‘Can You See Me?’ is a song about feeling at odds with yourself.
Continuing our tradition of pairing happy arrangements with sad narratives, ‘Can You See Me?’ draws inspiration from the indie/punk scene of Australia’s early '2000s creating an uplifting backdrop for a tale of lost identity.
lyrics
Feel like a stranger's living in my head
I can't control, or explain this feeling,
It's like I'm living, in someone else's skin
I'm feeling like, I'm just not feelin' it
Tell me, tell me can you see me?
I’ve begun to see through this person I've become,
I'm so lost, I've just learned to fake it,
I can't shake this, and I hate it.
So tell me, tell me you can see me,
You see through this person I've become,
I'm so tired, I’m tied to being anxious
I can't shake this, and I hate it.
I hear the beat, but I just can't feel it,
With every move of my feet,
I think I'm losing,
Everything I was, everything that was close to me
Break into an ice-cold sweat, and I can barely breathe
Someone check my vital signs,
Tell me I'm still breathing,
Coz I don't feel anything
Tell me, tell me can you see me?
I've begun to see through this person I've become,
I'm so lost, I've just learned to fake it,
I can't shake this, and I hate it.
So tell me, tell me you can see me,
You see through this person I've become,
I'm so tired, I’m tied to being anxious
I can't shake this, and I hate it.
