The Santa Cruz native is known for his wide-ranging creativity. Even by looking at his social media pages it's apparent that Oliver Tree's 'brand' is composed of equal elements art, humor, and originality. As as a vocalist, producer, and creative director of all of his audiovisual projects, Tree's unique style also translates to his ensemble.
In February 2018, Tree released his major-label debut EP Alien Boy, along with the double music video for “All That x Alien Boy.” Tree wrote and directed the debut, which took over nine months to create. He spent five months practicing freestyle Monster Truck jumping at the Perris Auto Speedway and performed all his stunts in the music video.
On December 7, 2018, Tree released his second music video, "Hurt", a single from his debut album Ugly Is Beautiful. He traveled to Ukraine to film the video, which he wrote and co-directed with Brendan Vaughan, an up-and-coming music video director. In the first week, the music video for "Hurt" reached one million plays while the song received significant radio play.
On April 11, 2019, Tree released his third music video, "Fuck", with the single being released on the same day.
His fourth music video and single, "Miracle Man", was released on June 7, 2019, with the video reaching 1.3 million views on the first day of release.
On June 12, he announced that he would give his final tour, "The Goodbye, Farewell Tour".
On March 25, 2020, Tree posted a message to his Twitter page, stating that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, his album would not be releasing on time and that all his future shows had been cancelled. This brought on the creation of the song "Let Me Down." He apologized for the news and states he wishes to release the album within 5–10 years, but as of now “he’s officially not retired.” Although this was obviously satirical his album was delayed to an unspecified date.
Finally on the 17th of July, 2020, the album Ugly Is Beautiful was released with 14 tracks, all produced by Tree.
On July 15, 2020, Tree announced in a Twitch interview with Anthony Fantano that Ugly Is Beautiful would be his last album and that he would be retiring his music career after its release. He cited the difficulties he had with his label in releasing the album as his reasoning, and said he'd pursue film making afterwards. This most likely refers to the end of "Turbo" character that Tree has been playing.
Invisible Man
Oliver Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can she see me?
Does she know my heart's beating?
Do I exist?
I am easy to miss
Like a shadow at night
What a lonely life
You're not alone
Don't lose hope
When your heart feels hopeless
It's just fine
It'll be alright
Hold on tight
When your heart feels hopeless
I am the invisible man
If you look, you will find me
Come say "Hi" when you can
I am the invisible man
If you look, you will find me
Come say "Hi" when you can
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
I'm a lost soul
I'm invisible
She doesn't care though, 'cause she doesn't know
Please make it clear
Can you tell me dear
Did I disappear like I never was here?
You should know
You're not alone
Don't lose hope
When your heart feels hopeless
It's just fine
It'll be alright
Hold on tight
When your heart feels hopeless
I am the invisible man
If you look, you will find me
Come say "Hi" when you can
I am the invisible man
If you look, you will find me
Come say "Hi" when you can
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
The invisible man
The lyrics of "Invisible Man" by Oliver Tree and sped up nightcore delve into themes of loneliness, feeling unnoticed, and the desire for connection. The singer expresses their isolation, comparing themselves to a ghost and questioning if others are aware of their presence. They wonder if anyone truly sees them, if anyone can hear their heartbeat, and if they truly exist. This sense of being easily overlooked, like a shadow in the night, intensifies their feelings of loneliness, describing it as a lonely life.
Yet, amidst this solitude, the singer offers reassurance to the listener. They emphasize that they are not alone in their struggles and encourage them not to lose hope even when their heart feels despair. The lyrics convey a message of perseverance and the belief that everything will eventually be alright. It's a reminder to hold on tightly during challenging times, because those feelings of hopelessness can be temporary.
The repetition of the phrase "I am the invisible man" highlights the singer's perception of their own invisibility. They long for someone to acknowledge their presence, to see them for who they truly are. The invitation to come say "Hi" when you can suggests a longing for connection and interaction, perhaps hoping for someone to break through the sense of invisibility and engage with them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Invisible Man" speak to the universal human experience of feeling unseen and forgotten, while also providing comfort and hope that even in moments of despair, there is always the potential for connection and a brighter future.
