Invisible Man
Ofln - The Breeders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Count the bubbles in your hand
The southern skies
And the summer sites
That's all that's left behind
The skies, and a sweet caress
He's the Invisible Man
You're nowhere in sight (just imagine that)
Nothing excites you (baby, that's a fact)
Open your eyes
Look and you will find
That's all that's left behind... the skies
And a sweet caress
The skies, the sights
And a sweet caress
He's the Invisible Man
Catch him if you can
That's all that's left behind... the skies
And a sweet caress
The skies, the sights
And a sweet caress
He's the Invisible Man
Catch him if you can
The lyrics to "Invisible Man" by The Breeders speak of a mysterious figure, referred to as the "Invisible Man." The song starts by urging the listener to count the bubbles in their hand, highlighting the ephemeral and intangible nature of this person. The mention of the southern skies and summer sights suggests a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past that has disappeared. What remains are only memories and fleeting moments.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the Invisible Man cannot be seen, as if he is a phantom or a figment of the imagination. The lyrics suggest that nothing excites or stimulates the listener, emphasizing the absence of this mysterious figure in their life. The repetition of "that's all that's left behind... the skies and a sweet caress" reinforces the idea that only intangible experiences and emotions are left in the wake of the Invisible Man's presence.
Overall, "Invisible Man" explores the concept of elusive connections and intangible experiences. It captures a sense of yearning and longing for something or someone that remains just out of reach.

The Breeders are one of the best bands ever. If you've heard them and appreciated them then you are lucky. If you haven't, unlucky. If you've seen them in Paris like I did then you can die happy.
