INVISIBLE

About this song

The song is the first track on the album Future Past. It was used in an internet meme about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and fans began treating it as the game's theme song even though it came out almost nine years after the game.

What it's about

The singer is still attached to someone or something, such as an ex-lover, the world, or the band's old fans, who ignores him. He asks them just to say his name, which would bring finality and let him move on, but they still don't acknowledge him, so he feels invisible to them.
