"Hide and seek" - the jews used to hide in closets or anywhere they could find to get away from the nazi's who most of the time found them anyway. "trains and sewing machines" - the Nazi's put them on trains and they had to work with sewing machines at the concentration camps i think you all can figure out the rest Well. | Reviewer: Nicole | 9/6/09 Ever since my breakup with my boyfriend (he's a dumb bastard, but for some sick reason I love him... what does that say about me?), I have listen to this song nonstop. I hope he feels like shit. This was his fault. And he lied about caring for me, he never cared. Meaning of Hide and Seek | Reviewer: Sharon Swayze | 9/5/09 I have always thought this song meant a breakup or divorce because of the "crop circles in the carpet" part. Like when you move a piece of furniture that has been there a long time and you can try to get rid of the circle but it just takes time to go back to normal. I never understood the part about trains and sewing machines but after watching silence of the lambs not too long ago I thought maybe it was about the one girl in that movie who was abducted and killed and then Clarice goes to her house and she is standing in her bedroom and looks out the window and there is a train track behind her house and then Clarice notices the sewing machine and then it clicks for her. It's about love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/09 I have a hard time believing this song is about anything but a failing relationship. So much of Imogen's other music is about love, it seems odd to interpret this song to be about "American Indians," especially since she isn't American and has no particular reason to be interested in that subject. (not to mention the very first stanza talks about carpet, something obviously associated with the modern home and NOT regularly seen in relationship with American Indians. To me, this is about a breakup. Just look at some of the diction: "pleasure moments" and "mid-sweet talk" (read 'amid sweet talk'). Then the most repeated phrase of the song spoken at the end while fading out is "you don't care bit," indicating the absolute importance of this single line--realizing the rejection. This is a song of rejection and breaking up. Anything else makes NO sense to me, especially not the "American Indian" interpretation. Regardless, it is poetry, and one may interpret it how they want. I believe this, however, was how it was written. I love Imogen's music, whatever the case. I agree | Reviewer: Camy | 8/31/09 I agree with "umm..." about it being about divorce. You guys are right that it could be about anything but that's the first interpretation I ever heard and it always made the most sense to me for every word in the song while the others where a bit more general. Either way it's a beautiful song <3 No "true" meaning | Reviewer: Lo | 8/29/09 Well, I for one doubt that it was meant to be specifically about American Indians, since the artist is English. It could definitely be about hostile, land grabbing take overs in a general way, however. It's just as applicable to the English Empire's colonization of India as the Americans taking land from the American Indians. I've read so many interpretations of this song, from the one on American Indians, to a child who goes through a divorce, to a mistress who is being left. Many musicians write with the hopes that it will mean something to you and hit home with you. It doesn't necessarily matter what they meant, as long as it moves you. Art is meant to make you feel. jessica | Reviewer: Jessica | 8/27/09 This song meant so much to me about four years ago when I was first introduced to. It's so powerful in a way I can't explain and I was going through such a hard time I get emotional just thinking about it. But slowly as life went on I haven't heard it in so long now, until I heard the new Jason Derulo song on the radio. I think it's an okay song, but I owe it a great amount of thanks for reintroducing me to Hide and Seek which I immediately looked up on itunes after years of being skipped over. It's still as beautiful as it ever was :) the truth | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/09 there might of been an initial reason for this song, but only the artist truly knows that. but what is really amazing is that this will mean something different to everybody. there is no specific meaning for every person. the symbolism in this song allows each and every person to make it personal. this song is amazing. wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/09 the first time i heard this song i broke out in tears. imogen heap is one of few artists who's music can evoke such a reaction and her work is my definition of great music. love this track...amazing vocalist and musician Read the lyrics again. | Reviewer: Taft | 8/23/09 My pops opened my eyes to the meaning of this song, I have always loved the song but didn't really know what it meant until about 2 years ago but it makes complete sense now. It is completely about the masacre of indians that took place during the birth of our country. (usa) Really, read the lyrics again and it all makes sense, Oily markes appear on walls.....before the takeover. Read them and think a little deeper. Love the song even more. You will too, sad stuff.
