hidden springs
Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will I ever get to show you this?
Always a possibility
Coming, crawling back
See, this could be easy
Yes, you undressed

Lay down your hand on my lap
Falling asleep
Just the thought of it
Just the thought of it

Falling through my open window
Bring me hidden springs
Growing from your chest
Blooming, slow down my breathing

How can anything this good end up ending good
End up in the end up ending good
Show me
See, this could be easy

Just lay down your hand on my lap
Falling asleep
To the sound of it

And we could cross the river into the trees
Just lay your hand on my thighs
In a dream
In a dream

Just lay down your hand on my lap
Falling asleep
Just the thought of it

And we could cross the river into the trees
Just lay your hand down on my thighs
And we could cross the river into the trees
Just lay your hand down on my thighs

In a dream
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream




In a dream
In a dream

Overall Meaning

In "Hidden Springs," Iris sings about the possibility of intimacy and connection with someone she desires. The first verse speaks of the hesitation and uncertainty that can come with revealing one's true feelings to another person, but the possibility of a positive outcome still exists. The second verse delves into the sensuality of the moment, with the image of hidden springs growing from the other person's chest symbolizing the depth of their emotional connection. The chorus repeats the idea that this could all be easy if the other person just lays their hand on Iris's lap or thighs and they can both fall asleep and dream of crossing the river into the trees, a metaphor for a state of deep tranquility and intimacy.


The song is full of vivid imagery and metaphors that evoke a sense of intimacy and nostalgia. The repeating line "just the thought of it" emphasizes the power of imagination in creating a romantic and sensual atmosphere. The mention of "hidden springs" and "crossing the river" suggests a deep connection to nature, and the idea of falling asleep in each other's arms implies a sense of trust and comfort.


Overall, "Hidden Springs" is a beautiful and poetic representation of the desire for intimacy and connection.

@blue5622

You're one of the few artists that make me feel like I'm listening to a song for the first time again. Each revisit is pure magic even if I had just listened to it 5 mins ago lol. And I love the way it sparks ideas and stories of my own whenever I close my eyes and let my creativity flow along with the music so thank you for that~ 💛✨ I love your styles btw, they're great! 🎀
