When I was 14 I passed a really hard episode of depression, I used to take pills go to the doctor and the psychiatrist. I found this song and was too real for me, it hurted soo bad I just skipped this song every time. Now I’m 21 and I can tell I’m fine. It’s been years of therapy I know you don’t care ahaha but God I’m so proud. If anyone is listening to this song and feels bad. You will get out of that, trust yourself 💛
I've been facing such issues for a long while... But I'm just glad I'm alive. My mental health has been deteriorating for a while. But this place where I'm from, Mental health is completely ignored. I try to live within fiction & associate myself with fictional characters. That's the only thing that's keeping me going. But I'm glad you got out of that phase & are good now. All the best for your life ahead. 👍 Make the best of it. ❤️
Lyrics I take these pills to make me thin I dye my hair, and cut my skin I tried everything, to make them see me But all they see, is someone that's not me Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Here inside, my quiet heart You cannot hear, my cries for help I tried everything, to make them see me But every one, see's what I can't be Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Sometimes when I'm alone I pretend that I'm a queen It's almost believable Even when I'm walking on a wire Even when I set myself on fire Why do I always feel invisible, invisible Everyday I try to look my best Even though inside I'm such a mess Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
I used to listen to this song everyday when I was at my lowest , it made me burst into endless tears . After many attempts and hospitals I can finally say things get better! It took 4 years to realize that and life sometimes seems to be against you but all those challenges are there to build you, make you a stronger person. I don’t know who will read this but stay strong, I love you, the world needs you and stay safe ❤️
i am glad you found your way through the darkness. the expression, "what does not kill you, makes you stronger", is a fact. your never alone. if you ever need somebody to talk to, i am here. sometimes talking to a complete stranger is easier. you can say anything and feel safe as they dont know you or anybody connected to you. be safe. remember, happiness is inside you. try two books, the profit, by gilbran, and the four agreements.
Bby girl I’ve been listening to this song for 7 yrs. you are Amazing 😉💖😄🤍 I haven’t listened to it in yrs but I’m definitely at my lowest again. We GOT THIS BBYYYYY💎
You are not invisible to me! You are so much more talented than the people who get the recognition for your work. There are plenty of people who see you in the background. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I was searching for this song like hell..I heard this song when I was younger..then later I heard this again and didnt recall the title..haha..I loved this song so much
I was in a really dark place, questioning my life. It came to me when I heard “Invisible”. First listened to it when it released in 2011 and I was 14 at that time. Every lyric hits home to me. I feel like my mental health is invisible to my family’s eyes cuz they don’t believe in it let alone allowing me to go for therapy. Whenever I feel like I lost in life I listened to this song. Thank you Skylar for making such beautiful lyrics ❤️🩹❤️
To all those people who are depressed, just remember the light at the end of the tunnel does not shut off. The clouds will go away eventually. keep in mind that it will get worse before it gets better
Natsu dragneel yes this person tried to encourage but I think that is cliche encouragement since everyone says that now. depression is caused from many things, it can be from the weather to a lacking in your diet. sometimes words can't help that.
A good post, many get lost in the grey and black of life. There is light. Somewhere. Obviously not from the sociopathic trolls above, mind you. Who obviously clicked on this clip and responded to posts because of their ADHD. Or missed medication.
Used to listen to this and a bunch of her other songs when I was going through a lot of shit. A friend commited suicide, I was hospitalized due to depression and other issues. All of her songs helped me to get through those times. Listening to them again breaks my heart, it brings back all the memories, but on the other hand I want to listen to them again, because I love the songs. Skylar Grey is definitly one of my favorite artists. Thank you for helping people with your music. 💖
I remember listening to this in middle school and everyone started thinking I was depressed even though I wasn't, but just genuinely thought this was a good song. Here I am today, nearly 10 years later, listening to this 'cause I really am depressed. Guess they knew before I did lmao
As time passes, things will change. I believe this period will pass too, and I believe that you can. Now that circumstance has changed for you, you still continue. You're doing the best you can, and persistence is enough. It's admirable. If you need to rest for a bit, please do so; but come back because we'll be waiting for you!
