Like most of the album, it’s a song about having secrets that you kid yourself you’re doing a great job of hiding, when they’re written all over your face. The woman in “The Archer,” she believes she’s making a bold confession, unaware that her intimacies are already obvious.
I kinda disagree with this interpetation of "The Archer" because the repeated "they see right through me" is a haunting, rising confession that she KNOWS that they all already know. It's a double meaning, though: she's transparent, exposed, can hide nothing. But she's also transparent, invisible, not truly known by anyone.
