hide and seek
Delorian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will never find out
Find out what could be
Trying to fill the purpose
She's living for the bill

Moonchild
Where'd you go at nightime?
Moonchild
Bringing me the tide

She saw electric light
She saw pitchblack skies

He kept on tumbling falling
Falling up and down
He learnt what life copuld give him
The solitute joy could bring

Starchild
Shoots my cyan skyline
Starchild
What can't be seen is blind

She saw electric light
She saw pitchblack skies

Where'd you go at nightime?
Where'd you go at nightime?

She saw electric light
She saw pitchblack sky




She saw electric light
She saw pitchblack sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Delorian's song Hide and Seek present an enigmatic and somewhat ambiguous narrative that touches on themes of searching, purpose, and the duality of light and darkness. The first lines of the song set the tone for the melancholic and introspective mood that permeates the rest of it: "We will never find out, find out what could be". This lyric speaks to the idea that sometimes we strive for something that is unattainable, and that despite our best efforts, we will never know what could have been if we had chosen a different path.


The second verse delves into the state of mind of a woman who is trying to "fill the purpose" of her life, suggesting a sense of emptiness or lack of direction. She is "living for the bill", which could be interpreted as her chasing financial stability and success at the expense of her own happiness. The repetition of the word "moonchild" creates a dreamlike atmosphere, as if the woman is lost in her own thoughts and longings.


The following verses introduce a male character who seems to be going through a journey of discovery and self-realization. He is "falling up and down", suggesting that he is experiencing highs and lows on his path, but ultimately he is learning that "the solitude joy could bring". The poetic imagery of "shooting cyan skyline" further emphasizes the sense of exploration and wonder that the character is experiencing.


Overall, the lyrics to Hide and Seek leave a lot of room for interpretation, but they evoke a strong emotional response and capture the complexities of the human experience.
