All of those things.

Me writing this song was just kind of this, I'm shouting it from the top of the mountains.

I'm screaming, I'm shouting, I'm waving my hands.

And then I end the hook with, "Invisible man, I fall of this invisible death," speaking to the fact that, a lot of times, and this isn't almost nothing to do with just Black artists, but just Black people in this country, in this world, as we've seen in a lot of the traumatic things that we've had to witness over and over that these people don't become visible until they're dead.

I guess this song is really like, "Before you wait for that moment, see me now.

This is the invisible man right here."

You have to acknowledge the heavy stuff to get to the end of the hook and to the end of this idea that I can't predict the future, I can't be overly anxious or worry about what will happen or what has happened.

I just have this present moment, and in this present moment, I'm alive.
