Hidden in Plain View Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can find it in ourselves to live our lives again
Your missplaced in time, authoring your tragedy
But your dreams and lies
Never fill the voids in my
[Chorus]
[So the show goes on without you
And it shows all around you
These foundations fall that were once built stong]
So you lost the words, you lost those words to say
You lost your voice, and you lost your mind again
So back it up, rewind, white it out and just forget
Just close your eyes and promise
To never open them again
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, Ill be gone next summer
don't wait for me... don't wait for me
But you said, I need you more than I ever did, so please
don't go, please don't go
don't go
Cause I'm lost without you
I'm so lost without you
The lyrics to Hidden in Plain View's song "The Chaser" depict a person struggling to cope with heartbreak and loss. The first verse opens with the idea that after a tumultuous period in life, there is still hope for renewal and moving forward. However, the singer observes that the subject of the song is "misplaced in time," stuck in a cycle of self-pity and self-destruction. Though they may dream and deceive themselves, this only serves to widen the distance between them and those around them.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that even when someone is absent, life continues on without them. The foundations that once supported them have crumbled and now they must face the consequences of their inaction. The second verse suggests that the subject is fully aware of the trouble they are in- perhaps they have said something hurtful or made a mistake they cannot undo. Here, the lyrics take on a sense of frenzied urgency as they encourage the listener to erase the past and move on.
Finally, the closing lines of the song are bittersweet, as the subject begs the singer not to leave them. Though they are lost without this person, it seems that their relationship has reached the point of no return. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the singer acknowledging the pain of separation and the difficulty of moving on.

Never fill the voids in my
Your dreams and lies are incapable of satisfying the emptiness within me.

I'm struggling to continue on without you.
I'm so lost without you
I feel completely lost and without direction without you.
