Wow. | Reviewer: Shelby | 9/3/08 I listen to this song and touches me. i don't know exactly what it's about, but i think that everybody interprets it in such different ways, all personal to their own lives, that that's what makes it so amazing. The fact that there's no music - woah that just blows my mind. Such a simple theory that turns out so amazing. Just wow. Ending of a relationship | Reviewer: Stormyeyez | 8/31/08 Parts of it seem like it could be a commentary on society, but overall it has vibes of a relationship ending abruptly. "where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling" Immediately after...you don't know what is going on. As the dust settles and the numbness starts to wear off you get that 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" This too seems to be about disorientation, disbelief. "hide and seek trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first" this part kind of throws me, but a relationship can be like hide and seek. "oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life" Where pictures conveying happy moments are, now are painful reminders of what was lost. The takeover could be reference to another woman taking over her place. *skip chorus* "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?" All common lines used when leaving someone. "it's for the best" "this is what we need" Again a reference to another woman. "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" Meaningless words being said to smooth things over and her disbelief of anything he says. I can't say how many times I have listened to this song in the past few days. trains and sewing machines | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/30/08 I disagree with some of the interpretations about what trains and swewing machines symbolize... for me... I was thinking along the lines that life is full of train wrecks and we are always trying to sew our lives back together... much more metophorical than standing for her mother or father's roles.... Aliens | Reviewer: LC | 8/31/08 Hi Im leah just wondering if anyone elce thinks this song is about aliens just putting that out their i've been trying to convince my friends just wondering what this song is acually about.n It's realy cool song hide and seek | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/08 the meaning hides and we seek it. just like any poetry, we can make our own interpretations. but really, the true meaning lies within the author. we can appreciate it, that's the much we could do. we percieve the art, we try to put meaning into it. the song is good, not just the lyrics, but the melody more importantly. America | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/15/08 I think this song is very deep, and could reflect a number of things, her childhood memories, her being left foranotherwman, but I think it most reflects Americans and how cruel we can be. Americans are very judgemental. You see a bigger person standing on thre street, we automatically assume they are a fast-food junkie, you see a super-skinny girl walking down the street, you assume she's annorexic or bulemic. America and the next generation of kids have a lot to deal with, and parents have no idea of how to prepare their kids, because they had no preperation themselves. Hide and Seek | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/11/08 I think this song could mean any of the things the reviewers before me have spectated. I think that's the beauty of it. It ables you to interperate the meaning your own way so you feel the most out of it. It is a truly beautiful song and I find it a shame that it mostly known for the "Dear Sister" parody from SNL. It deserves a better legacy than that. :) Society | Reviewer: Liz | 7/31/08 I think this song is more about society, and life in general. About how there were other people before us, who had their own lives and families and worlds. Then we come, and just like the people before us, we have to figure out our own lives. It also reflects on the people around us, the people we love, hate, and will never come to meet or get to know. Everyone in society has their own life, and we live them separately. This song reflects on the fact that we will never know what would happen if we truly lived our lives together with the others in the world. Musical and Lyrical Appreciation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/1/08 First of all I would like to say, Thank you to the directors of the O.C. that decided to use this song in the tragic scene. This song would not have reached the ears of most, and therefore the musical value that this song posesses could not have been appreciated. Second, This song is full of musical tension which gives the listener a feeling of quivering and sublimity. It is sad, and empowering all at the same time. Musically, the chords send chills up my spine. There is so much tension with the clashing notes and digital construction giving it a really rugged feel. The range of notes and the way they are arranged make for an amazing description of emotions that are felt during situations that are strenuous to the human condition. The variation of the dynamics provoke the listener to really feel what the artist is saying. The combinations of loud and soft really speak to the frustration and helplessness that one may feel during a crisis in ones life. The lyrics, i think they reflect the desperate times in life, and how life still goes on outside of your own circle of terror. I also think that it brings to life how cruel the world really is. It seems like she is trying to describe what growing up really is. You slowly begin to feel the hardships of life, and then all of a sudden they hit you like a ton of bricks, and you can't understand how to cope with it. The difficulties and the questions of how and why things are so difficult to deal with, and then the realization that everyone has to be out for ones self.
