invincible — Summary

I don't see no one to talk to No one to share my thoughts No one to love or just hang with I hear no one around I don't know anyone from here The only thing I hear is sounds from the waves on the water Animals making noises Vehicles passing by on the highway It is like this place These people are strangers to me But who knows I just might be a stranger to myself Sometimes I feel like I am invincible to the whole wide world Even if I had someone to talk to I probably stay to myself I am afraid to tell anyone of how I really feel about myself I feel like I am invincible To everything and everyone In fact I believe that everything in the world that goes wrong is my fault The world sees me invincible So I must be

The speaker is somewhere unfamiliar, surrounded by waves, animals, and traffic on a highway but no one to talk to. The sounds of the place are the only company they have, and the people around them are strangers. Then the poem turns inward: the speaker wonders if they are a stranger to themselves too.

The word "invincible" keeps coming back, and it doesn't sound like a boast. It seems to mean untouchable, cut off from everyone, and maybe hiding. The speaker admits they would keep quiet even if someone were there, because they're afraid to say how they really feel about themselves. The ending is the most telling part. They believe everything that goes wrong is their fault, and they decide that if the world sees them as invincible, they must be. It reads like someone borrowing a tough image to cover pain. The mood is lonely, quiet, and quietly heavy.

strangers

Even though we are family and friends it seems that we are strangers to each other The main reason why I said that because we don't even know each other anymore You think you know me but you don't even take the time to listen or talk If we do try it seems it always turn into a fuss and fight
