Hidden in Plain View Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"You put me back together"
Her head's down, she waits impatiently
Scattered in my heart, torn up and ripped apart
It's ripped apart..
And I know, I should have known
By the times she looked at me
Strength finds a place in me
Just wait and you'll see, you're everything I want
And don't take this from me
Just wait and you'll see, you're everything I want
Don't take this from me now
Wind strong in my face, I'm still staggering through
I'm closer to the ground than I will ever get to you
Dirt deep beneath my fingernails, I'm gripping to the floor
I'm searching through the world, always looking for something more
Just wait and and see, you're everything I want
And don't take this from me
Just wait and and see, you're everything I want
Don't take this from me now
And these cold winter nights, without you next to me
It feels like twenty below
Frostbite on my heart
This pain and suffering are feelings that you don't know
Does it feel like, feel like twenty below
The song "Twenty Below" by Hidden in Plain View is a song about a love that is lost but still lingers in the heart even in the coldest of times. The opening lines of the song suggest that the person the lyrics are directed towards was instrumental in putting the singer back together after they had been scattered in pieces. This person restored the singer to their former self and the singer could never be grateful enough to them. The singer reminisces about being able to wait impatiently for this person before their love was lost.
The next few lines of the song suggest that the singer should have known that the love they shared was not meant to last, and that it was only temporary. The lyrics "Brace yourself, strength finds a place in me" suggest that the singer found strength in this lost love and is ready to face the future alone. However, the chorus of the song is a plea to the person who left to come back to the singer, and not to take their love from them.
The second verse of the song describes the singer's struggle to move on without the person they loved. It is suggested that the struggle is like walking through a strong wind that makes it difficult to keep standing. The singer's grip on the floor suggests that they are trying to hold on to the memories of their lost love. The chorus of the song is repeated but this time, the emotions are turned up a notch, as the singer describes the coldness they feel without the one they loved.
Line by Line Meaning
This puzzled look you stare to me says
You are looking at me confused, indicating that I have helped you to recover from a difficult situation
"You put me back together"
You acknowledge that I have helped you to feel whole again
Her head's down, she waits impatiently
She appears to be anxious to get on with things, and is not interested in small talk
Scattered in my heart, torn up and ripped apart
My heart is broken, and the pieces are scattered everywhere
It's ripped apart..
My heart is shattered beyond repair
And I know, I should have known
I recognize that I missed or ignored a warning sign before it was too late
By the times she looked at me
The way she looked at me should have alerted me that something was wrong
Brace yourself
Get ready for what comes next
Strength finds a place in me
I am able to find inner strength to carry on
Just wait and you'll see, you're everything I want
I know that what I have with you is special, and I will do anything to keep it
And don't take this from me
I don't want anything to come between us and ruin what we have
Wind strong in my face, I'm still staggering through
I am facing adversity, but I refuse to give up
I'm closer to the ground than I will ever get to you
I am feeling defeated and unworthy of your affection
Dirt deep beneath my fingernails, I'm gripping to the floor
I am holding on to anything I can to avoid falling further into despair
I'm searching through the world, always looking for something more
I am never satisfied with what I have, and always want something better
And these cold winter nights, without you next to me
When I am alone, especially in the winter, I feel as though I am frozen and cannot move forward
It feels like twenty below
This cold, lonely feeling is overwhelming
Frostbite on my heart
My heart is frozen, and may not be able to feel love again
This pain and suffering are feelings that you don't know
What I am going through is difficult and I don't believe anyone else can truly understand
Does it feel like, feel like twenty below
Do you understand how cold and alone I feel right now?
