Hide Me
Joana And The Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

hide me in your arms
hide me in your arms
oh I'm scared I'm scared sometimes
oh I'm scared I'm scared sometimes

strongest of the strong
bravest of the brave
oh I'm scared I'm scared sometimes
oh I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

demons I have in my head
all the demons I have in my head
they talk to me all night
they talk to me all night

God doesn't answer his prayers sometimes
God doesn't answer his prayers sometimes
God doesn't answer his prayers
sometimes
sometimes

demons I have in my head
all the demons I have in my head
they talk to me all night
they talk to me all night

we can not be overly sure
we can not be overly sure
that the things we have will last
that the things we have will last

hide me in your arms
hide me in your arms

I can hide from demons




I can hide from you
but I cannot hide from myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joana And The Wolf's song "Hide Me" express a very universal feeling that many people can relate to. It starts off with the repetition of "hide me in your arms", which immediately creates an image of a person seeking comfort and protection from someone else. The second line emphasizes this need for protection with "oh I'm scared I'm scared sometimes", indicating that the person is feeling vulnerable and afraid.


The next two lines, "strongest of the strong, bravest of the brave", seem to be a reference to the fact that even people who are usually confident and strong can feel scared and vulnerable at times. This is a very relatable sentiment that many people can connect with.


The rest of the song deals with the main character's struggles with their own inner demons. The reference to "demons I have in my head" brings to mind feelings of anxiety and depression, which can often feel like they're taking over a person's thoughts and emotions. The line "God doesn't answer his prayers sometimes" adds a religious angle, suggesting that the character may be questioning their faith and feeling abandoned by a higher power.


The chorus repeats the same refrain, "hide me in your arms", indicating that despite all the struggles the character is facing, they still have hope for comfort and protection from someone else. The final line, "but I cannot hide from myself", brings the song full circle, suggesting that the character has realized that ultimately they are the only ones who can confront their inner demons and find peace within themselves.
