In the video description, Conan explains the meaning of the song:
This song is about a friend of mine dealing with depression. I could see her sadness and I felt like there was nothing I could do to help, other than to spend time with her and recognize the pain she is going through."
[Verse 1]
You always have your head down
Your hair falls around your face like a curtain
You're always wondering
If the clouds above will ever stop their wrongdoings
You've got a quiet room
I always thought it must have been bad timing
But if you are fine
Then why do I always find you crying?
[Chorus]
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
[Verse 2]
On the silent days
You let your strings slowly start to fray
Your mind tends to float away
And then you're blinded by the things you wish you've never seen
In your bed, you stay
Caught up by all the things you over-complicate
But to you, that's okay
'Cause you're a girl that has been dusted in reality
[Chorus]
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
[Bridge]
And I will always wait up for your call
To give you some solace, but you stall
That's why you're feeling nothing in your cold and aching bones
Anymore, anymore, anymore
Yeah there's something in you eyes these days, I know
Please tell me what you wish for, then I'll go
I'm sorry for intruding, but I just can't watch you fall
Anymore, anymore, anymore
[Chorus]
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
I see right through you
Ooooh
