Invisible
Unveiling the Veil: Unseen Pains in Amanda Fagan's 'Invisible'
Lyrics
Everybody thinks that you're so cool
Perception that others see the person as cool.
They prop you up on a pedestal but I see through you like a shard of glass
Despite public admiration, the speaker sees through the person's facade like a shard of glass.
I see you for what you really are
The speaker perceives the true nature of the person.
And your jagged edges leave scars on all the friends you turned on and attacked
The person's actions have harmed others, leaving scars on friendships.
You said you didn't care about anything that I went through
Disregard for the speaker's experiences.
Don't treat me like a joke after I sacrificed so much for you
Feeling unappreciated after sacrificing for the person.
It's not fair
Expressing a sense of unfairness.
I gave my all and what's to show
The speaker gave their all but has nothing to show for it.
I really thought that we were friends but I was just invisible
Realization that the perceived friendship was one-sided.
You let other people fight your wars then you hide away with no remorse
Criticism for using others to fight battles without remorse.
Sitting way up in your ivory tower
Metaphorically, the person isolates themselves in an ivory tower.
And you take and take and never give
The person takes without giving back.
I don't understand how you can live with knowing that you've always been a coward
Questioning how the person can live with being a coward.
You said you didn't care about anything that I went through
Reiteration of the person's lack of care for the speaker's experiences.
Don't treat me like a joke after I sacrificed so much for you
Emotional plea not to be treated as a joke after sacrificing for the person.
It's not fair
Expressing a sense of unfairness (repeated).
I gave my all and what's to show
Reiteration of giving all with nothing to show for it.
I really thought that we were friends but I was just invisible
Reiteration of the realization that the friendship was one-sided.
All I ever wanted was for you to care
Desire for the person to care about the speaker.
I stood in a room full of friends but it was like I wasn't there
Feeling unnoticed in a room full of friends.
And I thought if I tried harder maybe you would notice
Hope that increased effort will make the person notice.
But all my actions were in vain
Efforts to gain attention prove futile.
It's like I was a ghost to you
Feeling invisible and ignored by the person.
And all the embers turn to toxic rain
Metaphorically, positive emotions turn into toxic rain.
I should've known it'd always end this way
Anticipation that the outcome would always be negative.
And even though I tried to change what was on the page
Attempts to change the situation prove ineffective.
The story stayed the same
The storyline remains unchanged despite efforts.
I did really think that at the end, I'd feel complete
Expectation of feeling complete at the end unfulfilled.
But I'm still bittersweet
Despite efforts, the speaker's emotions remain bittersweet.
I can't believe you didn't care (You never cared)
Expressing disbelief at the person's lack of care (repeated).
About anything that (You never cared) I went through
Reiteration of the person's indifference to the speaker's experiences.
Don't treat me like a joke after I sacrificed so much for you
Emotional plea not to be treated as a joke (repeated).
It's not fair (It's so unfair)
Reiteration of a sense of unfairness (repeated).
I gave my all and what's to show
Reiteration of giving all with nothing to show for it (repeated).
I really thought that we were friends but I was just invisible
Reiteration of the realization that the friendship was one-sided (repeated).
Have I always been invisible
Doubting if the speaker has always been invisible.
I was just invisible
Confirmation of feeling invisible.
