On the 54th floor of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower on 66 Wellington Street there lives a wonderful restaurant called Canoe. After one wonderful meal there, Gold Ryan(2co) and David Lee Rob(the northern coast), were so inspired they had to start a band.
Thus the Canoes were born. A band who's main objective is to never tour or do any interviews but write a new song everyday for a week and half. The Canoes will easily earn a place in Rock History. http://www.myspace.com/theonlycanoesever

Invisible Man
The Canoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody cares
No one would miss me
If I wasn't there
Somebody brings home the bacon
Putting the green in your hand
I'm out here floating
With no place to land
But I'm doing fine
I'm doing time
I'm doing all that I can
Here I am
The invisible man
Rumbling sifts through the ceiling
Tiny feet on the stairs
I'm sitting in echoes of laughter
That I cannot share
Wives and kids form a circle
Dads are left standing outside
Waiting for an invitation
To come back inside
The Canoes's song "Invisible Man" depicts the feeling of being overlooked and unappreciated. The lyrics speak about the painful reality of being invisible even in the presence of others. The song starts with the lines "Nobody wants me, Nobody cares," expressing the feeling of isolation and abandonment. The tone of the song is melancholic but remains hopeful, with the invisible man acknowledging that he's doing all that he can, but still feeling underappreciated. The metaphor of an invisible man is powerful, indicative of the emotional turmoil that one can experience, as they continue to feel unseen and insignificant.
The second verse, "Rumbling sifts through the ceiling, Tiny feet on the stairs, I'm sitting in echoes of laughter that I cannot share," conveys a sense of exclusion that one can feel in a room full of people. The invisible man is acutely aware of the happenings around him but feels powerless to be a part of it. The last verse highlights the familial aspect of the theme; the invisible man observes and feels the pain of those left out, acknowledging the dynamics of a household.
Overall, the Canoes have delivered a powerful composition that speaks of the human experience of feeling invisible.
Line by Line Meaning
Nobody wants me
I feel unwanted and unloved by others
Nobody cares
I feel neglected and ignored by the world
No one would miss me
I believe that nobody would notice or care if I were not present
If I wasn't there
If I were to disappear or die
Somebody brings home the bacon
Someone is working hard and earning money for the family
Putting the green in your hand
Providing financial support for others
I'm out here floating
I feel lost and aimless, with no direction in life
With no place to land
Feeling like there is no stability or security in life
But I'm doing fine
Despite my struggles, I am coping and surviving
I'm doing time
I feel trapped or stuck in my current situation
I'm doing all that I can
I am trying my best to keep going
Here I am
I exist, even if others don't see me
The invisible man
Feeling unseen and unnoticed by others
Rumbling sifts through the ceiling
Hearing noise from others living above me
Tiny feet on the stairs
Hearing children walking around but unable to interact with them
I'm sitting in echoes of laughter
Hearing laughter but feeling excluded from the joy
That I cannot share
Feeling isolated and unable to connect with others
Wives and kids form a circle
The family unit is bonded and connected without me
Dads are left standing outside
As a father, feeling excluded from the family unit
Waiting for an invitation
Feeling left out and waiting for acceptance from others
To come back inside
Wanting to be a part of the family again
