Invisible
TeN Lyrics

Dress like we do,
Conform to our ways and our image, even if it doesn't align with your own identity.

Speak like we do,
Speak like us and recite our beliefs, even if you disagree or doubt them.

Think like we do.
Adopt our mindset and viewpoints, suppressing your own individuality and creativity.

Obey...
Surrender yourself to our authority and control, submitting to every demand and command we make.

Beneath the cold sun
In a barren, unfeeling environment with no warmth or hope.

Watching you walk away
Feeling powerless and unable to stop someone from leaving, even if it causes pain and sadness.

Where my terror runs
In the depths of my subconscious where fear and anxiety reside and consume me.

In rivers so decayed
In memories and emotions that are toxic, unpleasant, and corroding my well-being.

I am invisible...
I feel unrecognized, overlooked, and unnoticed in society despite my existence.

I'm in this mood for days...
I've been consumed by this negative mood and headspace for an extended period of time.

Teeth on every wall...
Feeling paranoid and as if danger is lurking everywhere, even in the familiar.

That never go away.
These fears and anxieties are persistent and enduring, never fading or dissipating.

I'm made of blades and flame...
I am both destructive and passionate in my emotions, causing harm but also being intense in my feelings.

I'm sick and dangerous...
My thoughts and actions are harmful and damaging to myself and others, and I am aware of it.

You're my favorite prey
I am attracted to those who I can harm and manipulate, finding satisfaction in being able to control them.

'Cause I hurt the ones I love.
I hurt and cause pain to those I am closest to, unable to prevent myself from doing so despite caring for them.

You're so lovely when you cry.
I am twisted and find pleasure in others' pain and suffering, even if it is not rational or healthy.

You're so perfect when you lie.
I am drawn to those who are deceitful and manipulative like myself, regardless of the harm it may cause in the long run.

You can be my crucifix,
I am drawn to using and exploiting others like a religious symbol, finding satisfaction in their suffering.

Hold me up to watch me die.
I want to be the center of attention even in my own suffering and demise, needing others to witness and validate my existence.

Can't you see?
I am pleading for acknowledgement and recognition, despite feeling invisible and alone.

Beneath the Pagan moon
Under the influence and power of a supernatural force, where everything is uncertain and unknown.

One more prey dies today.
I continue to harm and exploit those around me, without remorse or empathy for their wellbeing.

On sheets of flesh and doom
In a world where death, destruction, and chaos abound, leaving no hope or room for optimism.

Shivering in endless shade like criminals...
Feeling trapped and exposed, with no escape or freedom from the guilt and shame that consumes them.

The stain still remains
The remnants and consequences of past actions still exist and continue to affect the present and future.

And I promise you, it never goes away.
Despite the passage of time, the damage and trauma inflicted never truly heal or disappear.

Behold,
I am making a grand gesture, showcasing my power and control over the situation at hand.

Feast your eyes as the peripherals explode.
Witness the destruction and chaos around us, as everything spirals out of control and violent.

Can you see me now? (2x)
I am commanding attention and validation, seeking for acknowledgement in the midst of the chaos and destruction.

The ugly will resign
The negative and harmful aspects in life will eventually fade away and lose their power over us.

When the young blood eats the light.
When the new and fresh perspectives take over and replace the old, outdated ideologies.

And one day, this pain could save your life.
The experiences and hardships we endure can shape and change us, making us stronger and wiser in unexpected ways.

Living in the shelter,
Existing and surviving in a limited and confined space, as if in hiding or searching for protection.

Lying here alive...
Remaining in existence despite hardships and obstacles, even if it is not living life to the fullest.

We're painting submission
We are submitting and conforming to society's expectations and demands, without question or deviation.

Across the shadowed sky...
In the darkness and uncertainty, forced to adapt to the environment around us.

Fire on the sides,
Destruction and danger on either side, with no room for escape or salvation.

Burned and bright, has arrived (?)
The negative consequences are present and powerful, causing damage and destruction that cannot be ignored.

Lost in flight, on golden molted wings.
Feeling trapped and lost, unable to break free from the cycle of destruction and chaos that we find ourselves in.

Mama, don't cry...
Addressing a maternal figure, attempting to soothe and provide comfort despite the difficult circumstances.

I'm leaving his life...
Making a tough and potentially life-changing decision, regardless of the consequences that may come from it.

It's not your fault.
Reassuring and comforting a loved one, absolving them from any wrongdoing or responsibility.

Paid for our sins,
The consequences of past actions and mistakes continue to linger and affect the present and future.

You protected us then...
Acknowledging and recognizing the sacrifices and care that someone has provided, coming from a place of gratitude and love.

And saved us all.
Highlighting the power and empathy of human connection and love, even in dire circumstances.

I make this vow,
Making a personal and emotional commitment to someone or something, regardless of obstacles or sacrifices that may come.

I promise you now:
Making a solemn and serious promise, coming from a place of honesty and sincerity.

He'll never touch us again...
Protecting oneself and loved ones from harm and abuse, taking control of one's life and experiences.

He'll never touch us again...
Reinforcing and solidifying the promise and commitment, coming from a place of strength and empowerment.

He'll never touch us again...
Overcoming fear and pain, finding healing and hope in the midst of difficult and transformative circumstances.
