Invisible Man
Vague Notion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am becoming a monster
Full of sound and fury
Able to explode into song
Mother if you knew you might worry
My actions they matter
And your actions too
More than you think
We have some power
Don't let nihilism take you to the brink




And you were invisible to me
Until you cast down all your worry in the stream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Invisible Man" by Vague Notion reflects on the idea of becoming a monster, and the possible negativity that comes with it. The first line summarizes the entire idea rather well, with the singer suggesting that he's changing into something sinister. Despite the impression we get from the first line, the second line assures us that the transformation is dramatic and exciting. The artist speaks of being able to burst into song at any moment, which is something that implies that the change might not be all bad.


The next few lines seem to be addressing the singer's mother or someone with a maternal instinct. It suggests that something frightful is happening, and if she were aware, she'd be concerned. The lines that follow suggest that the singer's actions, as well as others, matter more than they realize. The last line and the chorus imply that it is essential to be visible and not invisible in regards to our woes. By getting our worries out in the open, we become visible, that visibility gives us the strength to push through our problems.
