Hidden
Chagall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with flowers on every tree
peace comes to them on quiet feet
but it doesn't come to me
Come to me
Come to me
right under my cheek (Right under my cheek)
I hear it so it must be in there (It must be in there)
it's so hard to see
I just listen to his heartbeat
I just listen I just listen
I just listen to his heartbeat
I just listen I just listen
How warm the air feels to my skin
in the trees the crickets sing
peace comes to every living thing
but it doesn't come to him (Come to him)
I just listen to his heartbeat (Heartbeat Heartbeat)
right under my cheek (Right under my cheek)
I hear it so it must be in there
it's so hard to see
I just listen to his heartbeat
I just listen I just listen
I just listen to his heartbeat
I just listen I just listen
His peace is hidden with his fate (Heartbeat)
next to his song and keys
love's hidden in a lonely place
will it ever be in me?
be in me?
The lyrics of Chagall's song "Hidden" express a sense of loneliness and yearning for inner peace. The first verse sets a serene scene with peaceful surroundings and flowers on the trees. However, the singer is unable to find peace within themselves. They invite peace to come to them, but it seems elusive. The repetition of "Come to me" emphasizes the singer's longing for inner peace.
The following verse changes the focus to the singer's loved one. They listen to their heartbeat, finding comfort in the physical connection, but acknowledge that it's difficult to see their inner thoughts and emotions. The singer finds peace in their partner's presence but still wonders if they will find peace within themselves.
The final verse speaks to the hidden nature of peace, love, and fate. The singer questions if love will ever be found within themselves, expressing a deep-seated desire for self-love and acceptance. The repetition of "be in me?" emphasizes this longing and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hidden" express a complex mix of emotions, including desire, longing, and self-doubt. The contrast between the peaceful surroundings and the singer's internal turmoil adds depth and complexity to the song.
