We are violating self-imposed rules by posting “Invisible” by Grace Davies. The rule we are prepared to disclose, because it doesn’t sound elitist, is that posting should be based on the song, not the video. But the video of “Invisible” is powerful in its ability to work with the lyrics and the vocals. Empathy is the result.
In talking about the sadness of “Invisible, Grace Davies said:
“No happy ending, no glimmer of hope because that’s how I felt at the time. Every single word is the truth. My lyrics are like diary entries. Whatever I’m feeling comes tumbling out, however horrible. Writing that song was like therapy, I’d never written lyrics that raw before and as soon as I did, I began to feel better. I knew straight away I had my first single. I hope the song helps other people in the same situation as much as it did me. Share the sadness and move on.”
Grace Davies is from Blackburn, UK. She will release an EP later this year.

Lyrics of “Invisible” by Grace Davies
I don't wanna talk about it
There isn't much to say
I don't have an excuse to why
I won't come to your party
And I don't want my picture taken
I'd hate it anyway
No, I don't wanna spoil your night
Just go have fun without me
I'm pushing food around my plate
'Cause my father said I'm overweight
Well, maybe he'd feel better
If I just disappeared altogether and I
Got so good at faking smiles
I can do it for a little while
Just don't ask me if I'm okay
'Cause I'm not okay. No
It's hard to show you something invisible
No tears, no scars, no bruises, it's not physical
It's covered up and hidden tight
Beneath the skin, inside the mind
You wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't even know
Invisible, invisible, invisible
I don't wanna shout about it
Make it about me
'Cause they've already aired all of my problems on TV
Got everything I ever wanted, but nothing that I need
If anything it's just another reason I feel guilty
And I don't really cry no more
Guess I'm just used to insecure
Just don't ask me if I'm okay
'Cause I'm not okay. No
It's hard to show you something invisible
No tears, no scars, no bruises, It's not physical
It's covered up and hidden tight
Beneath the skin, inside the mind
You wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't even know
Invisible, invisible, invisible
I'm standing under all the lights
The focus of a thousand eyes
You wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't even know
I feel invisible, invisible, invisible
