Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Every morning I wake up
And think of what I could have done
To make you see that I'm the one you need
And every afternoon I sit down
To think of how to be around you
Day and night until the end of time
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Every evening I shut my eyes
To wonder why you never noticed
Never knew, all I think about is you
And every night I try to keep myself asleep
'Cause in my dreams I totally see
You want to be with me
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Just wait a minute, I don't ever wanna wake up
I'll leave the heartache in the back of the car
It's not that you have never looked straight through me
No running circles like a bug in a jar
And make me leave you, only see me
'Cause I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Yeah, I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
And think of what I could have done
To make you see that I'm the one you need
And every afternoon I sit down
To think of how to be around you
Day and night until the end of time
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Every evening I shut my eyes
To wonder why you never noticed
Never knew, all I think about is you
And every night I try to keep myself asleep
'Cause in my dreams I totally see
You want to be with me
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Just wait a minute, I don't ever wanna wake up
I'll leave the heartache in the back of the car
It's not that you have never looked straight through me
No running circles like a bug in a jar
And make me leave you, only see me
'Cause I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Yeah, I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Amazing
