Invisible
Rossangeles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what she doin' tonight?
i wish i could be a fly on your wall.
are you really alone? who's stealing dreams?
why can't i breathe you into my life?
(so tell me) what would it take to make you see that i'm alive?
if i was invisible
and i could just watch you in your room
i'd make you mine tonight
if hearts were unbreakable
and i could just tell you where i stand
i would be the smartest man
if i was invisible...
wait, i already am
saw your face in the crowd, i call out your name
you don't hear a sound
i keep tracing your steps, each move that you make
wish i could read what goes through your mind
(oh baby) wish you could touch me with the colors of your light
if i was invisible
and i could just watch you in your room
if i was invincible
i'd make you mine tonight
if hearts were unbreakable
and i could just tell you where i stand
i would be the smartest man
if i was invisible...
wait, i already am
(i'd make you mine tonight) invisible
i reach out but you don't even feel me
even when i scream out
baby, you don't hear me (you don't hear me)
i am nothing without you
just a shadow passin' through
(invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible)
if i was invisible
and i could just watch you in your room
if i was invincible
i'd make you mine tonight
if hearts were unbreakable
and i could just tell you where i stand
i would be the smartest man
if i was invisible (i'd make you mine)
The song "Invisible" by Rossangeles portrays a sense of longing for someone who doesn't seem to notice or acknowledge the singer's presence. The repeated use of the word "invisible" is a metaphor for how the singer feels - unseen and unheard by the person they desire. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to know more about this person's life ("what she doin' tonight?") and that they yearn for a deeper connection ("why can't I breathe you into my life?"). The lyrics also express a desire for vulnerability ("if hearts were unbreakable and I could just tell you where I stand") and an unrequited love so strong that the singer would want to make the person theirs if they were invisible or invincible.
The chorus represents the culmination of the singer's desire and the metaphor they use. They want to be able to watch the person they desire without being seen ("if I was invisible"), and they want to assert their presence and make the person theirs ("if I was invincible, I'd make you mine tonight"). The singer is desperate for a connection and wants to be heard ("reach out but you don't even feel me"), but feels ultimately powerless ("just a shadow passin' through").
Overall, "Invisible" is a song about longing, desire, and unrequited love. It touches on themes of vulnerability, powerlessness, and the desire to be seen and heard.
