Hide and Seek
Mirrors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go if you've got to go
Leave me here if you've got to know
But don't think me a fool
No I'm not worried, no I'm not worried at all

Be sad if you're feeling sad
But don't play sad if you're feeling glad
I know you all too well
No I'm not worried, no I'm not worried so tell

Sometimes I will find I've got to be
A million miles away before I see...

I don't know why but you've got to be
I don't know why but you've got to be for me

Hide if you've got to hide
I'll only be one step behind
I've lost you once before
Cause I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose you for real

Sometimes I will find I've got to be
A million miles away before I see...
I don't know why but you've got to be




I don't know why but you've got to be
I don't know why but you've got to be for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Hide and Seek" by Mirrors is a poignant reflection on the intricacies of relationships and the difficulties that come with them. The lyrics talk about the need for space, both emotional and physical, when someone needs to go and find themselves. The singer acknowledges and respects the other person's needs, but also expresses their own anxiety and fear of losing them. The line "Hide if you've got to hide, I'll only be one step behind" shows the singer's unwavering support and dedication towards the other person, even if it means giving them the space they need. The chorus repeats the line "Sometimes I will find I've got to be a million miles away before I see" which signifies that sometimes it takes distance and time for us to truly understand ourselves and our relationships.


The second verse deals with the complexity of human emotions, where the other person is encouraged to feel what they feel, but not to fake it. The singer claims to know the other person well enough to see through their facade. The line "No, I'm not worried, so tell" is an expression of the singer's desire for open communication and honesty. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the need for the other person to be there for them.


The song's title, "Hide and Seek," is a metaphor for the push and pull of relationships. Sometimes we need to hide away and find ourselves, and sometimes we need someone to chase after us and bring us back. The lyrics tap into the universal emotions of love, loss, and the need for connection.