Same. I use to listen to this song when I was 15. People would ask me why I listened to such depressing songs. I told them that they just sounded good to me. Now I'm 24 and I understand what depression is. I now realize that even though at 15 I didn't understand what depression was, my taste in music showed that I was walking through a dark and scary path and the music gave me comfort. I am still walking through that path today.
Same. I haven’t heard this song in over 7 years but now I’m going through a rough spot about to graduate college and it randomly pops back into my head. Hope you are doing well today.
People are allowed to comment on videos like this about their life being way less than perfect. These songs are made to appeal to everyone who is struggling and they are meant to bring these people together so they can support each other...believe it or not a strangers words can make a world of a difference. Whether it be good or bad. But on videos like this when people are talking about their lives and their depression and the issues they struggle with daily its really sweet and endearing to see people you don't even know joining together to help each other.
This song is the story of my life :'( I try to find the power to live in music, but it's difficult everydays and sometimes you just wanna give up and say "Fuck it I don't deserve to live". Music is powerful.
Just remember that it gets better. Life is a roller coaster and it has its' ups and downs. And try to keep it in perspective. Think of all the things that you are lucky to have.
im here for u-even though i kinda need help myself ;it'll feel nice to help someone who's going thru what i am (will try) . luv .txt me if u need any help or whatever-don't hesitate. love u lots. Take care of urself. Xx
This song pretty much describes me: I pretty much AM invisible for my classmates. I know this sounds strange, but it has been eversince I am in school. I've had big troubles finding friends in kindergarten and primary school. Then I've had these and I got seperated from them after primary school. Then I came to my middle school. I got bullied for pretty much no reason and I have been ignored eversince. And now in highschool I REALLY really feel invisible. I dunno, if I walk up to my mates and want to take part at the conversation I pretty much get ignored all the time 'til I walk away. I don't even think they notice me why I am talking. Even if I walk up to a single person and try to start a conversation, it goes well at first, but as soon as someone else comes it seems that I am no longer important and I get ignored for no reason. I don't know why I have such integrational problems, but it has been there all the time. It kind of drives me crazy and sometimes in a very, very depressive state.
I don't think anyone will read this but years ago, I made an extremely insensitive and offensive comment about how I believed everyone who expressed sadness on an internet forum is faking it. I'd like to apologise for my behaviour. I've been gifted enough to have a supportive network where I always could talk to someone, had I chose to; In the recent years, I've realised that not everyone has that luxury. My two cents: Just remember that no matter what's going, you aren't alone. And no matter how bad it feels, no matter how much you feel like you're not worthy of love, you are, and it's very likely someone loves you, and someone will love you. Even if it feels like no one notices when you're upset or when you break, it's likely someone does, they just want to respect your privacy. If no one truly does? Remember that you're not a burden, and telling someone is okay. There will be someone willing to listen, maybe they're harder to notice but someone will be there for you.
I really admire you for stepping up and apologising. It take maturity and I appreciate that. I hope God bless you, because this comment you just made have surely made many people feel better about themselves.
Tosh.0 brought me here, and even though this isnt typically my style of music, i have much much much more respect for her than i do for most musicians of today..
loneliness is loneliness, no matter who gets it. because of most people, I'm so insecure. most times I don't even like to go out in public. at school, I show a side of me that I didn't know I even had. I only have one friend that knows how I really am, and even then I don't know if that's actually me
I listened to this while I was depressed and whenever I just hear the intro guitar that makes me shiver. The amounts of sadness this song was underlining for me.. music really can change ur mood in a heartbeat
The sad part is that people changed her to what she looks like in this video because they said she'd be more successful. She dyed her hair, became someone who she wasn't, but she broke from it and you can see from any other video/song after Invisible and Dance Without You who she really is.
+Giovannie Storm inevitability of success succumb to corporate/label standards make yourself prettier to sell werent needed shes beautiful as is and her voice will always shine
Omg, I remember when I was like 15 yo and heard this for the first time. I could relate to this song so much and I still can, which is kind of sad hahah
one day i was at school after a hard night of fighting with my mom. i looked around at my group of friends and wondered if it even mattered if I disappeared. so I didn't talk to anyone for a week and nobody noticed. nobody talked to me. nobody even asked what was wrong. they all made me feel like I was invisible. being alone is a horrible thing. but not being alone but not wanted is even worse. whoever feels invisible don't give up. someone or something will come into your life and change everything. i promise you ❤
Thank god that you didn't talk to them for a week, it just shows that they are not true friends. I'm sorry to hear that by the way, don't forget that you are special and you deserve better than those sick fucks! I hope you find better friends and I wish you the best of luck in life
I used to hear this song on tv every single morning before going to school. Brought me so many memories back them. Such a great song. Who's listening in 2017???
