Hip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From under these darling skies, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination, oh

Where you don't complain but you still do
And you don't explain if you want to explain
What you believe you say without shame, "I just do"
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say or you do

Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination, oh

Where you don't explain but you still do
And you can't complain if you want to complain
Where you're real instrumental or supple or sexy as hell
Where you say, "I believe" or say without shame, "I can't tell"

Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
Oh, you're the darkest one




And if that's what you want
Oh, then you're the darkest one

Overall Meaning

In Hip's song "Song," the lyrics paint a picture of a place where one can come in from the dangers of the outside world and find warmth and safety. This place is almost like a dream, lost on our imagination. The lyrics suggest that in this place, there is no complaining or explaining, but rather a freedom to express oneself authentically without shame. The imagery in the song highlights the contrast between the outside world, with its thin and wicked prairie winds, and the warmth and safety found within this imagined space.


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of darkness. The lyrics repeatedly mention the idea of the wild being strong and the strongest being the darkest ones. Towards the end, the lyrics posit the listener as the darkest one, suggesting perhaps that being in touch with one's authentic self and expressing oneself freely can sometimes be a daunting, isolating experience.


Overall, Hip's "Song" is a beautiful exploration of the human desire for safety, authenticity, and self-expression. The lyrics describe a dreamlike place where one can find these things, contrasting it with the harsh reality of the outside world. The repeated use of darkness in the lyrics adds a layer of complexity to the song, emphasizing the potential isolation and fear that can come with expressing oneself authentically.
