Hideaway
Emay Karen O and the Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been saying things that make me crazy
Telling me your lies they twist and turn me
'Til I'm undone
Got me hooked around your little finger
Trying to get by, but still it lingers
Every single time, I've opened up my eyes
You're not the one
Like you don't wanna leave me
You know I just can't be angry
With anything that you've done
Feels like I'm crazy
I turn to stone on the daily
Paralyzed with all these 'maybes'
You act like it's all for fun
I've spending all my time for what
She wanna take me around the streets till the night is up
I'm on it
Come get it
I don't know if i am lost
Making this shit for 3 years I'm in the same damn spot
She tell me let's get down to this yeah
I don't want any other business (Yeah)
Let's get down with it
I'm feeling wide awake
I'll take you riding around the streets for a hideaway
Oh well oh well
Oh well oh well
You really got a rattle on you far as I can tell
You better off letting sleeping dogs lie
Cuz baby I don't want your time if you can't even gimme mine
Every time yeah
Your water runs deep and ooh I'm drowning again
Ain't no telling who I'm facing when it's you as a friend
But even when I let you go you got me spinning again
Winning me over like it's new and we don't know where we been
It's like I'm
Spinnin around spinning around spinning around
This carousel that we on gone really make me nauseous
Free and independent so perceive me with some caution
I really bet the time you got with me is gone be falling short as every expectation that I ever had you lost it
Costed, every single penny that I ever had and don't you think I'm shedding any tears you got enough of that
I'm really done and none of these feelings are ever coming
I've spending all my time for what
She wanna take me around the streets till the night is up
I'm on it
Come get it
I don't know if i am lost
Making this shit for 3 years I'm in the same damn spot
She tell me let's get down to this yeah
I don't want any other business (Yeah)
Let's get down with it
I'm feeling wide awake
I'll take you riding around the streets for a hideaway

I don't think I'm good enough 'cus lately
I am questioning my worth because of recent events
You've been saying things that make me crazy
Your words are affecting me negatively and causing me to feel unstable
Telling me your lies they twist and turn me
Your deceitful words are causing me emotional distress
'Til I'm undone
Until I am unraveled and broken down by your lies and manipulation
Got me hooked around your little finger
You have complete control over me and my emotions
Trying to get by, but still it lingers
I am attempting to move on, but my feelings for you are still present
Every single time, I've opened up my eyes
Each time I try to see the truth about you and our situation
You're not the one
I realize that you are not the right person for me
But when you hold me
Despite my reservations, when you physically embrace me
Like you don't wanna leave me
As if you never want to let me go
You know I just can't be angry
I cannot stay mad at you when you are affectionate towards me
With anything that you've done
Regardless of all the negative things that you have done to me
Feels like I'm crazy
I feel insane because of the conflicting emotions you evoke in me
I turn to stone on the daily
I become emotionally numb and unresponsive due to the constant turmoil
Paralyzed with all these 'maybes'
I am unable to make a decision due to all the uncertainties and possibilities
You act like it's all for fun
You treat our relationship as if it is just a game or source of amusement
I've spending all my time for what
I have dedicated all of my time and energy for what purpose
She wanna take me around the streets till the night is up
She wants to spend time with me on a night out in the city
I'm on it
I am interested and willing to participate
Come get it
Encouraging her to take the lead and make plans
I don't know if i am lost
I am unsure of my direction or purpose
Making this shit for 3 years I'm in the same damn spot
I have been working on my craft for three years but feel no progress or change
She tell me let's get down to this yeah
She suggests getting down to business or focusing on something productive
I don't want any other business (Yeah)
I am not interested in pursuing any other ventures or distractions
Let's get down with it
Let's get started on this productive endeavor
I'm feeling wide awake
I am fully alert and attentive
I'll take you riding around the streets for a hideaway
I will take you on a ride around the city to find a secret or secluded spot
You really got a rattle on you far as I can tell
You seem to have a lot of issues or inner turmoil
You better off letting sleeping dogs lie
It would be best to leave things as they are and not stir up trouble
Cuz baby I don't want your time if you can't even gimme mine
I do not want to spend time with you if you are not willing to reciprocate my attention and affection
Your water runs deep and ooh I'm drowning again
Your emotions and issues are overwhelming me once more
Ain't no telling who I'm facing when it's you as a friend
I am unsure of your true intentions and what kind of person you are when we are just friends
But even when I let you go you got me spinning again
Even when I attempt to distance myself from you, you still have a hold on me and my emotions
Winning me over like it's new and we don't know where we been
You are able to charm and manipulate me as if we are starting fresh and have no history or past challenges
It's like I'm
It feels as if I am
Spinnin around spinning around spinning around
Continuously dealing with the same cycle of emotions and decisions
This carousel that we on gone really make me nauseous
The constant cycle of emotions and actions is making me feel sick and overwhelmed
Free and independent so perceive me with some caution
I am an autonomous individual, so be careful not to cross any boundaries or unreasonably impact my life
I really bet the time you got with me is gone be falling short as every expectation that I ever had you lost it
I predict that your time in my life will be brief due to your inability to meet any of my expectations or desires
Costed, every single penny that I ever had and don't you think I'm shedding any tears you got enough of that
It has cost me everything to be involved with you, and I am not going to pity you for any of the consequences
I'm really done and none of these feelings are ever coming
I am truly finished with this situation and will never feel the same way again
