Invisible Man
The Electric Swing Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Behind the smile, there's always been a grimace
Lives below his limits in his office disguise
Looking at the parting of the curtain
He's feeling quite uncertain 'bout how he's perceived

Who'd have thought
You'd be here, 'stead of front of your fears
Here's your chance to admit
No turning back!

Now's your time
To decide, do your wrong, will you hide?
No more invisible man!

Ohh, let's get low and ohh
Time is so, uh
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!
Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head, out of your head, out of your head

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!
Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head

Years ago, everybody told him
They'd always try to hold him back from wasting his time
It's all eyes, the world and every nation
Legend and creation
To do it again!

Who'd have thought
You'd be here, 'stead of front of your fears
Here's your chance to admit
No turning back

Now's your time
To decide, do your wrong, will you hide?
No more invisible man!

Ohh, let's get low and ohh
Time is so, uh
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!
Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head, out of your head

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!
Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!
Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head, out of your head, out of your head

Move it! Keep it up!
Step a little bit closer to the edge!
Groove it! Make a move!
Make you more, step-a-step!
Lose it! Crank it up!




Shake that thought right out of your head
Out of your head, out of your head

Overall Meaning

The Electric Swing Circus's song "Invisible Man" is an uplifting call to action for those feeling unseen or unheard. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hiding his true self behind a fake smile and an office disguise. He's unsure of how he's perceived and has been held back in the past from pursuing his dreams. However, he's encouraged to step out of the shadows, take risks, and be true to himself. The repetition of "move it, keep it up, step a little bit closer to the edge" reinforces the idea of taking action and pushing oneself out of their comfort zone.


The chorus "what you waiting for?" is a rhetorical question directed at the listener, challenging them to take control of their own lives and stop waiting for someone else to give them permission to be seen or heard. The message is clear: don't hide your talents, don't be afraid to be different or take risks, and don't let anyone hold you back. The song acknowledges that it can be difficult to break free from societal norms, but it's important to try and stay true to yourself.


Interestingly, the song also features a mix of swing, electronica, and hip-hop, blending multiple genres and creating a unique sound. The Electric Swing Circus is known for their fusion of classic swing-style music with modern electronic beats, which can be heard in "Invisible Man."

Hi, we are always happy to give out our lyrics.

Here they are -



Behind his smile there’s
Always been a grimace
Lives below his limit
In his office disguise
looking out
The parting of the curtain
He’s feeling quite uncertain
‘Bout how he’s received
Who’d have thought
You’d be here
Stood in front of your fear
Heres your chance to appear
No turning back
Nows your time
To decide
Do you run?
Will you hide?
No more
Invisible man
Oh lights get lower
Oh time moves slower
What ya waiting for?
What ya waiting for?
What ya waiting for?
What ya waiting for?
Move it
Keep it up
Step a little bit closer
To the edge
prove it
Make em look


Make your mark
Step by step
Lose it
Crank it up
Shake that thought
Right out your head
X2
Years ago
Everybody told him
They always tried to hold him
Back from wasting his time
Its all eyes
The world and every nation
A legend in creation
To do it again
Who’d have thought
You’d be here
Stood in front of your fear
Heres your chance to appear
No turning back
Nows your time
To decide
Do you run?
Will you hide?
No more
Invisible man
Oh lights get lower??
Oh time moves slower??
What ya waiting for?
What ya waiting for?
What ya waiting for?


What ya waiting for?
Move it
Keep it up
Step a little bit closer
To the edge
prove it
Make em look
Make your mark
Step by step
Lose it
Crank it up
Shake that thought
Right out your head
