Hide & Seek
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go screaming through the traffic lights
Can you feel the smoke and grime
That follows me to bed
It's been so long
It's been so long
Since I had half a wink of sleep at night
Have you seen a spiders on my wall
They're waiting for you to call
They're spinning flytraps in my dreams
To play hide and seek
Hide and seek
Hide and seek
The windy city streets are filled
With shopping malls and parking lots
California dreamin' of a highway in the sun
Rain is pouring endlessly on shattered hopes and chimney-tops
Tapping at my windowsill
To see if am I still home
Have you seen a spiders on my wall
They're waiting for you to call
They're spinning flytraps in my dreams
To play hide and seek
Hide and seek
Hide and seek
Oh, no!
The song "Hide & Seek" by [unknown] is a melancholic and introspective piece that paints a vivid picture of the city's chaotic energy and the singer's insomnia. The opening lines "Can you hear the world outside, Go screaming through the traffic lights, Can you feel the smoke and grime, That follows me to bed" immediately set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer is unable to escape the city's noise and pollution, even in their own bedroom. The repetition of "It's been so long" emphasizes the exhaustion and desperation the singer feels, as they have been unable to find rest for an extended period of time.
The chorus introduces a surreal image of spiders on the singer's wall, waiting to play hide and seek. This can be interpreted as a symbol of the singer's anxieties and fears, which are constantly lurking in the background, waiting for a chance to pounce. The spider's weaving flytraps in the singer's dreams further emphasizes this point and adds a layer of creepiness to the song. The repetition of "Hide and seek" emphasizes the idea that the singer is constantly on the run from their worries, but they always find a way to catch up.
The second verse offers a glimpse of the wider world, as the singer mentions the "windy city streets," "shopping malls" and "parking lots." The line "California dreamin' of a highway in the sun" implies a longing for a simpler and more carefree existence, but this is cut short by the harsh realities of life, as "Rain is pouring endlessly on shattered hopes and chimney-tops." The tapping at the singer's windowsill creates a sense of unease and highlights how even the comforting familiarity of home is tainted by the singer's anxieties.
Overall, "Hide & Seek" is a haunting and introspective song that captures the complexities of modern life and the struggles of the human psyche.

Worse now 'cah we made our bed and gotta lay in it
Thought it wasn't hard for me but every day it is
Heartbreak's such a dark place but we stay in it
What I'm saying is exactly what I say it is
I found you
I feel your presence when I'm not around you
Queen in your city, they need to crown you
Holy water baby, let me drown you
Fire and water I gotta 'low you
Burn out then reappear
Light still guiding you home, you know I'm there
And rest assured if you ever needed help
Or just need a place to hide know I'll keep it to myself, word
Oh girl, you're shining
