Hide and Seek
Eppic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Are you and me
Now these days my heart's been real heavy
Can say they've not been tampered
You brought out the worst in me
I'm nervous, then I'm in this God forsaken place I'm anxious
I'm looking behind to see I'm being followed by ravens
From a distance, I notice the devil in you, as he waves
Laughing at me, yes this is bloody Mary she shot her mace
Being swallowed by the telly truth and away gain
The John Wilkes Booth to my Abraham Lincoln
Had a nightmare foreshadowing assassination
One of those being mine you made that pretty blatant
Caught you wondering in the woods as you were slaughtering angels
One by one as you headed home with their halos
Yes, this, this ungodly torrential rain that possesses you when you're allowing it to transcend
I better recognized your touch
There isn't anything more to discuss, I'm saying murder me if you must
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
Staring directly at me; the demon you worship
I read the letter you wrote me, I'm apprehensive it's imminent
It's me you want isn't it, you're so desperately after?
Or how you murdered your psychiatrist and your pastor
As my blood stains that leaves the bottom
Staining the last roses so innocent that will ever blossom
Rejoice in my absence as you bask in the malice
I'm praying you at least see god in my evanescence
You're beginning to succumb to the rhythm of the grim reaper snare drum
I swear some of those ravens were once dust
You found a place of haven with harps and violins
At a payphone between hell and heaven but wasn't calling no Jesus
Serious
Remove me from existence
Will be like no one's missing once I trigger the 6th sense of your senses
Uh yeah, with a land I'd like to minister
I wanna remain there like an everlasting whisper
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
I solemnly swear I solemnly
Swear that you were
In my prayers that you
Were in my prayers I, I
Solemnly swear I solemnly
Swear that you were in my prayers
That you were in my prayers
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
Now are we gonna continue
Playing this little game of
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Like the only two playing
Are you and me
The lyrics of “Hide and Seek” by Eppic are very complex and full of metaphors and vivid imagery. The song is about a toxic relationship in which the singer is playing a “little game of hide and seek” with the other person. The first stanza sets up the metaphor of the game while the second and third talk about the singer’s feelings in relation to the relationship. The heart is “real heavy” due to being tampered with, and the singer is feeling nervous and anxious as if they are being followed by ravens. The devil is also present, and the singer feels like they are being laughed at. In the fourth and fifth stanzas, the song mentions a nightmare that foreshadows assassination and the devilish nature of their partner. They seem to be killing angels and harvesting their halos, and the singer is aware of this. In the last stanzas, the singer is aware they are about to die and swears that the partner was in their prayers.
The song seems to be exploring the dynamic of a relationship where one person is toxic or evil, and the other is struggling to come to terms with it. The game of hide and seek is a way of avoiding the reality of what is happening, but the singer is aware that they can’t keep playing. The description of being followed by ravens and the devil laughing at them adds a layer of horror and unease to the lyrics. It portrays the toxic relationship as something that is not only emotionally draining but also dangerous. The ending of the song shows the singer accepting their fate and the power that the other person has over them. It’s a disturbing but poignant portrayal of a relationship that is too difficult to escape.

Now are we gonna continue
Are we going to keep playing this game?
Playing this little game of
Engaging in this obsessive charade
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Because it seems like we are the sole participants
Like the only two playing
Like it's just you and me
Now these days my heart's been real heavy
Lately, my emotions have been overwhelming
Can say they've not been tampered
I cannot deny that they have not been influenced
You brought out the worst in me
You have elicited my negative qualities and behaviors
I'm nervous, then I'm in this God forsaken place I'm anxious
I am filled with anxiety and constantly afraid
I'm looking behind to see I'm being followed by ravens
I constantly feel paranoid and threatened
From a distance, I notice the devil in you, as he waves
I can see your evil intentions from afar
Laughing at me, yes this is bloody Mary she shot her mace
You find pleasure in my pain and suffering
Being swallowed by the telly truth and away gain
I am consumed by the lies I tell myself to cope
The John Wilkes Booth to my Abraham Lincoln
You are the assassin to my potential greatness
Had a nightmare foreshadowing assassination
I have an ominous premonition of my own demise
One of those being mine you made that pretty blatant
You made it clear that I am one of your targets
Caught you wondering in the woods as you were slaughtering angels
I witnessed you committing heinous acts
One by one as you headed home with their halos
You took something sacred from each victim
Yes, this, this ungodly torrential rain that possesses you when you're allowing it to transcend
Your evil impulses consume you when you let them take over
I better recognized your touch
I have become familiar with your dark influence
There isn't anything more to discuss, I'm saying murder me if you must
There is no point in talking, just kill me already
Staring directly at me; the demon you worship
You are fixated on me as your chosen victim
I read the letter you wrote me, I'm apprehensive it's imminent
I received your threatening letter and fear the worst is yet to come
It's me you want isn't it, you're so desperately after?
You are determined to harm me above all others
Or how you murdered your psychiatrist and your pastor
You have killed those who were supposed to help you
As my blood stains that leaves the bottom
As I die, my blood will be left to stain the ground
Staining the last roses so innocent that will ever blossom
My death will taint the last symbol of purity
Rejoice in my absence as you bask in the malice
You will revel in my death and the destruction you have caused
I'm praying you at least see god in my evanescence
I hope my death may enlighten you to a higher power
You're beginning to succumb to the rhythm of the grim reaper snare drum
You are being consumed by death's call
I swear some of those ravens were once dust
Some of your victims were once innocent and pure
You found a place of haven with harps and violins
You find peace in a twisted version of heaven
At a payphone between hell and heaven but wasn't calling no Jesus
You have abandoned any hope of salvation
Serious
I am not joking
Remove me from existence
Kill me
Will be like no one's missing once I trigger the 6th sense of your senses
No one will notice my absence once you have killed me
Uh yeah, with a land I'd like to minister
I wish to live a peaceful, spiritual life
I wanna remain there like an everlasting whisper
I desire to stay there forever and have a gentle impact on the world
I solemnly swear I solemnly
I promise, with all sincerity
Swear that you were
I promise you that you are
In my prayers that you
I pray for you
Were in my prayers I, I
You have been in my thoughts and prayers
Now are we gonna continue
Will we persist
Playing this little game of
Indulging in this twisted game
Hide and seek 'cause it looks
Because it appears that we are the only players in this chaos
Like the only two playing
As if we are the only ones here
