The song was posted to the Fond My Mind Discord Server by former Lyon Funk community member Nep L’Artificier. Nep edited the song’s audio by adding a strobe effect and altering the pitch and/or speed of the song. Most of Nep’s songs were from the 80s and 2010s, but most people theorized this song was from the 80s.
Nep didn't remember the name of the song, which led to his name being kept anonymous in reposts to prevent him from being spammed with messages.
His entire collection of unidentified songs were posted to YouTube on September 28th, 2024, by user Lost Content & Nostalgic Videos. Other unknown and formerly unknown songs such as Push It To The Limit and Help Me Now originated from the same collection as this one.
In early 2025, Nep privated all of his videos, and on February 17th 2025, Q uploaded a 40 minute compilation of all the unidentified songs he had posted, including this one. The compilation included 30 other unknown songs and six songs in need of verification, but it was taken down by Nep only a day later.
On June 20th, 2025, the song was identified by Discord user Nel along with Cesar (gymforma) as Can’t You See Me by Cobbler & Mandoki, after Nel ran a song identification site through Cesar’s personal collection.
Lyrics[]
You're never gonna stop the hurting
Can't see what I want to, I know
Yes, I know
We're living [only hard as faction/heart attraction]
We gotta need satisfaction, I know
Yes, I know
Don't wanna see you cry
When we can't make it right
It's time to break free
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
No [other lies]
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
I don't care anymore
We are on the road to nowhere
We take a step back to future
I know
Yes, I know
I'm diving down deep to myself
It's much too late for love songs now
Oh, right now
Don't wanna see you cry
When we can't make it right
It's time to break free
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
No other lies
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
I don't care anymore
Oh, oh
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
No, no other lies
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
I don't care anymore
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
No, no other lies, oh
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
I don't care anymore
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
Can't you see me, can't you feel me
Can't you see me, can't you hear me
No other lies, [I realize]
