Invisible Man
Vague Notion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And you were invisible to me
Until you cast down all your worry in the stream
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.

I am becoming a monster
I am changing into something unpleasant
Full of sound and fury
Filled with intense emotions and noise
Able to explode into song
Capable of expressing myself through music
Mother if you knew you might worry
If my mother knew the extent of my changes, she would be concerned
My actions they matter
My behaviors have significance
And your actions too
Your behaviors also hold importance
More than you think
The value of your actions surpasses what you perceive
We have some power
We possess influence
Don't let nihilism take you to the brink
Avoid allowing the belief in nothingness to push you to your limit
And you were invisible to me
You were unnoticed by me
Until you cast down all your worry in the stream
I did not notice you until you let go of your concerns and became visible to me
