Wait a minute, let me finish
I know you don’t care, but can you listen?
I came committed, guess I overdid it
Wore my heart out on a chain around my neck
And now it’s missing
So I think I better go
I never really know how to please you
You’re looking at me like I’m see-through
I guess I’m gonna go
I just never know how you feel
Do you even feel anything?
You said, “Don’t treat me badly”
But you said it so sadly, so I did the best I could
Not thinking you would have left me gladly
I know you’re not sorry, why should you be?
‘Cause who am I to be in love when your love is never for me?
So I think I better go
I never really know how to please you
You’re looking at me like I’m see-through
Exploring Vulnerability in “See Through”
“See Through” by Billie Eilish delves into the emotional turmoil of feeling invisible in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has given their all, only to feel overlooked and unappreciated. The lines, “You’re looking at me like I’m see-through,” capture a sense of isolation and longing for genuine connection. The song carefully balances self-reflection with sorrow, as the narrator questions their own worth and the authenticity of the relationship. Eilish’s writing style is intimate, capturing the rawness of heartbreak and the confusion that comes with loving someone who cannot reciprocate.
