said
I remember what was said between us

But wish I could've turned our voices down
But I wish our conversation would have been more peaceful

This is not black and white
The situation is not clear-cut and there are shades of gray

Only organize confusion
It's a mess, but I'm trying to make sense of it

I'm just trying to get it right
I'm doing my best to make things better

And in spite of all I should've done
Even though I could have done more

I was not mad at you
I wasn't angry with you

I was not trying to tear you down
I wasn't trying to hurt you

The words that I could've used
There were things I could have said

I was too scared to say out loud
But I was afraid to say them

If I cannot break your fall
If you stumble and fall

I'll pick you up right off the ground
I'll help you back up

If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now
If you felt like no one was listening to you or seeing you, I want you to know that I am here for you and I care about you

You didn't get your way
You didn't get what you wanted

And it's an empty feeling
And that can be a disappointing and unsatisfying feeling

You've got a lot to say
You have a lot to express and communicate

And you just want to know you're being heard
And you want to know that someone is listening to you

There are no clear solutions
There is no easy answer

Invisible
Feeling unnoticed, ignored, or unimportant

@Whodat__whodat

MrBlamazing Get this right, suicide is NOT a selfish act, it is a mental illness and/or an addiction took over despite the person wanting their life back, STOP talking shits when you don't know what one has been through, shut up and leave here if you don't like him, could you even show some respects to the dead? He's not with us anymore, we all came here to enjoy his ever LAST album in his life and remembering him, if you wanna talk shits,GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Me and my son went through about a year long fight where we didnt talk to each other and he sent me this song while I was at work and I broke down crying and got sent home but on the way home it played in my Pandora and I knew what I had to do I went to see my son and when I got the there he came running out of his front door and gave me a hug and we stood there crying for 10 minutes and I just want to thank Chester for what he did for my life may he rest in the peace his lyrics brought to people like me.

I´m a fan of Linkin Park since 1999 and really had my thoughts about "One more Light" at the beginning. But now as I´m a 35 year old married man who struggles a lot with Depression sometimes I really admire this album more and more. It became my favourite one over the last 3 years. It´s really haunting and yet so inspiring...as if Chester knew this was his last work, what you can really hear and see in "Heavy" and "One more Light". I will NEVER get tired of this Band <3 <3 <3 Thank you LP, for EVERYTHING

People think for some reason being a true fan you have to love everything they do and that's blind loyalty. Feedback is what makes people successful....suck if people saying if you don't like their new direction you were never a true fan and it's bull. Just being real...doesn't mean they don't like the band. I'm not all of a sudden going to love the music but I respect the lyrics. Rip Chester

I know my grammar is not right because english is not my first language ( sorry about that ). I just want to say, thank you chester for giving me hope.

Chester's inner demons and struggles were invisible to almost all who listened to his songs. He was not mad at us, we weren't trying to tear him down, the words he could have used he was too scared to say out loud, if his songs didn't break our fall they would pick us off the ground. We realized it too late. We don't know what we had....until it's gone....forever...we miss you Chester. You were not just one more light. We cared when you were taken from us too soon.

After being translated and interpreted, the meaning of the song Invisible from Linkin Park, tells about the songwriter who constantly wants to advise the people he loves (whether lovers, whether family, or friends). It seemed that the person he loved had done something bad, which made him depressed. That's why the songwriter wanted to advise him, in a low voice, not to make him feel guilty.

Views and quality is often enough inversely proportional...

I agree, I Feel this album is the most mature in terms of their lyrics, but I also feel that the album suffered the shadow of the tragedy that left Chester's death, so I think that some true LP fans find this album hard to hear (still great though).

Because it has no nudity, no glamour and no show off.

Agree this is one of my favourite albums from lp, for me the best are minutes to midnight, the hunting party and one more light

Joe, Rob, Mike, Dave, Brad, Kyle...anyone else involved. I love you guys. Since Hybrid Theory was played until I downloaded One More Light. Keep the beats going, remember, and love. Forever a fan, RIP Chester.
