What does "se me ve" mean?
Para aprender español, una cosa que he estado haciendo es escuchar música con letras españolas. En una canción que escuché, se usa la frase "el temor no se me ve". ¿Por qué se usa el 'se'?
In order to learn Spanish, one thing I have been doing is listening to music with Spanish lyrics. In one song that I hear, they use the phrase "el temor no se me ve". Why is the 'se' used there?

Pero está tan oscuro que el miedo no se ve
yo me huelo lo que siento por eso presiento
que dentro del circuito me queda poco tiempo
en el próximo tren yo me monto
prepárame la cena que regreso pronto
But it's so dark that you can't see the fear
and I smell what I feel , a premonition,
that on this lap ( in this round) I have little time left
I'll get on the next train
get my supper reday , I'll be back shortly ..
That 's what I think it means, more or less. The ' se' makes it clear that it's the fear that not lets itself be seen.
To me it looks like the verb is being used in a pronominal sense, verse. Perhaps a native speaker can answer why.
