Hide
Creed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To what do I owe this gift my friend?
My life, my love, my soul?
I've been dancing with the devil way too long
And it's making me grow old
Making me grow old

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of thyme
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide

What are you going to do with your gift dear child?
Give life, give love, give soul?
Divided is the one who dances
For the soul is so exposed
So exposed

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide

No reason to hide

There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide

Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide

No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide

No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide





No reason to hide

Overall Meaning

The song "Hide" by Creed is about finding a way to escape from the things that hold us back, especially the darkness that traps us in life. The opening lines, "To what do I owe this gift my friend? My life, my love, my soul?" is a reference to the gifts of life, love, and soul that we are given, and questions what we are going to do with them. The next lines, "I've been dancing with the devil way too long, And it's making me grow old, Making me grow old" portrays the struggle of dealing with the darkness in life and how it can age us faster. The chorus, "Let's leave, oh, let's get away, Get lost in time, Where there's no reason left to hide" is a call to escape from these struggles and to find a place where we don't have to hide from our pain anymore.


The second verse is directed towards a child, asking what they will do with their gifts. The line "Divided is the one who dances, For the soul is so exposed, So exposed" shows how someone can feel conflicted when trying to express themselves to the world, as it can feel like they are giving a part of themselves away. The final part of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the importance of finding a way to escape from the darkness that holds us back.


Overall, the song captures the struggles of finding a way to deal with the darkness in life and how it can shape our existence. However, it also explores the idea of hope, suggesting that there is a way to escape and find a better path.

This was Creed’s one song that I felt was begging to be a radio single and yet, bafflingly, it was not. Such a shame and missed opportunity.

@kalcongdon17

Without a doubt. The lightness and message of the song would've been huge at the time

@mbuckholz

one of my favorite albums of all time.
