If you were given a chance to have one super power, what would it be? Most of us would answer invisibility. Some of us would even say that they already have the power of invisibility, at least not literally. In Skylar Grey’s song entitled Invisible, it describes how a person does everything to be noticed but still feels like she’s invisible. Have you ever felt invisible?
“I take these pills, to make me thin. I dye my hair, and cut my skin.” We do things to make other people notice us, sometimes it reaches to the point wherein we abuse ourselves to change the way we look. “I tried everything, to make them see me, but all they see is someone that’s not me.” We try to be ourselves, and yet people still judge us. We are bound to be misunderstood by some, because we can never please everyone. And sometimes, when we do things to please others, we lose ourselves on the process. We want people to see the real us, but then they see someone else.
“Here inside, my quiet hell you cannot hear my cries for help.” It’s like we’re screaming but no one can hear us. We want to tell the world how we feel and who we are, but they hear something else. We care too much about what other people think of us. At the end of the day, we go back to that secure place called loneliness, where it’s just you and your thoughts and no one else around you. But still, we long for their acceptance and so this place called loneliness becomes a hell-like place.
“Sometimes, when I’m alone I pretend that I’m a queen. It’s almost believable.” When we can’t beat others into accepting us, we tend to create our own world wherein we’re the queen or king. It almost seems real to us, but we know deep down that it’s not. This song is indeed a very depressing song, but I can somehow relate to it. And I know that a lot of people can also relate to this since this is one of the most common issues today. I hope that someday, we’ll be able to learn how to embrace who we really are and all it takes is the right person to accept that.
