Invisible Man
Chasing Shadows: Yearning in an Invisible World
Lyrics
Trying to shoot the invisible man
Attempting to confront or deal with someone or something that cannot be easily perceived or understood.
Lines are down hearts are lost you don't heed me
Communication breakdown and emotional disconnection; feeling ignored or unnoticed.
Dial disconnect that was always the plan
Intentionally cutting off communication, as it was part of the plan.
Searching for remains of the day
Searching for remnants or traces of what once was.
In the moving pictures we make no sound
Engaging in activities or relationships without genuine emotional depth or resonance.
Will I disappear when you're not around
Questioning one's significance or existence when not in someone else's presence.
Meters been running since the world went wrong
Time passing and accumulating since a significant disruption or crisis.
The dial is spinning out our favorite song
Repeatedly revisiting memories associated with a favorite song.
Can't think of nothing else since you've been gone
Unable to focus on anything else due to the absence of someone important.
Come back to haunt me
Desiring the return or reappearance of someone from the past.
My heart is racing but I'm standing still
Feeling intense emotions but unable to take action.
I want you near me but you never will be
Longing for closeness with someone who will never fulfill that desire.
Careful with the stars that I lead behind me
Being cautious about the legacy or consequences of past actions.
Come back to my haunt
Inviting someone to return to one's emotional or mental space.
Aim to shoot the invisible man
Continuing efforts to confront or deal with the elusive or intangible.
The streets are empty I pretend I'm a car keep left
Engaging in behaviors that mimic something desired but unattainable.
Round in round-a-bouts the light creeps in
Experiencing fleeting moments of hope or illumination.
Check my rearview mirror he isn't there
Checking for a presence that isn't physically there, possibly haunted by memories.
In the moving pictures we make no sound
Engagement in activities or connections devoid of true emotional resonance or depth.
Will I disappear when you're not around
Concern about one's existence or significance when away from someone important.

Come back to my haunt

Will I be with you when in paradise
Questioning if one will ever be united with someone in a perfect place or state.
A girl like me don't ever get what she likes
Expressing the belief that one rarely gets what they truly desire.
Roll my windows down I close my eyes
Seeking a moment of escape or peace from reality.
Haunt me tonight
Requesting someone to linger in one's thoughts or emotions.
Don't doubt it honey that I did you wrong
Acknowledging responsibility for causing harm or pain.
We broke the record when they played our song
Having a significant impact when a particular song is played.
Thought I caught your shadow at the break of dawn
Perceiving remnants or reminders of someone in the early morning.
I feel so empty since you've been gone
Feeling hollow or incomplete since someone's departure.
Careful with the stars
Being cautious about the legacy or consequences of past actions (repeated).
Careful with the stars I leave behind
Cautioning about the impact or implications of one's actions on others (repeated).
