Can't Be Seen

The speaker describes a relationship that feels intense but cannot safely continue. At first, he says he cannot be seen with the other person and admits he feels out of control around them. The emotion shifts between desire, regret, and an effort to end things. Later, he explains that the other person is married, making the relationship impossible in his view.

“Can’t be seen” suggests more than avoiding a public meeting: it implies secrecy and fear of being discovered. The claim that “they set us up so they can shoot us down” pictures the couple as targets, expressing a sense that outside forces may punish or destroy them. “Six feet underground” means buried after death, while “hit and run” suggests something brief, reckless, and potentially harmful.

The speaker presents separation as being “for your own sake,” but the lyrics leave open whether this is selfless concern or a way to manage his own fear and pain. He calls the relationship a dream, yet also says it is hard to stop and that he cannot get used to being without the other person. The repeated insistence that it is “too dangerous” may refer to real consequences, emotional risk, or both.
