Microscope music video by Cynthia Lin

Singer Cynthia Lin released the music video for her single “ Microscope“. In the black and white video, she plays her guitar on the beach, while dancers express their inner feelings. Put under a microscope, Cynthia longs to understand what others see in her. Other songs on her album revolve around the lyric “What do you see?” from this, and explore themes of escapism, longing, hope, love, mortality, and ultimately self-discovery. You can get her album on or amazon.

Lyrics to Microscope by Cynthia Lin

you squint your eye

i’m under your microscope

i’m on a slide

i’m outside your velvet rope

i’m waiting to be let in

i’m waiting to be let in

i’m waiting to be let in

i’m trying to be myself

let you study the real me

but i can’t help self-censoring

i’m a living apology

i’m trying to be myself

i just wanna be myself

why is it so hard to be myself with you?

with you

and your objective eye

sizing me up and down

constantly analyzed

i’m trying to be myself

i just wanna be myself

i don’t wanna hide

i don’t wanna hide

what do you see?

wish i could see what you see

what i hide

i’m on a slide

a living mystery

a self apology
