Belmont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm way too caught up in the comfort found in change
I'm Always searching for ways to bounce
to get away from the guilt I keep around
I'm on top
At least that's what I tell myself
Even though I know it's probably just the drugs that help
When all I've ever known was how to run
I just can't waste my life only holding on for another one
Retrace my steps I roam where I don't belong
But This time I won't just play myself
And this time I won't blame someone else
Cuz I just can't waste my life only holding on, like there's another one
I scarped the bottom again
I Acted selfish at the core
I wish I heard you out
Instead of asking you for more
What's unsaid
Is that I really want some help
But i'm just too scared to go and try to face myself
Cuz it's hard to be alone
Stuck with all of the faces I've ever shown
I just can't waste my life only holding on for another one
Retrace my steps I roam where I don't belong
But This time I won't just play myself
And this time I won't blame someone else
Cuz I just can't waste my life only holding on, like there's another one
The lyrics of Belmont's song "Hideout" delve into the internal struggle of the singer who finds solace in change, constantly seeking ways to escape from the guilt that weighs them down. They acknowledge that they often deceive themselves into thinking they are on top, attributing it to the drugs they use to mask their emotions. Despite this, deep down, they know they have a tendency to run away from their problems instead of facing them head-on.
The singer expresses a fear of wasting their life by merely holding on for another one, implying that they have been stuck in a cycle of trying to escape their reality. They acknowledge that they have acted selfishly, possibly hurting others in the process. The unspoken desire for help is present, but they admit their fear of facing themselves. They feel alone, burdened by the different personas they have shown to the world.
Overall, "Hideout" reflects a struggle with self-destructive patterns, the search for genuine change, and the fear of facing one's inner demons. It explores the themes of deception, guilt, the desire for help, and the need to break free from destructive cycles.

Aside from how cool the sound is, I really love the message of accountability in these lyrics, compared to the empty self deprecation of other bands. It reads like a person reflecting on their mistakes and owning them, and that's a skill I didn't develop until I was older than these guys for sure.

Pure gold. I feel bad for everyone who will never hear this song and it stuck listening to garbage on the radio.
I will never get tired of this style music.

Make sure you recommend this song and band to as many people as you can! Relieve them of their misery!

Man, it's been an insane ride getting to see Belmont put out heaters and heaters. One of my favorites in the scene for sure. Keep it up!

At 32, going on 33, married with a toddler and a baby, I can't even speak to whatever the scene may be. I just know that I was pumped to discover this band last year. I'm an old dog with old tricks when it comes to music, so I still prefer CDs to take on the road in my car, and my Belmont listening is completely out of order. I don't always know what I'm listening to in what sequence or album.
But what I really want to say is that this band via this scene has been kind to me by reappearing as a better, badder, tighter brand of "punk" than what I grew up with in say, 2001-2002, some of my favourite years in music with releases by Further Seems Forever, Norma Jean, and Hopesfall.

Dude I’ve been listening to them since like a month before they released between you and me. And dude, holy shit going back to vicissitude and hearing the evolution of their sound and character has been a fucking journey. I was 14 when I first found them and I just turned 19 last month so they’ve been a mainstay in my rotation for as long as I’ve been studying music and they’ve been my favorites for so goddamn long. This band is special. Brian has some of the best chops in modern drumming. Alex’s Rare Candy is a completely different sound but that just goes to show how unique and diverse this group is. It’s funny because Rare Candy was my top artist of the year in my Spotify wrapped this year. I was in the top 0.05% of listeners

@Steiv44 Yeah in the early 2000s one of my favorites was the planes mistaken for stars self titled. But I can't really say this is tighter than shit back then or like Jawbreaker. You can tell who these guys came up on. Like all of the newer well produced bands of the early 2000s like set your goals
