Lyrics
In the middle of the garden with nobody near you
In a lonely place in the garden where no one is around you.
Smoke signals in the air
Symbolic signs or messages in the air, possibly indicating distress.
Tell me that you need a little help from somewhere
Expressing a need for assistance from some source.
Everybody likes you
People generally have positive feelings towards you.
But nobody wants you
Despite being liked, no one desires or actively seeks your presence.
You're sick of being see-through
Feeling tired of being overlooked or unnoticed.
But you'll never throw colour.
Unwilling to stand out or draw attention to oneself.
In the mirror, staring deep into nobody's image
Staring at oneself in the mirror, perceiving an image that others don't see.
Your reflection's perfect but I
Acknowledging a perfect reflection but not accepting it as reality.
Know that you are never gonna see it that way.
Believing that one will never perceive oneself positively.
When everybody likes you
Similar to line 5, others have positive feelings toward you.
But nobody wants you
Despite being liked, there is a lack of genuine interest or desire for you.
You're sick of being see-through
Expressing dissatisfaction with being transparent or easily overlooked.
But you'll never throw colour.
Still reluctant to stand out or make oneself noticeable.
I know you only want to be loved
Desire for love and attention, feeling neglected.
But I guess you're just the last we think of
Being perceived as the last option for others to consider.
As someone to want
Yearning to be wanted by someone.
As someone to hold
Seeking companionship and emotional support.
As someone to keep
Desiring a lasting connection with someone.
And someone to grow with
Wanting someone to grow and evolve alongside.
I know you only want to be loved.
Reiteration of the desire for love and acceptance.
In the mirror, staring deep into nobody's image
Reflecting on an idealized self that others don't perceive.
Your reflection's perfect
Acknowledging a perfect reflection but doubting its validity.
But I know that you are never gonna see it that way.
Reinforcing the belief that one will never see oneself positively.
When everybody likes you
Similar to lines 5 and 14, others have positive feelings toward you.
But nobody wants you
Despite being liked, there is a lack of genuine interest or desire for you.
You're sick of being see-through
Expressing dissatisfaction with being transparent or easily overlooked.
But you'll never throw colour.
Still reluctant to stand out or make oneself noticeable.
