Invisible Man
Embracing Visibility in the Shadows of Existence
Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a funny feeling,
Woke up with a strange sensation, unsure of its origin.
Wasn't really sure what it was all about.
Uncertain about the nature of the feeling.
But it felt like I was disappearing,
Feels like disappearing or being unnoticed.
So I ran to the mirror to check it out.
Checks the mirror to confirm the sense of invisibility.
I said, "Here I am, here I am, here I am
Expresses presence but questions why feeling invisible.
But why do I feel like the invisible man?"
Confronts the paradox of being unseen despite being present.
I stumbled back into the bedroom,
Returns to the bedroom, contemplating the situation.
And stared out at the rising sun.
Observes the sunrise, reflecting on his state of mind.
Then I heard myself shout out the window,
Shouts out the window without a specific audience.
Not really talking to anyone.
Not addressing anyone in particular, expressing frustration.
I yelled, "Here I am, here I am, here I am
Reiterates presence but questions invisibility persistently.
But why do I feel like the invisible man?"
Continues to grapple with the feeling of being overlooked.
Lights went on, people started yelling,
Lights on, people react negatively, perceiving him as crazy.
"Will the crazy man go back to bed."
Others dismiss his actions as irrational and advise rest.
And there I was, laughing out my window,
Laughs, feeling relief that someone heard and acknowledged.
Feeling much better now, somebody heard what I said.
Positive response improves mood and well-being.
Well it's no big thing, no revelation,
Reflects on life's complexities and lack of clear answers.
No answer to these lives we lead.
Acknowledges the challenge of the lives they lead.
But I think I do know one thing;
Suggests a realization about the need to assert oneself.
Sometimes I think we all need to say;
Advocates expressing presence despite challenges.
"Here I am, here I am, here I am,"
Repeats the assertion of existence amidst life's struggles.
When life makes us feel like the invisible man.
Connects the need to declare presence with feeling invisible.
Lights went on, people started yelling,
Repetition of lights on, people reacting negatively.
"Will the crazy man go back to bed."
Similar reaction, labeling the speaker as crazy.
And there I was, laughing out my window,
Repeats the positive experience of being heard and understood.
Feeling much better now, somebody heard what I said.
Emphasizes the impact of communication on well-being.
Woke up this morning with a funny feeling,
Starts the day with a recurrence of the strange feeling.
Wasn't really sure what it was all about.
Reiterates uncertainty about the feeling's origin.
But it felt like I was disappearing,
Repeats the sensation of disappearing or being unnoticed.
So I ran to the mirror to check it out.
Verifies the sense of invisibility through the mirror again.
I said, "Here I am, here I am, here I am
Reaffirms presence but acknowledges intermittent invisibility.
But sometimes I feel like the invisible,
Expands on the theme of feeling invisible at times.
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Reiterates the need to assert presence despite challenges.
But why do I feel like the invisible man
Questions the persistent feeling of being the invisible man.
