about

The Invisible Man is a story about mental health, with the lyrics shaped by personal experiences of dealing with loved ones struggling in the midst of the mental health epidemic. The track’s instrumentation manages to be both raw and uncompromising yet also melodic and mystical, a juxtaposition that runs throughout Maruja’s music, serving to aid the poetry in thrusting the listener into the cacophony of emotions that the lived events created.

lyrics

Let me tell you the story of The Invisible Man,
Forgotton himself in the land of the damned
Now no one can reach him, lost in the cracks of reality
Savagery ,taking his hand, breaking his stance, he's lost in his glance
No matter never when I try, through your eyes I see emotions that you hide

Ain't it funny that there's nothing that will last?
Screwed up looking faces like they had or wear a mask
All I ask is that you're open for a minute now
Never long enough to grasp
Like the smoke grows from my hands in a flash
With each other can we last?

The truth, it hides
The truth, it hides
The truth, it hides

Wisps of smoke caressed the mountains beneath the moon
The sky fell backwards, a deep and dark green blue
The gaze you cast was absent, when you were there it wasn't you

A shell of who you were before the hurt inside there grew
Chew down on your emotions, volcanic ruptures brew
Colder as the days go by like early morning dew
A different kind of blue, miles gone too soon
Afflicted feelings bloom, past trauma is a tomb
And I can see why you might choose to blame someone else before you lose

Track of who you were as the night begins to loom
The air inside the room became thicker than a fool
You could cut it with a knife, so it's safe to not assume

The shadows of your past dance behind your sunken eyes
Subconsciously contract, over time you say you're fine
Over time you learn to cry , but anxiety made you shy
Clutching to the lies you tell yourself not satisfied

The truth
It hides
The truth
It hides

The truth
It hides
The truth
It hides, hides

The truth
It hides
The truth
It hides

The truth
It hides
The truth
It hides
