'Invisible' lyrics by U2

Invisible is the song title of a new U2 song, their first since the 2013 release of Ordinary Love.

Described as an 'anthemic number about leaving one's hometown', Bono’s lyrics reflect a journey from obscurity to visibility, capturing the longing to break free from the past and the desire to assert one's individuality. 

The refrain "I'm more than you know, I'm more than you see here" speaks to a universal struggle for recognition, particularly among those who feel marginalized or overlooked. 

This idea is amplified by the song’s association with (RED), U2’s long-standing AIDS awareness initiative, where the act of making the invisible visible takes on broader humanitarian implications.

Invisible song lyrics by U2

It’s like the room just cleared of smoke
I didn’t even want the heart you broke
It’s yours to keep
You just might need one

I finally found my real name
I won’t be me when you see me again
No, I won’t be my father’s son

I’m more than you know
I’m more than you see here
More than you let me be
I’m more than you know
A body in a soul
You don’t see me but you will
I am not invisible

That's right
I’ll be in the invisible world

I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about you that much
Unless I start to think at all

All those frozen days
And your frozen ways
They melt away your face like snow

I’m more than you know
I’m more than you see here
I’m more than you let me be
I’m more than you know
A body in a soul
You don’t see me but you will
I am not invisible
I am here

There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only us
There’s only us
There is no them
There is no them
There’s only you
And there’s only me
There is no them

Invisible is yet another Bono lyric that features a reference to his Father, check out the discussion at Mothers and Fathers.
