nothing to hide
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the rabbit hole into the unknown
And I draw the line and I build the walls
Like a lightning storm rushing through my thoughts, hmm
I can feel it happening, happening
′Cause every time you look at me, look at me
I'm sucker for a feeling
With you, I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide, hoo-oo-oo
It′s all in my head tonight
It′s all in my head tonight
It's all in my head
With you, I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide, hoo-oo-oo
Nothing to hide
When I′m with you, I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide, hoo-oo-oo
It's all in my head tonight
It′s all in my head
It's all in my head tonight
It′s all in my head tonight
With you, I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide, hoo-oo-oo
It's all in my head tonight
The lyrics of Cosmic Gate's "Nothing to Hide" express a feeling of vulnerability and fear of falling into the unknown. The songwriter describes resisting this feeling by drawing lines and building walls in their mind to protect themselves. However, the presence of someone special seems to break down those defenses and make them feel exposed yet unafraid. The chorus declares that with this person, there is "nothing to hide" and that everything is in the songwriter's head.
The phrase "down the rabbit hole" implies a journey into the unknown or a surreal experience, referencing Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland". The line "like a lightning storm rushing through my thoughts" emphasizes the intensity of the songwriter's feelings and thoughts. The mention of "something stronger than me" suggests that the connection between the songwriter and their significant other is a powerful force beyond their control. The repetition of "It's all in my head tonight" is a reminder that even though the feelings and fears are deeply felt, they are ultimately within the songwriter's mind.
