hide and seek
Jamie Winchester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to and nothing to do

He drew up his plans
Went to work with his hands
A million years passed by
And his work was done

And his words were these

Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in you

So she had built her elaborate home
With its ups and its downs
Its rain and its sun
She decided that her work it was done
Time to have fun
Found a game to play

Then as part of the game
She completely forgot where she'd hid herself
And she spent the rest of the time
Trying find the door

Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
Hope you find it
Hope you find it in you





There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, jut a distant home

Overall Meaning

The song "Hide and Seek" by Jamie Winchester tells the story of two beings who worked and built their lives, only to find themselves in a state of uncertainty and lost in their own world. The beginning of the song speaks of a being who lived alone and had nothing to do until he started drawing up his plans and went to work with his hands. This being worked for millions of years until his work was done, and his words were "hope you find it in everything, everything that you see, hope you find it in you". This line seems to suggest that the being built his life and found purpose in his work, but he hopes that whoever comes after him will find meaning in their own life and surroundings, including themselves.


The song then shifts to the story of a female being who has built an elaborate home for herself. She has decided that her work is done and it's time to have fun. She plays a game of hide and seek, but in doing so, she forgets where she has hidden herself and spends the rest of her time trying to find the door. The chorus of the song repeats the words "hope you find it in everything, everything that you see, hope you find it in everything, everything that you see, hope you find it, hope you find it, hope you find it in you". This line seems to be a reminder to not get lost in the game of life and the pursuit of pleasure, but to find purpose and hope in everything around us.


Overall, the song Hide and Seek is a reflective and contemplative piece that speaks to the universal human experience of finding meaning in life. It is a reminder to not get lost in the game of life and to find fulfillment in everything we do, including ourselves.