Kawaii KitKat So help yourself. I was bad and I was looking for help and nobody did anything for me. Then I did. I helped myself. I don't blame them. Believe me, it's hard to help people, specially those with social and mind issues. I know this now. So don't wait, do something.
I love her 😍 Skylar Grey is, has and always will be my inspiration. She's different from the other artists, her unique vocals makes her unique and even more talented and she takes up every challenge hands on and doesn't give up without a fight. I totally understand this song so much, as I can easily relate to this as I was like this when I was 13-14 years old. I always looked like me, but got blocked out and I turned into this messed up kid. But then I listened to her and invisible, and she makes me believe in myself. I'm now 17 (almost 18) and still a mess, but I'm getting and feeling better now, thanks to her and this song.
I absolutely love this song... I heard it on the radio for the first time today while driving home.... I came home and immediately starting trying to find out who the artist is. I can't believe this song came out 11 years ago, but it's only just now getting radio play. I feel this one so deep... 😭💔❤
awwww! I found this song...well I first was listening to the songs in this playlist called "demo songs" and then I came across skylar greys song: love the way you lie, I loved her voice! so I checked out each of her songs to put in my playlist (basically just see if she has any songs that I like) and the only song I liked was this song! so yeah, and all this happened yesterday at 1:29am ...I know i should be in bed but I sometimes dance to music before doing that xd ACTUALLY NOT "sometimes" its ALWAYS! I love finding new music too, I used to have 223 songs in my playlist, now it's at 116.
here i am after almost 10 years, this song is real, the world is the same as this song no doubt. Now that im in my twenties this song makes more sense to me.
I was crying cuz...This song remind me so memories of my teenage and OMG.... Ten years has been very fast . Skylar grey is very beautiful and she deserves more...This is his first single
hearing this song , today that i am feeling depressed. Sometimes being invisible is good, like not inviting me to a party which i dont want to go. but most of the time being invisible is so sad,i have always asked why for some it is so easy to blend with others , and why is it so hard for me to express my true self and enjoy my life. I want to make a change , but i always fall into the same state, i want to advance and be happy and stop being so introverted .
hold on tommrows a new day I was tought "Every man for himself and god for us all" Gotta look out for yourself out here and keep your head up follow your passion or find one friends come and go now a days so does family focus on you were all unique ..
To all the people who are struggling and feeling 'invisible' there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay strong and ignore all the hate they just don't want to look in the mirror at themselves. Positivity is key to a good life. There are people out their who care
You know it doesn't really matter if you're invisible to some people. For me, as long as you have your family and even very few true friends that appreciates and loves you, it's more than enough
People comment about being bullied: I know how you feel. Everyday at school, I was singled out, thrown at lockers, my belongings stolen or thrown into the trash. Bit what I did, which have not done, is did up for myself. Next time they shoved me into that locker, I fought back. Socked them in the chin, and they haven't done anything since. Stand up for yourself. I was a nervous wreck, afraid of going to school. Now, I am confident as can be, holding my head high. Don't do it for me or anyone where, do it for yourself.
+Shroud Rehab right we haven't come here for a competition of who has the worst life or who's got it worse, fucking hell why do people like you who try and brag about being mentally ill still exist? there's no fucking 'lol' to that.
Lexus Odaniel It was my 16 birthday and me and my best friend were pretty drunk so he said that his girlfriend was coming over with her friend and that I should go for her friend... the girls came over and I met this girl for the first time.....long story short I met her 15 min later for the first time meeting this girl followed by a couple shots of whisky i banged the shit outta her......I set a record! 15 min! it was a good 16th birthday lol
Everyone's been commenting that this song describes their life. It describes mine too, completely. But the sad part, is that there's too many people that feel this way. And there's too many people that don't care. If I was granted one wish, it would be for all of us to not feel this way all the time. :/
Finding for this song since last to last year finally I got it and happy to listen Skylar grey voice...... #voice like an angel.... She must sing more songs for her fans....
