Invisible
El Cuarteto de Nos
Invisible
Nothing here, nothing there
Nothing to say, nothing to explain
Today the Sun won't even see me
Nothing to show, nothing to fake
Nothing to judge, nothing to dodge
Today no one will hear my voice
So many lights, so many stares
What do they have that's so worth looking at?
So much darkness, so much darkness
'Cause it's true, I feel invisible
The times I wish they could see me
And deep down, I just want to be found
The times I wish I could disappear
I feel the power of seeing without being seen
When no one pays attention to me, that's
When I know I exist
I'm not Mephisto (hey!)
Nor the Antichrist (ah!)
I don't hide for fun but out of need
Like Houdini, unpredictable
Without magic or spell, I become invisible
And I dig unflinchingly the trench of my war
Begging: swallow me up, Earth!
I can be real, I can be fiction
Just material or just illusion
But I have control
And even though I know I'll never see it
I know there's someone else who must have
The same intention as me
The essential isn't seen by the eyes, that's why there are days I choose not to be
And that's my truth, and that's my truth
'Cause it's true, I feel invisible
The times I wish they could see me
And deep down, I just want to be found
The times I wish I could disappear
I've gotten used to being transparent
Among the crowd that doesn't see me even when I'm present
And I feel absent only when I fade away
Wrapped in my smoke bomb
Wells described me, Dalí painted me
But no one understands why I'm like this
If they ask how I do it, no one answers
Not everything has an answer!
'Cause it's true, I feel invisible
The times I wish they could see me
And deep down, I just want to be found
The times I wish I could disappear
The times I wish I could disappear
The times I wish I could disappear
