Hide & Seek
AAA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Junkがあふれる Clubの非常階段
誰とも違う Kiss
きりがなくできるかい
嘘つきな Ring つながりたい好奇心
今夜どんな君が隠れてるの
誰にも教えていない素顔
ココロが Gate 閉ざすその前にさぁ
探しあててみせようか
Hide&Seek Yes 君はまだ
まだ渇いちゃいない
Chrome の肌を 痕が残るほど抱いて
くだらない世界に
吐き捨てる Objection
光射す場所で
傷つき過ぎたオレたち
孤独さえもまるで深い Shelter
逃げても追いかけてくる Real
潰れた mosquito になりたくない
So
Face to Face Yes 最後まで
したいことをしてみようか
Hide&Seek Yes 君をもっと
壊してしまいたい
見えない未来に なにが隠れてる
その先に なにを信じてる ...
Face to Face Yes 愛をいま
探しあててみせようか
Hide&Seek Yes 君はまだ
まだ終わらない
Face to Face Yes 最後まで
したいことをしてみようか
Hide&Seek Yes 君をもっと
壊してしまいたい
The lyrics of AAA's song "Hide & Seek" convey a sense of desire, curiosity and rebellion. The song opens with the line "Ride me baby" which creates a sensual tone and suggests the desire for physical intimacy. The setting is a club where there is an abundance of junk and the emergency staircase is overflowing, which creates a sense of chaos and danger. The singer desires to kiss someone who is unlike anyone else they have ever been with, and they want to continue doing so indefinitely. They are intrigued by a lying ring and want to explore this connection further. They wonder who the person they desire is tonight - what their true identity is and what they're hiding. The chorus then kicks in with a Face-to-Face encounter where the singer wants to find love and seek it out. They want to play Hide & Seek with the person they desire, as they believe that they have not yet quenched their thirst for love.
The second verse talks about physical intimacy again, with a suggestive line "Chrome no hada wo, ato ga nokoru hodo daite" which means they want to embrace the other person until there are bruises on their Chrome skin. Despite living in a stupid world where they reject the Objection of others, they want to find a deep connection with someone who has also been hurt too many times - like finding shelter. However, this is juxtaposed by the desire to break the other person down even more, effectively allowing their chaotic lifestyle to seep through. The bridge asks the question, what lies in the future that cannot be seen? What do people really believe in, and what kind of person shall they become?
Overall, the lyrics of "Hide & Seek" evoke a deep-seated sense of longing, wildness, and rebellion, with the music accompanying and amplifying these emotions. The song suggests that love can be found by exploring desires, even if those desires are chaotic.