This is a safe place for people who feel different and depressed to go I and share their feelings. Damn its not like they're doing it to gain attention. So many people are alone and have to no one to talk to so they come on here desperate for someone to listen to them. It's not like they aren't grateful for what they have, but they are also humans and have feelings. Some of yall are so rude seriously. Instead of shutting someone down, why don't you give them a hand?
I used to feel like this all the time. Sometimes I still do when i can't help it. It's so hard to keep the happy face on. Everyone I work with thinks that I'm always happy and nice. That nothings wrong. It's worse now that I don't get out except to work and grocery shop. Anyways, It's not as bad as it used to be. I have a friend that I hang out with at work, that actually understands that sometimes me being happy is sometimes a pose. She'll come over to my area randomly, look at me and either crack a joke or just hug me. I'm so glad I have her. i guess i'm one of the lucky ones that has someone to understand me. I hope everyone else finds their someone too.
You don't really need someone to understand you. You shouldn't even care about others or what they think about you. Just learn about biology and evolution, introspect and you'll realize that you don't need the things you were taught you need.
I feel hard nostalgia going on here. After hearing her recent single Cannonball I had to come hack to her old songs from not having to hear them in over 2 years, I truly feel my inner depressed soul come back haha. Skylar is a serious powerful artist to me though. I first heard her as Holly Brook 8 years ago and slowly transitioning to Skylar. I think she was one of the first artist I actually replayed for months and still come back years later. This woman is truly powerful ❤️
I cried so hard. Even tough I don't cut (if you dnt count that one time I did it with a pen..)It relates to me because I always have to feel invisible even if i'm in a group of people, I always feel like the outcast and everyone thinks I'm a joyful person when inside I'm really not and suffering with anger issues and dark thoughts…
+Abby Jensen .....I am so deeply sorry for whatever you are going through Abby. I pray that the Lord gives you peace, and comfort you in all areas of your life, in the name of Jesus. Abby, I know someone who can help take the pain and dark thoughts away, His name is Jesus. If you haven't received Him as your Lord and savior, just invite Him to come into your heart, and trust me He will come and give you Peace, Love, Joy like no one has ever shown to you before. I know it might sound so easy, unbelievable, or even foolish, that just calling the name Jesus, can begin your healing, but trust me, I truly know how you feel, I have been where your are, and it's only Jesus that has given me the strength, love, and comfort, that no one can even imagine of given to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers Abby, may God's Loves, and Peace falls upon you in abundance, in Jesus Holy name I pray....Blessings of the Lord upon you always....Bella!
I scratch at my arm for relief. No matter what I eat its always "that's all your eating?" or "you're going to eat all that?" it makes me feel like shit (like rn) I binge the don't ear for a few days. I feel invisible when I'm in my group of "friends" the only reason I hang out with them is to distract myself. I also hate hanging out with them because they draw attention to my eating habits. I think I'm developing anxiety of eating in front of others. I thinl I'm bulimic but idk.
+Ciel Phantomhive Woah... I can feel your pain. Sometimes I feel the same about my "friends". Maybe it's not about what I eat but I have similar problem. Anyway, I don't feel like they are my real friends. It's just so freakin' fake. I don't really like them and they don't like me too. I have 3 REAL friends, so I have no idea why I'm still hanging with those... fakey fakes. :') Ps I really like your name! It's pretty cool!
This song along with "Heavy" from Linkin Park perfectly describe the pains that so many feel on a daily basis. But just like the song says we are always Invisible. The world doesn't care about your problems...just as long as they are not THEIR problems.
We are all depressed. Every human. The great sadness is horrible but always lingers even when we are most happy. We need to embrace it, instead of brush it off as nothing. Accept it. Look around you, the earth is in turmoil, humanity is in turmoil. What has happened? Corporations and governments. That's what. Greed and money. Selfishness and unwanted desires. How to make people see, is unknown. But for the meantime, embrace your thoughts and embrace your consciousness. Because we are one mind, one soul and one humanity. We are electrical circuits in a sponge. Embrace yourself. Embrace your feelings. Embrace your thoughts. Stay on top of the game. Because that is what it is.
