She has a 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 Here she is being spun around by the kidnapper to lose her sense of direction, she still cant believe whats happening and that no one in the busy streets can stop it. hide and seek trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first Her abduction itself is being portayed by the game of hide and seek, because at the moment she is being hidden, and there are people out looking for her. Train and sewing machines, possibly she was abducted on a train, im not sure. Mmmm whatcha say, Mmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whatcha say, Mmmm that it's all for the best? of course it is Mmmm whatcha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whatcha say? Mmmm what did she say? This is the kidnapper communicating with the family, saying he needs the money and doesnt want to hurt her, and at the end is the family asking what she has said. 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 Ranson notes keep falling out your mouth, this is quite literal to the kidnapper passing ransom notes to the family. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts, is the kidnapper using words cut from newspapers to write his ransom notes. At the end she is talking to the kidnapper with you dont care a bit. It is about cheating | Reviewer: Tyler | 10/28/09 I wholly disagree that this song is a metaphor or about the holocaust. This song IS about her cheating lover. She just found out. "Hide and seek" refers to her confusion whether to stay away from him or speak to him. "Mmmm whatcha say, Mmm that you only meant well? well of course you did" She is referring to his lame justification and that of course he never meant to hurt her "Mmmm whatcha say, Mmmm that it's all for the best? of course it is Mmmm whatcha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whatcha say?" She is referring to things people say like this will add to their strength or his infideltuty bringing a a problem into specefic relief. "Mmmm what did she say?" What did the NEW girl say, you bastard? Oily marks that appear on the walls is where they would have sex and the lube/oils from their hands left prints from "where pleasure moments hung before" It goes on and on but it is DEFINITELY not a metaphor or about the Jewish strife. It is indisputably about her despair after a cheating lover confesses to her. "They were here first"---all our good times came before this. We are stronger than this moment, we havent always been bad together. The Holocaust?? Come on! I love this song. It is a key-hole gimpse ito her upside-down world and brilliantly done. muliti-Meaning/ Symbolism | Reviewer: LaMonica16 | 10/27/09 this song has a great deal of symbolism and metaphors in it. "where are we? what the hell is going on" anger. shes frustrated at life's multiple changes that people like u and me have to deal with thru life. the dust and crop stains are where someone has moved out her life and how much emtiness is left-"sinking feeling". and the trains represent transition.the sewing machine is a symbol of making something new again.and how she doesnt think she going to move on and forgive "i dont belierve u, u dont care a bit". and all of the "blood n tears" she went thru in the relationship.shes nothing without him now."the sweeping insensitivity if this still life"..idk thats what i got out of it mostly.. Meaning | Reviewer: Maria | 10/25/09 I dont think this is about a divorce or anything to do with love, if it was it would be so lame cause thats what ALL other songs are about. when I read the lyrics the holocaust comes to my mind, and thats what I think its about. But this song can have many meanings to different people, it has the meaning you want it to have ^^ reference to divorce? | Reviewer: gabby | 10/21/09 I think there are many valid interpretations of this song, but the one I see above all else is about divorce or splitting up (maybe her parents, maybe her own). the "crop circles in the carpet" refers to the mark left when furniture is moved out, and "dust has only begun to form" also refers to moving out of someplace, leaving an old life behind. also the "oily marks appear on walls, where pleasure moments hung before" talks about the marks left on the wall where happy family photos hung before they were taken down. the chorus explains itself, divorced parents and couples have always said that "its all for the best" and that "they only mean well", although she agrees with them in the chorus, its more of a sarcastic response and she doesnt actually support the decision they made. just thought id share :) Maybe it was the loss of a friend?... | Reviewer: Ashley | 10/23/09 Maybe this song is talking about the denial of a loss of a very dear friend that everyone loved dearly. I know it sounds a little off but really look at the lyrics and maybe you'll see where i'm coming from. Many reasons... | Reviewer: Ashley | 10/22/09 Listening to this song and reading other comments on here made me really think about what the author may have been talking about when she wrote this. There are a variety of reasons why she wrote this. A divorce, the Holocaust, the world itself changing, and from my own input maybe a friendship that has somehow and for some reason ended. Either way, this song seems to talk about different types of change. Or maybe as one person put it, she wrote it just to be an artist with words. Whatever the reason for it, it is truly a beautiful song and I could listen to it all day. It's an extremely deep song and it can hit a lot of hearts very hard if it brings out the right message to everyone that listens to it. Real meaning | Reviewer: Alyssa | 10/20/09 This song is about divorce. Crop circles in the carpet meaning where furniture once was. Oily marks appear on the walls is you cna see where pictures once were. Trains and sewing machinces is a train on a wedding dress and sewing machine to make the dress and oh you wont catch me around her anymore that she wont go back to gettting married. It may be that the husband cheated, mmmm whatcha say mmmm what did she say. poetry | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/20/09 this song is pure poetry about an experiance shes seen/read about or knows someone whos been through this. she is writing poetry from her heart and singing with such a unique style. this is perfection and more people need to listen to music like this instead of mindless music that is degrading to people and useless lyrics about sex and drugs! Anything | Reviewer: Anonomyous | 10/19/09 I think this song is whatever you make of it. I think its an amazing song. And it deserves to be talked about. But you dont need to really worry about what its about. Just know its awesome. I see some people just trying to figure the song out but its pointless! Just enjoy it. No one is actually going to figure it out unless they hear it from Imogean Heap herself and most of us won't. You can still have your own oppinion and share it but don't constantly think about it. Remember thats just pointless! Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
