Honestly I love how the lyrics are like "I don't wanna go" "leave without me" and then they're like "I wasn't invited, never invited" I don't know why I find that so sad it's like you come up with excuses for not doing things for so long that after a while people just stop inviting you, these lyrics are perfect
And God that lyric change of "please forget me and be happy on your own" has me screaming

Idk for you guys, but the way I interpret this song is very sad. It's an introvert's anthem, sure, but it's also a depression anthem. It's about that fine line dividing the feeling of "i don't wanna go out because interacting with people tires me" and the feeling of "i'm isolating myself because depression makes me feel like i shouldn't go out or even leave my bed". It's about not really knowing on what side of that line you are right now, and then coming up with excuses to justify the side you want to be. It's about the fear of not being invited to hang out with your friends anymore because hey, you're an introverted right, you don't like getting out that much, so we won't be inviting you anymore. And then your friends go out, and they have fun, and they take pictures and keep talking about it and then you start to feel like shit cause you didn't go out with them, and you start feeling guilty, and you get restless and anxious and end up feeling disgusting and hating yourself. And at some point you start thinking that maybe it's better that way. It's better that everyone go out and have fun and live their lives without you. They'll be happy that way. And then, when no one else cares about you anymore, maybe you can leave this world peacefully. The end of the song even seems like some kind of goodbye, with "take care of my family and my home" and all. And damn man, if this is what Cavetown meant... then I've never listened to a song that hits so close to home in my entire life.

“Please forget me and be happy on your own. Just add water let me go”
My friend (roommate) passed away this past February. She’d graduated, and just two months later.. I received a text that she was gone.. just like that. I didn’t know what to do or believe. I listened to Cavetown the rest of the night... songs made for Casper, so genuine. I’m so appreciative of Rob for making music that shares who he is. Each time I listen, it reminds me of her.

i mean throughout the whole song it’s like “please don’t invite me” and “i don’t wanna go” but then the “i wasn’t invited, never invited” shows that when you are always making up excuses to not hang out with your friends and always not going, they just stop inviting you and stop giving a shit, i relate to this in so many ways and I think it’s just amazing and beautiful and really has a message a lot if people cab relate to

Gah I don't understand how I can relate so much to a freaking song!! "Don't invite me, I wanna be alone" and "Feeling salty.. Not invited, Never invited" Is like so true for me cause I never wanna go anywhere cause I have really bad social anxiety but then I get really sad when I see my friends hanging out without me... Ugh it's so contradictory. Then "I'll sleep until it's over..When I wake up greet me with a hug, a body warm and loving, show me I'm not disgusting" Like seriously that's so me. If something really stressful is happening I just avoid it, but I'll I need is a hug and someone to tell me I'm not..well.. disgusting.
