Hide Me
Ember Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold and hid under a veil
Made of mist and rain
Counting your steps into the woods
Leave a message in the wind
Tell your ghost to leave
Hide me from life
I can't deny
Hide me
Into my heart, there is a door
You're the owner of the key
Use it carefully
Tear down the walls until they break
You're the only one to make
Make me leave this place
You're the only one to make
Make me leave this place
Hide me from life
Hide me
I can't deny
Hide me
I'm always leaving
The outside world doesn't suit me
Alive or just breathing
Now my shadow's sleeping
I have not moved since I came here
Don't wake me up dear
Hide me from life
Hide me
The lyrics to Ember Island's song "Hide Me" explores the singer's desire to escape reality and the outside world. The song starts by setting the scene by describing a lake that is cold and hidden. The singer then urges someone to leave a message in the wind to tell their ghost to leave. This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for letting go of past trauma or negative memories. The chorus repeats the plea to hide the singer from life, indicating a desire to escape reality.
The second verse takes a more personal turn, as the singer describes their heart as having a door. The person being addressed in the song is the owner of this key, and they are being urged to tear down the walls until they break. This could be interpreted as a plea for emotional intimacy or vulnerability. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's desire to be hidden from life.
The bridge of the song takes a more introspective turn, with the singer reflecting on their own tendencies to avoid the outside world. They confess to always leaving and not fitting in, and describe their shadow as sleeping. The song ends with a plea to not be woken up, reinforcing the singer's desire to escape reality.
Overall, "Hide Me" is a haunting and melancholic exploration of the desire to escape the outside world and the pain it can bring.

Right by your house, there is a lake
There is a lake near you
Cold and hid under a veil
The lake is cold and misty
Made of mist and rain
The lake is misty and rainy
Counting your steps into the woods
Following you as you walk into the woods
Leave a message in the wind
Leaving a message in the breeze
Tell your ghost to leave
Asking your ghost to leave
Hide me from life
Hiding from the chaos of life
Hide me
Hiding from the world
I can't deny
Unable to deny the need to hide
Into my heart, there is a door
There is a door in my heart
You're the owner of the key
You have the key to the door
Use it carefully
Using the key carefully
Tear down the walls until they break
Breaking down the walls around me
You're the only one to make
You are the only one who can help
Make me leave this place
Helping me escape from this place
I'm always leaving
Always leaving places
The outside world doesn't suit me
Not feeling comfortable in the outside world
Alive or just breathing
Existing without really living
Now my shadow's sleeping
My shadow is at peace
I have not moved since I came here
Not having moved since arriving here
Don't wake me up dear
Not wanting to be disturbed

Right by your house there is a lake
Cold and hid under a veil made of mist and rain
Counting your steps into the woods
Leave a message in the wind, tell your ghost to leave

Hide me, I can't deny
Hide me

Hide me from life
Hide me, I can't deny

I love the melancholic/sad vibes that you bring to your music. There's too much party,sex,drugs,rage,banger,hard,meaningless music out there already. I love that you bring something different to everything. Something new and amazing. I'm already a fan of you guys! And I love your music! I'm engaged!
