The Invisible Man
Unveiling the Silent Struggle: The Meaning Behind Sam Shingler's 'The Invisible Man'
Lyrics
What if I walked out
Contemplating the possibility of leaving
Could we still be friends
Questioning the potential for friendship after leaving
And if I talked out
Considering expressing thoughts or feelings
Would it make amends
Wondering if expression would reconcile the situation
What if you catch me
Imagining being caught in a situation
Late in the night
Being discovered late at night
If you reached out to touch me
Exploring the potential touch from the other person
would it feel right
Questioning the emotional appropriateness of the touch
Been hiding in the corner all night
Describing a prolonged period of hiding
Invisible man
Self-identifying as an invisible man
Freaking me out
Feeling disturbed or unsettled by the situation
Been hiding in the corner all my life
Reiterating a lifetime of hiding
Invisible man
Reaffirming the identity as an invisible man
Freaking me out
Expressing continued discomfort
He's freaking me out
Emphasizing the intensity of discomfort
What if I said no
Considering the option of refusal
Come down from the wall
Encouraging someone to come down from a metaphorical wall
And if I let go
Exploring the potential consequences of letting go
Would both of us fall
Speculating about the mutual consequences of letting go
What if I told you
Ruminating on the completion of one's purpose
Your work here is done
Hinting at the idea of fulfilling a purpose
If I no longer hold you
Considering the possibility of release
Could two become one
Exploring the potential unity or connection after release
Been hiding in the corner all night
Repeating the theme of prolonged hiding
Invisible man
Reiterating the identity as an invisible man
Freaking me out
Expressing continued discomfort and disturbance
Been hiding in the corner all my life
Reaffirming a lifetime of hiding
Invisible man
Reiterating the identity as an invisible man
Freaking me out
Expressing continued discomfort and disturbance
He's freaking me out
Emphasizing the intensity of discomfort
