Hide and Seek Lyrics Artist(Band):Imogen Heap
what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling spin me round again and rub my eyes, this can't be happening when busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads - heavy hide and seek trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life hide and seek trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here) blood and tears (hearts) they were here first Mmmm whacha say, Mmmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whacha say, Mmmm that its all for the best? Because it is Mmmm whacha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whacha say? Mmmm what did she say? ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs speak no feeling no i don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a bit (hide and seek) ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs (hide and seek) speak no feeling no i don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a (you don't care a) bit (hide and seek) oh no, you don't care a bit oh no, you don't care a bit (hide and seek) oh no, you don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit If you find some error in Hide and Seek Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Hide and Seek House | Reviewer: julianne... | 7/17/2008 Hide and Seek | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/2008 I agree with this reviewer below: I also feel firmly it represents the holocaust. The first time I read these words, unfortunately the Holocaust immediately came to mind. If you read each line the you can draw the connections. What a powerful song. It really brings events of the past into the present. Let us never forget. holocaust | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/9/2008 this song is about the holocaust. it makes perfect sense when you listen to each and every lyric [and title]. i had been trying to figure out what this song is really about and then it just clicked. funny!!! | Reviewer: blubber macadamia | 7/14/2008 the 'mmmm whatcha say' part is the besstttt! its from a camp that i go to and in one of the skits they get shot with silly string and whenever they do the fall to the ground as if dead and the song plays when they do. and if multiple people get hit one after another... the part will start over every time someone gets hit. its sooooooooooo funny!!!!!!!! that part brings back soooo many good memories! childhood | Reviewer: jenice | 7/16/2008 This song is definately about reminiscing of childhood (crop circles in the carpet.. spin me round..).. dancing in the living room as a little girl and then she suddendly is grown with busy streets of people and everything was "here first" and suddenly you have a new life.. you grew up so fast and have to deal with adult things.. including relationships anonymous | Reviewer: julianne... | 7/16/2008 idk...at first I thought this was about her parents selling her beloved childhood house...and she talks about the distress she feels as her house empties and her memory-filled house is taken over by strangers...i think the chorus represents her memories of her as a child..her games...her toys...etc...the oily marks on the walls are where her pictures used to hang hmm | Reviewer: kkkkkkkk | 7/13/2008 from my first look i see a sort of "end of the world" type song. the busy messy streets just gave me the visual that people were all in chaos, then how they meant well, they didnt mean to do such terrible things in their lives so that it turned around on them to end the world. car crash? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/2008 I feel like this song represents some sort of accident.. It's hard to understand how it relates to a car accident but if you think about it it really does relate alot to a car accident. As well to a relationship failure, or maybe even war, but I feel like this would be a car crash.. amazing song, one of the most genius songs ever written. War perhaps? | Reviewer: Jim | 7/11/2008 My impression is that its about the how detached we've become in modern times - possibly eluding to the wars in the Middle East. "Dust Settling", "busy streets with people holding their heads heavy" -- Possible NYC 9/11 reference "Trains and sewing machines" -- Simpler times -Industrial revolution prior to the oil boom (we didn't need oil to power them). "mmm wathca say verse" -- reference to the politics of war and the best intentions of those hoping for a better long-term outcome. "ransom notes verse" -- diplomacy, the media, and being held hostage by our dependance on oil. "Speak no feeling....you don't care a bit" -- the general disconnect and apathy with people desensitized and sheltered from the reality of a war being fought far from their shores. Could be about a break up too....war is not that disimiliar ;) Whatever it means, it's a beautiful song. holocaust | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/9/2008 this song is about the holocaust. it makes perfect sense when you listen to each and every lyric [and title]. i had been trying to figure out what this song is really about and then it just clicked. infidelity | Reviewer: keri | 7/7/2008 i think this song is definitely about infidelity. she didn't see it coming (what the hell? this can't be happening) and now she is overwhelmed with the feelings of anger and abandonment (the takeover) to the point of innertia (still life). the most obvious indicator is the line what did SHE say. perhaps he did not seek out this other relationship (you only meant well, of course you did) but now has fallen for someone else and decided they needed to be apart (it's all for the best, it's just what we need) though imogen does not agree with this one sided decision (and YOU decided this). only someone who cares about themself more than the other person can cheat - it's the ultimate act of selfishness, instant physical gratification at the sake of another person's heart. therefore nothing he says after the fact will make up for it, and she can't really believe anything from him anymore, it's all just words (newspaper cut outs), though every word he says cuts her to the bone and her feelings are held hostage in his every word (ransom notes keep falling out your mouth). and she knows deep down that he could only do such a thing if he truly didn't care a bit.
