Mr. Invisible
Thank You Scientist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sole contender for what I believe to be a mess
All I know, we never put it to the test
You ask me if I want to dance some more, I tell you that I do
You raise me up, up to heights I never knew
Won't you pinch me? I've been dreaming here for far too long
Wide awake, we're sharing in this morning view
I ask you if you wanna laugh some more,
You tell me that you do
I'll raise you up before we fall

When I say that you can count on me, it's true
But it seems to me that I can't count on you
What are you waiting for?

When it's gone we'll fake it
When it's over we can start
Silent roars will kill this curiosity
Devastation feels so natural
Right behind the wrecking ball
Securing insecurities
I wonder if we'll weather every storm
I'm hoping that we do
Mr. Invisible's been found

When I say that you can count on me, it's true
But it seems to me that I can't count on you
What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?
Waiting for the day to say it's over

When all is said and done
We lost what we've become
Just watched it slip away
Not ready for a change
When all is said and done
Never forget where we came from
Far before today
Now it's done

Weather every storm, I'm hoping that we do
Mr. Invisible's been found

When I say that you can count on me, it's true




But it seems to me that I can't count on you
What are you waiting for?

Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Invisible" by Thank You Scientist is a mixture of emotions that convey confusion, uncertainty, and apprehension. The lyrics speak about a relationship that has gone sour and the singer's inability to rely on their partner. The singer feels like they are the only one trying to keep the relationship afloat and that their partner is not reciprocating their efforts, leaving them in a state of anxiety and uncertainty. The title of the song "Mr. Invisible" suggests that the partner is distant and elusive, making the singer feel like they are talking to thin air.


The opening lines, "Sole contender for what I believe to be a mess, All I know, we never put it to the test," almost sets the tone for the rest of the song. The relationship has not been taken to the test and, therefore, is in disarray. The singer can't seem to get a read on their partner, and the relationship feels one-sided. The chorus "When I say that you can count on me, it's true, But it seems to me that I can't count on you. What are you waiting for?" repeats this feeling of uncertainty and doubt, which the singer expresses towards their partner.


The lyrics also use imagery to paint a picture of the couple's current situation. The line, "Silent roars will kill this curiosity, Devastation feels so natural, Right behind the wrecking ball, Securing insecurities," describes how the untold problems in their relationship are killing the curiosity and excitement that once existed. The words "devastation" and "wrecking ball" imply that their relationship is falling apart and that nothing can be done to stop it.


Overall, "Mr. Invisible" is a powerful piece of music, combining both lyrical and musical elements to leave listeners with a sense of confusion and concern.
