Hide & Seek
Marilyn Jurman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven, eight,
Nine, ten, now scream
Ready or not, here I come

Honey, honey
Lets play hide and seek
Funny, funny

How I always lose every game

Dream, find, meet, try,
Love, lie, cheat, cry,
Fight, break, now scream
Ready or not, here I come

Honey, honey
Lets play hide and seek
Funny, funny
How I always lose every game

I am spinning around and round
It's a mighty spell
I am losing my mind and soul
It's a funny trick
I am playing this game alone
It is killing me
I am losing, losing
Now I scream

Honey, honey
Lets play hide and seek

Funny, funny
How I always lose every game

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marilyn Jurman's song Hide & Seek, appear to be about playing the childish game of hide and seek with a lover or partner. The lyrics incorporate the number count-up used when beginning the game, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, now scream," followed by the playful suggestion of "honey, honey, let's play hide and seek." The repetition of "funny, funny, how I always lose every game" implores the listener to think deeper than the simple game they are describing. The chorus is then repeated, and the lyrics move on to the next verse which includes more contrasting words of love, such as "dream, find, meet, try" and harder emotions like "lie, cheat, cry."

The bridge contains the most profound lyrics of the song, describing the struggles an individual in this game of hide and seek may encounter. The game seems to represent something more as they "spin around and round, losing their mind and soul," and although it's a "funny trick" that they play alone, it ends up "killing" them. The song concludes with the chorus once again.

Overall, the lyrics to Hide & Seek showcase the difficulties that may come with relationships, with the game of hide and seek being a metaphor for the emotional turmoil and toll it can take on someone. The playful lyrics and innocent beginning with a sinister undertone at the end show the complexity of the subject matter.
