Creed is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida formed in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums; their second, Human Clay (1999), received diamond (11x platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, has sold over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.
For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite unfavorable critical reception; Marshall left the band in 2000. Human Clay remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open"—which also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.
Creed reunited in 2009, releasing their fourth album Full Circle and performing several tours before separating again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited once more in July 2023 and announced their headlining of the Summer of '99 cruise festival in April 2024.

2. Creed was formed in 1977 by vocalist Steve Ingle and guitarist Luther Maben. Enlisting the services of Hal Butler (keyboards), James Flynn (bass), and Chip Thomas (drums), they were soon signed by Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1978 and was notable for "Time and Time Again," an epic southern-style guitar workout, comparable in stature to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird." Unable to attract enough media attention, the band split up shortly after the album's release.

3. There is also a German Christian metal band called Creed. They have released at least one album called "Sign of Victory" on the Pure Metal label in 1992.

Creed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

Run in fields of time
Let us gallop through the meadows without worrying about the hands on the clock
Where there's no reason left to hide
A place where there isn't any compelling cause to conceal oneself

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
