Lovelife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hope is a fragile word
The rain came down but no one heard
You didn't sleep, you just lay in your bed
Trying to think of the words to say
By the time you did it was way too late
Something inside of me tells me you made a mistake
An easy risk to take
The breathe down the back of your neck
Like a song that you can't forget
The words will stay with you till death
Where you are, are you happier now
Where the streets don't seem so loud
You sit and think, so what now
Something inside of me tells me you made a mistake
An easy risk to take
I wanna go home, you said
Something inside of me tells me it won't be long
Before you tell someone you wish you weren't home
Follow me down, down to the place where
Place where we would never get lost
Whatever you see, will never be unseen, unheard, invisible
Invisible, invisible
There's a journey, there's no destination
It takes time and just a little patience
There's a point where you show what you're made of
You're just a shade of invisible
Something inside of me tells me you made a mistake
An easy risk to take
I wanna go home, you said
Something inside of me tells me it won't be long
Before you tell someone you wish you weren't home
Follow me down, down to the place where
Place where we would never get lost
Whatever you see, will never be unseen, unheard, invisible
Follow me down, down to the place where
Place where we would never get lost
Whatever you see, will never be unseen, unheard, invisible
Invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible
The song "Invisible" by Lovelife is a reflective and introspective ballad reflecting on the fragility of hope, the weight of regret, and the desire for a place to call home. Throughout the song lyrics, the listener is taken through a journey of emotions and thoughts that reflect on the idea that sometimes it's easy to make mistakes or take risks that can end up changing one's life. As the song begins, the singer finds themselves in a room that feels bigger than what they remember, and they almost feel invisible. They mention that "hope is a fragile word," which lends to the idea that sometimes, hope can be lost suddenly and without warning. The singer also mentions that nobody heard the rain that came down, which reinforces the idea that sometimes, even the things we think are significant can pass unnoticed.
The chorus of "Invisible" speaks to the fact that there is something inside of the singer that tells them they've made a mistake, and it's an easy risk to take. The idea that one can almost feel that they've made a mistake before it's too late is a common feeling that everyone can relate to. Then the singer wants to go home, but there's no clear indication of where home is or what they're searching for.
The second verse mentions the breath of someone on the back of one's neck, and how it's like a song that can't be forgotten. This could be interpreted as someone being present in the singer's life and the reminder of a mistake or lost opportunity. The singer wonders if the other person is happier now, and if the streets seem less loud. This line could indicate not only an internal struggle but also a sense of displacement from a physical location. In the latter part of the song, the singer invites the listener to follow them down to a place where they'll never get lost, and they can see what is otherwise unseen and unheard.
Overall, "Invisible" by Lovelife is a powerful and emotional song that highlights the feeling of being lost, the fragility of hope, and the need to find one's place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
This room got a little bigger
The absence of your presence seems to have made this small room appear more spacious
And hope is a fragile word
Being optimistic is a vulnerable state of mind and can easily shatter
The rain came down but no one heard
Gloomy circumstances get ignored as people only observe noticeable things
You didn't sleep, you just lay in your bed
You tossed and turned all night, restless and unable to fall asleep
Trying to think of the words to say
You were struggling to come up with the right words to express yourself
By the time you did it was way too late
You took too much time to convey your thoughts which resulted in an irreversible outcome
Something inside of me tells me you made a mistake
An intuition that suggests an error on your part
An easy risk to take
It seemed harmless and inconsequential at the time
I wanna go home, you said
You wanted to return to a place of familiarity and safety
The breathe down the back of your neck
A feeling of discomfort and unease, as though someone is watching from behind
Like a song that you can't forget
Memories and situations that are imprinted in your mind and can't be overlooked despite trying to ignore them
The words will stay with you till death
Phrases that have a lasting impact on you, so much so that they might follow you to the grave
Where you are, are you happier now
A question posed to the person after they've left, enquiring about their current state of mind
Where the streets don't seem so loud
A place where the external noise doesn't disturb your inner peace
You sit and think, so what now
Contemplating on what to do next after everything has fallen apart
Before you tell someone you wish you weren't home
Before you express your regret of being in your current state to someone else
Follow me down, down to the place where
Join me to a place of solace
Place where we would never get lost
A destination so familiar that we know it like the back of our hand
Whatever you see, will never be unseen, unheard, invisible
The memories and experiences of this particular destination will always stay with us
There's a journey, there's no destination
It's the path taken that's important, not necessarily where it leads
It takes time and just a little patience
The journey will test your endurance but with fortitude, it will come to an end
There's a point where you show what you're made of
A point where your true character is revealed and you have to face the consequences of your actions
You're just a shade of invisible
You've adopted invisibility as a form of protection even though it's not easy to hide
