hide and seek
Jeremy Larson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's our game
And our book
And our house
And our land
Our land
Our land

So I hide
And you look
But I saw you
You always start when I am ready
Now I am ready
Now I am ready

Again
again

It's out home
Imaginary house
Of blankets
And things that glow
This house is ours
The roof the towers
This bed of flowers
We sleep for hours
We sleep in
We sleep in

It's our game
And our book
And our house
And our land
Our land
Our land




Our land
Our land

Overall Meaning

The song "Hide and Seek" by Jeremy Larson tells the story of two people, presumably children, playing a game of Hide and Seek in their imaginary house. The lyrics are repetitive, with the chorus repeating the phrase "It's our game and our book, and our house and our land, our land, our land." The song is about the power of imagination and how it allows us to create our own worlds and rules.


The first verse describes the game of Hide and Seek, with one person hiding and the other seeking. However, the hider reveals that they have already seen the seeker, implying that they are not trying very hard to hide. The second verse goes on to describe the imaginary house they're playing in, with its blanket roof and glowing objects. The chorus repeats the refrain about their game, book, house, and land.


Despite the simple lyrics, "Hide and Seek" manages to capture the imagination of the listener and transport them back to their childhood. The song is nostalgic and whimsical, encouraging listeners to embrace their own inner child and remember the joy of play.
