Review about Hide And Seek ? | Reviewer: Eric | 11/9/09 I love how Andrew laid it out factually, then Ashley comes along and offers the typical ignorant response. This is Imogen Heap a British/German singer, not Toby Keith. As previously stated, 5 minutes on Wikipedia makes a world of difference. It just goes to show you that the song is what you make of it (which is what Imogen intends with her music) no matter how different the interpretations may be. I think the best way to sum it up is to say this song is about betrayal by [insert anyone you've felt betrayed by here]. As far as my review is concerned, this is a breath of fresh air and can't even be ruined by Jason Derulo's horrible "remake". divorce | Reviewer: Leah | 11/7/09 When i first heard this song i had no idea what it meant. i heard many meanings and they all seemed to make some sort of sense but the one that caught my attention the most was divorce. Her parents are divorced and if you listen to the lyrics the way she explains everything it makes so much sense. I wanted to believe the song meant more then another relationship song, but it really speaks to me in this way now. It really could mean anything. its important to find what the song means to you. oh, ps, jason derulo should be slapped for cutting up imogens masterpiece and turining it into another annoying mainstream song. what ive heard... | Reviewer: maymay | 11/6/09 This is just what I've heard off and on, but I'm pretty sure its about capturing animals and killing them for their furs... I know it sounds kinda odd at first, but it makes sense... just think about it... it seems like a really good interpretation to me! LOL lets just agree to disagree! | Reviewer: Ashley | 11/6/09 There are so many meanings to this song, and I'm almost positive none of us are "Right". The song has a meaning to everyone that reads it! And there is no need for argument about what we interpret it to be. Just for my own entertainment, I like to think of this song to symbolize the 9/11 indecent. Where she refers to the crop circles, they could be for me, a way of saying the debris from the towers, to have began to fall upon the city, as people in busy streets hold their heads heavy. And everyone knows about the suspicison that the President supposedly knew about all of this. And where she said, "That you only meant well, of course you did, that its all for the best?" and "you decided this". In my opinion is a way of saying that this was known to happen. Hide and seek is refering to the search for the "real culpret", (the reason for the war in Iraq and Pakistan). And the line "where oily marks on walls" are of the families that were affected by the tragedy. But like I said, this song can be interpreted many different ways, if it couldn't then it would not be music, and Imogen would not be an artist. Cracking meaning | Reviewer: Andrew | 11/6/09 My personal thought on this starts with the artist. It is safe to say that Imogen Heap is working in an abstract medium of music. She directly states that she actively seeks to record sounds, remove the life from them, and then "breathe her own life" into them. Abstraction is an artistic tool that she is using. In any medium of art, be it music, visual or otherwise, abstraction is useful because the meaning of a piece becomes removed from conventional ways of thinking. For instance, go look up Piet Modrian's painting "Composition with Black White and Red". Interpretations of his work are highly subjective. However, true abstraction does not begin from nothingness. SOME thing inspired Mondrian, however even he may not know what it is. The point that artists like Mondrian wish to make is not that a piece of art can resonate the SAME feeling with viewers as it does for the creator, but that art simply resonates. Five minutes on Wikipedia will tell you that Imogen's parents split up when she was young, possibly a motivation for this piece as it pertains to the "affair" theory, which seems to me the best supported argument among these, but regardless, the way WE interpret the piece is purely subjective. I do not think Imogen herself would want us to derive a single, concrete meaning from this composition. Anyhow, those are my thoughts, I would love to have dialogue about this, so feel free to email me at ASPAM159@gmail.com what she means | Reviewer: relle | 11/4/09 i definately think she is refering to a break up that has hurt her. i think the break up is due to the guy cheating on her. she doesnt trust him anymore and she doesnt ever want to feel that way again. meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/3/09 I find it interesting that every interpretation f the song's meaning takes one part of the lyrics at its face value: some believe its kidnapping because of the ransom note line, some believe its a relationship because of the bridge (thats what its called not the chorus) and others the holocaust because of the takeover line. Isn't it possible that the whole song is metaphorical, nothing is exactly what it says. I think its about loss in general and is up to you to take it how you hear it. Completely agree with Tyler!!! | Reviewer: Kaitlin | 11/2/09 Just had to say I totally agree with Tyler's review! Especially with the analysis of the "oily marks on the walls"!! Brilliant. The "sweeping insensitivity" line just adds to the cheating lover theory...beautiful song, haunting voice.. cheating lover | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/3/09 my take on it is that it's about a deep long-lasting relationship, maybe a marriage, that has been disrupted by the (let's say) husband having an affair. the song very much centers around the family home and i think hide and seek has many meanings-it was played in the house, the husband is hiding from the facts of what hes done etc 'where are we what the hell is going on' -shes confused about hat has happened. 'the where are we' refers to their relationship. 'the dust has only just begun to fall crop circles in the carpet' -its only just happened and there are literally marks in the carpet from where furniture has been moved. 'spin me round and rub my eyes' - shes really confused and her life has been spun around by the news. 'trains and sewing machines' - maybe they have kids and these are the things that are a part of the family home that has been disrupted by the affair 'all those years/blood and tears they were here first' - the couple have been through a lot before this event that changed everything 'oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before' -pictures of family times were taken down and all thats left is the oily mark. 'the takeover' -could be the takeover of another woman or the new way of life after the affair was outed the 'mmm watcha say...' bit is like dialogue between the couple, him trying to justify what he did and her sarcasm-'well of course you did' it's a really beautiful and complicated song but i think once you understand the meaning it's simple. i feel sorry for the guy who thinks its about kidnap :O and the holocaust and what-not cause its blatantly not. xx <3 Being dumped | Reviewer: Jen Finn | 11/3/09 I reckon it could easily be about being cheated on but having just been broken up with, it's really resonating with me and I find myself singing this now and really feeling this is what I feel! "where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling" This is the confusion before the break up, when the relationship is slipping through your fingers and you don't know why. the dust is forming on your relationship, on your photographs, on the things you shared and there's this sinking feeling of losing the one you love "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" utter confusion/devastation... how can this be happening and people just continue as normal "hide and seek trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first" literally no idea how to relate this but I just feel its you seeking answers, confusion "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 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 what you're saying How can this be the best? Why's this your decision and not mine? And you humour them, like yeah course, this pain is the 'best' option "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" you're defending yourself but it doesn't matter you don't really wants best, you don't care about the relationship I'm pretty sure I'm just desperately relating it to my own situation but this is how I feel Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next 10 Pages Review the song Hide And Seek The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
