The Point
Hidden in Plain View Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My voice is tired
I can barely speak a whisper
These words clear our minds
And these broken bottles and glasses
Hear our lives
So drinks to the skies
And blood to your eyes
This rooftop is understanding
Swallow your pride, or choke till you die
Cause this fall is unforgiving
So call on your angels
To catch your fall tonight
And I'll crawl on my hands
Pouring out my insides.

I'll wait for you
Hoping you change your mind
Hoping is all I can do.

These days are tired
And these nights are overwhelming
As we spoke through silence
A routine silence with nothing more to say
Drinks to the skies
And blood to you eyes
I'll be understanding
Tonight


I'll wait for you
Hoping you change your mind
Hoping is all I can do.

So I'll wait for you
Hoping to change your mind.
Hoping is all I can do.

I'm dying 'cause you're leaving
Hopes abandoned and my heart still beating
But I never gave up trying
But I did everything for you
I did everything

So I'll wait for you




Hoping you change your mind.
I'll wait for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hidden in Plain View's song The Point convey a sense of exhaustion and desperation. The singer's voice is tired and barely audible, as if he has been screaming for too long. He speaks of broken bottles and glasses, which can be interpreted both literally (as the remnants of a wild party) and metaphorically (as the shards of a broken relationship). He urges the listeners to drink and bleed, to let out their emotions and find understanding on a rooftop. He acknowledges the danger of falling, both physically and emotionally, and invites the listeners to call on their angels for help. He himself is ready to pour out his insides, to lay himself bare in the hope of reconciliation.


The chorus, "I'll wait for you / Hoping you change your mind / Hoping is all I can do", repeats twice, indicating that the singer is holding onto a glimmer of hope, even though it might be futile. He knows that the days and nights are tiresome and overwhelming, that their conversation has become a routine silence with nothing more to say. But he clings onto his love and his determination, even as he feels like he is dying because of the other person's departure. He has done everything he can to keep the flame alive, and now all he can do is wait and hope.
