Unseen
Ross Golan & Molehead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen

I don't believe that something's wrong
I don't believe that something's wrong

Fill up the gates but block the flow
Tilt back the head before they blow
Sit back again enjoy the show
My life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

It's none of my business
I hate that I read this
Don't want to address
I want to suppress this

Wow, my life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

I counted to ten, till you attracted attention
Relieved the tension and took the journal you mentioned out
My life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?




Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Ross Golan & Molehead's song 'Unseen' depict the internal conflict of an individual who has come across some information that they wish they hadn't. The opening lines, "It's just cruel, It's just mean, I should've let this stay unseen" suggest the turmoil and regret felt by the person who discovers this information. They wish they could unsee what they have seen because it is causing them distress. However, the subsequent lyrics, "I don't believe that something's wrong, Close my eyes and I will be strong, By tomorrow I will have moved on" suggest that the person is finding a way to deal with the situation and move on. They are finding resilience and summoning the strength to accept the situation and move on.


The lyrics in the chorus indicate a desire to avoid the issue of the information that has been stumbled upon. The phrase "It's none of my business, I hate that I read this, Don't want to address, I want to suppress this" signify a reluctance to deal with the information and move on from it. They argue that if they ignore the issue, it will go away, even if it means suppressing their emotions.

It’s taken me years to find this faint memory of song played for me long ago. Thank you for posting
