Invisible
Moyet Alison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm afraid to say them.
I feel I've been bad and I'm boiling mad
Still I can't live without you.
You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime
Not even to call me.
You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed
Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
And you don't really care.
I know this romance
It ain't going nowhere.
Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible.
When you get the need to flirt you do the work
You just don't care how much it hurts.
I can never reach you on the phone
It rings and rings
But I know you're home.
It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one.
I tell myself lies and give you alibis
Knowing your promises you'll never keep
Like the merry go round
I'm going up
I'm going down
I'm on a dead end street.
Invisible just like my love
I feel like I'm invisible.
You treat me like I'm not really there
And you don't really care.
I know this romance
It ain't going nowhere.
Although I know it's not a lot
Don't want to lose whatever we got.
I keep hanging on knowing I can't win
Cause it's too hard start over again.
Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible
Invisible just like my love.
The lyrics of Alison Moyet's song Invisible speak of the feelings of neglect and being ignored in a romantic relationship. The singer feels that she is not acknowledged or appreciated by her partner, and as a result, feels invisible. She is frustrated and angry, but at the same time, she is unable to let go of her partner, showing her dependency on the relationship.
The lyrics highlight the asymmetrical nature of their relationship, how her partner takes her for granted, and yet she keeps coming back hoping for a change. The singer is aware that their relationship is not going anywhere and that it is a dead end but still clings to the little they have.
The line "You treat me like I'm not really there, and you don't really care," sums up the message of the song: the singer feels worthless and unimportant to her partner. She knows she deserves better, but her love for her partner blinds her, and she continues to be invisible.
Overall, Alison Moyet's Invisible is a powerful representation of how being invisible in a relationship can lead to feelings of low self-worth, frustration, and the willingness to stay in a relationship that brings little happiness.
