Hideaway
Emay Karen and the Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't mean you mean it
Run away to find a home
Happy now, but you don't see it
Run away because
You're all alone
And you'll never know
And you'll never see
What might happen
And you'll never know
What could have been
And you'll never see
What might happen
Dead inside
You wait for something
Innocence, lost so long ago
No one cares, so why should you?
Run away because
You're all alone
And you'll never know
What could have been
And you'll never see
What might happen
And you'll never know
What could have been
And you'll never see
What might...
Because you say it
Don't mean you mean it
Run away to find a home
Now I'll let you in
Yeah, I'll let you in
Yeah...
And you'll never know
What could have been
And you'll never see
What might happen
And you'll never know
What could have been
And you'll never see
What might happen
And you'll never know...
And you'll never know...
The song "Hideaway" by Emay Karen and the Kids is about running away from home to find a safe place. The lyrics suggest that just because one says they want to leave and find a home, it does not necessarily mean they truly mean it. The person running away is happy at the moment, but they fail to see the bigger picture. The message is clear - the grass is not always greener on the other side.
The second verse of the song highlights how the runaway has lost their innocence, and nobody seems to care. The tone is bleak, and the lyrics suggest that since nobody cares, the person does not have a reason to stay. The chorus repeats a powerful message - the person running away will never know what could have been or what might happen. In the end, the song takes a different turn, and the singer allows the runaway to come back, almost suggesting that some people leave home to find themselves but eventually return to where they belong.
Overall, the song "Hideaway" is a powerful commentary on the consequences of running away from home, showcasing that even though one may think they're all alone, leaving does not solve everything.
