I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you

I am my own worst enemy
Look at me and tell me what you see
Can you see inside of me

All that's left of me is a memory

It fucks with my mind I can't even hear what you say
Inside my head is far from here anyway
I look around and all I see is how to be
It's not for me so now I'm here to let you see

Away away I always run away
I should listen to what you have to say
To you to me I never will make you see
There's something locked away down inside of me

It fucks with my mind I can't even hear what you say
Inside my head is far from here anyway
I look around and all I see is how to be
It's not for me so now I'm here to let you see

Die (too)
Now take my life
I can not feel
The pain you bring
My way I'm torn

I can't see when you look at me never know what to say
I can't see look inside me

I see right through you
Right through you
I see right through you
Right through
I see right through you
Right through you
I see right through you

Never can I decide a way to see
You know that I would never want to be
The way that I appear is agony
I am losing myself to misery

I see right through you
Right through you
I see right through you
Right through
I see right through you
Right through you
I see right

Interrupt my destiny I can't turn around watch you break free
I reach deep inside of me it's a fucking mental thing
Can't overcome the way I feel
It's grown into a part of me
Never see what others see I think its called insanity

I know you can't fucking silence me
So let go of the way you label me
I don't know how it feels to be like me
I don't show everything you need to see
I grow all the pain inside of me
So just go

I can't see when you look at me never know what to say
I can't see look inside me

I see right through you
Right through you
I see right through you
Right through
I see right through you
Right through you
I see right through you

Never can I decide a way to see
You know that I would never want to be
The way that I appear is agony
I am losing myself to misery

I see right through you

Overall Meaning

Eleven.five's song "Transparent" is a powerful exploration of inner turmoil and mental health struggles. The lyrics repeat the phrase "I see right through you," which can be interpreted as the singer recognizing the facade they present to the world and feeling a sense of vulnerability due to their struggles. The repeated declaration also reflects the feeling of being seen by others, but not truly understood or heard. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer acknowledging that they are their own worst enemy and feeling as if they are only a memory of their former self. The second stanza dives deeper into the feeling of being lost and not truly present, with the singer struggling to hear what others are saying while feeling trapped in their own mind.

The chorus touches on the idea that the singer often runs away from their problems and doesn't want others to see what is locked away inside them. This notion of hiding one's struggles is common among those with mental health issues, as there can be a sense of shame or fear associated with sharing one's innermost thoughts and feelings. The bridge brings a particularly intense moment to the song, with the singer almost pleading for release from the pain and anguish they feel. The repeated declaration of "I see right through you" takes on a more desperate tone here, with the implication being that the singer wants someone to truly see them and understand their struggles.

Overall, "Transparent" is a raw and emotional exploration of mental health struggles, self-doubt, and the desire for true connection and understanding. The lyrics, while specific to the singer's experiences, are relatable to many who have battled with similar issues. Through powerful imagery and the repetition of key phrases, the song conveys the complexity and depth of these struggles.
