From Romford to New York, Back to back private recitals to a live debut before 150,000 people, Imogen Heap has come a long way since her childhood days in Essex. Still 20 years old, strikingly individual and ahead-turning 6 feet tall, Imogen Heap's name is an real as her music. You're unlikely to forget either.... Imogen spent her formative years in Essex, relocating to a Quaker boarding school in Cambridge at the age of 12. A loner at heart, Imogen found solace in the adjoining Music school, where she could take flight from the claustrophobia of boarding school life. The secluded music room bore witness to Imogen's growing confidence, from learning the blues scales on piano, to pacifying her bullies with private recitals and exclusive snips of songs in progress.

(Submit New Imogen Heap Lyrics) (Submit New Imogen Heap Lyrics) Review about Imogen Heap what she means | Reviewer: relle ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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. The song brings happiness to me | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Can't Take It In performed by Imogen Heap Instead of trying to find some reason to explain why I feel the way I do (which could fill a lifetime for some), I can just replace that effort with thinking about what I want in my life and concentrate on that. This song describes what we feel when we just concentrate upon that which we want as a habit. meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 Many meanings | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap I don't think the symbolism pertains to just one thing. It could be a lover or a war or the holocaust. Any low point in time could have this song to justify it. IT is beautiful and people need to think of this song as how they percieve it and not argue about its meaning Kidnapping? | Reviewer: DH ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling At the start she is disorientated because she has been kidnapped, thats why she asked where she is and whats going on, crop circles in the carpet literally means that furniture has been moved away from where she is being held, leaving the marks in the carpet, however the crop circles itself is a metaphor for someone alien abducting her. 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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.. Emotional review! | Reviewer: Jerry Pevehouse ------ About the song Blanket performed by Imogen Heap Never was a Jeff Beck follower, never heard of Imogen Heap before I heard this version of Blanket. Never have I been so emotionally touched by a singer, tune, and artist together. Big fan of Stevie Nicks in the great years, Imogen's facial expressions remind me of a young Stevie. Most important song to me and will be for many years. Meaning | Reviewer: Maria ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ^^ IMO | Reviewer: Hillary ------ About the song Clear The Area performed by Imogen Heap i think this song is about mabye a girl who was in a relationship then it ended. the first verse entails a male friend comming over to check up on her, but there was no awnser on the door. when he went in he found her in a wreck. the second verse ((the chours)) hints that he will catch her from her fall from 'heaven' ((which is where you feel you are when you are in 'love')) and that he is there for her. the third verse hints that he understands her 'your eyes tell a whole other story…and I feel the weight of the world'. also that he dosnt mind if she cries over this loss. ((chours)) the fith verse he just comes out and says 'nobody means anymore to me than you' and the 'relationship' kind of takes flight with him saying 'fall into my arms ... fall into love'. the the next three verses kind of reinforce that sayibg thet he will catch her and 'guide her' .. in a way. WOW !!!! | Reviewer: iyad-chabiah ------ About the song Wait It Out performed by Imogen Heap WOW..!!! OMG ,, This track is apsolutely mind blowing ..i mean the music backround , the little voives , the lyrics .. all amazing .. to me it's a total package how come this artist didn't make it to the grammy awards ??!!! with a track like (the moment i said it) & ( hide & seek) from her previous album & now ( wait it out) & (canvas) & ( half life) from new brand new album ..it should atleast get a grammy award.. too bad for those who didn't listen to her music so far i recommend you guys to go & buy her albums u'll love it if you're a fan of freakness & awkwardness music (non-usual) wow !!!!! | Reviewer: iyadchbiah (lattakia/syria) ------ About the album Ellipse performed by Imogen Heap WOW..!!! OMG ,, This track is apsolutely mind blowing ..i mean the music backround , the little voives , the lyrics .. all amazing .. to me it's a total package how come this artist didn't make it to the grammy awards ??!!! with a track like (the moment i said it) & ( hide & seek) from her previous album & now ( wait it out) & (canvas) & ( half life) from new brand new album ..it should atleast get a grammy award.. too bad for those who didn't listen to her music so far i recommend you guys to go & buy her albums u'll love it if you're a fan of freakness & awkwardness music (non-usual) reference to divorce? | Reviewer: gabby ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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 ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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. amazing | Reviewer: Bethany ------ About the song The Moment I Said It performed by Imogen Heap this song is about a girl who has an affiar(the moment i said it)when she tells her husband he gets mad and starts to drink and gets drunk. when he comes home hes still mad so he calls someone to come pick him up and calm him down but its taking to long so he just drives himself and gets in a car crash and dies.this song is amazing my dance team danced to it and her voice is just amazing. Real meaning | Reviewer: Alyssa ------ About the song Hide And Seek performed by Imogen Heap 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.
