When you don't see me...
It's not a matter of going to grow
It's not a matter of time or how I feel
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now
What you see is what you never had
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
Oh, it's kind of different when your there
You can lease the peace of mind
You bought a mask, I put it on
You never thought to ask me
If I wear it when you're gone
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
You never learned
You bought me
Everything and less
I turned
You couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove
What you see is what you lost
If I were you I wouldn't try
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...

Review about When You Don't See Me Great Song | Reviewer: Dusty Grave | 3/27/2008
One of the catchier tunes by this essential goth rock band. I love the dark and sinister story of an elusive heartbreaker. The song makes me think of two things; a vampire and a heartbreaker. Who knows, it could be both: a vampire heartbreaker! It seems as though there is passion between the lovers when they are together. Yet as the title of the song suggests, that all changes when they are apart. He claims to "disappear" which leaves the listener to decide if he means that literally or figuratively in the sense that there are no monogamous ties holding them together (Out of sight out of mind). There also seems to be an innocence, or maybe just ignorance on the part of his lover, as if she doesn't realize that she is not the "only one." The mask is a widely used symbol for personality, the face we put on to show the world, or in this case the one he puts on for her. This suggests two things; 1 that he is merely playing a part for her and 2 that he is completely different when she's gone. Kind of a ruthless way to play the game, but not too uncommon in the dating world I think. I love how this song songs good on any level. One can take it lightly and just enjoy the rocking guitar riff (a la Billy Idol) and one can also delve into the psychological meanings that may or may not be hidden in these words. Regardless, Ithink it is a great song and Ilisten to it a lot. My band, Stellar Corpses is working on a psychobilly/ punkrock version of it.
