In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Oh-oh-ohh
What she doin' tonight?
I wish I could be a fly on your wall.
Are you really alone? Who's stealing dreams?
Why can't I breathe you into my life?
(So tell me) What would it take to make you see that I'm alive?
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
Saw your face in the crowd, I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps, each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
(Oh baby) Wish you could touch me with the colors of your light
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
(I'd make you mine tonight) Invisible
I reach out but you don't even feel me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me (you don't hear me)
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passin' through
(Invisible, Invisible, Invisible, Invisible)
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
What she doin' tonight?
I wish I could be a fly on your wall.
Are you really alone? Who's stealing dreams?
Why can't I breathe you into my life?
(So tell me) What would it take to make you see that I'm alive?
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
Saw your face in the crowd, I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps, each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
(Oh baby) Wish you could touch me with the colors of your light
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Wait, I already am
(I'd make you mine tonight) Invisible
I reach out but you don't even feel me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me (you don't hear me)
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passin' through
(Invisible, Invisible, Invisible, Invisible)
If I was invisible
And I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
And I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)
If I was invisible (I'd make you mine)

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is pretty self-explanitory. Definately in the top 10 stalker songs of all time.
I think it speaks about the desperation he feels when the girl he loves doesn't know he exists. The "watch you in your room" line is taken the wrong way by too many people; he can't get her to notice him, so he wishes he could see her when she was alone to learn who about who she really is and what she thinks, so that he could make a profession of love. It's a play on the word "invisible."
no not at all! its about this girl...hes in love with her but she doesnt even know hes alive..she cant see him..she cant hear him he just wants to be with her,..but he cant
This song is just creepy.I wish Clay was invisible so I wouldn't have to look at him.
hoo agrees with me that clay aiken is hot?huh? no1. oh well. well i think Clay rox and all of his songs rock! hmph!
I think this song scares me and that clay quite frankly sucks!
i agree with summerbreeze23 and keepbabbling u guys r so right! my friend really thinks clay is hot so Mrbrightsidelover - ur not alone. i only like this song and The Way by clay. (hey i rhymed! lol)
it means that love always means true happiness, and that he loves soemone and he just cant get through to her. He also loves Countless Overtimes Crybaby Kriptonit, one of his favorite bands.
its about being a loner like shit!
This is the creepyiest song I've ever heard. Clay Aiken scares the hell out of me.
Did his album even sell more then two copies?
