1… Read Full Bio ↴There are three groups that are known by the moniker Phineas Gage.
1. Hardcore Metal group Phineas Gage, based out of Gore, Oklahoma, has blasted on the local metal scene having put out only a three song demo in 2011. How can you go wrong with a heavy metal band hailing from a town called Gore? You can't; and these guys prove it! Check out their MySpace page to hear their 3 demo tracks.
2. Phineas Gage is a hip-hop collective based in Gambier, Ohio, revolving around three core members: MC Jersey Freeze, the Lion of Zion, and the Most Dangerous Man. While these three are the driving force behind the group, they are far from averse to collaborations, both with fellow rookies such as San Francisco's Minister of Defense and Philadelphia's AGP as well as with veterans such as Amherst, Mass.'s R-Wally and Kansas City, KC's infamous Shiples. Currently in the process of writing and producing their first songs, the group is expected to explode onto the greater Knox County scene in the early months of 2009.
Hide and Seek
Phineas Gage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We play again
And just like old times
We hide and seek
Im cool again
With hands in hand
And just like late nights
Just a game, you think
No risk no win, i blink
But is it true
If I lie to you
Surround again
We play again
And like kids on late nights (just like late nights)
We turn off the lights
We call', we fall like on same old days
We hide', we seek on the edge of the streets
And we run away, run away, run away
Into the night
So come on, let's play
I'll do what you say (and again and again)
Until aging hours make a game an end
In "Hide and Seek," Phineas Gage sings about the nostalgia of playing the childhood game with a friend, but also touches upon the underlying dishonesty that can come with the game. The first verse sets the scene of the two friends playing the game, reminiscent of old times. The next verse reveals that, like in late nights of childhood, they turn off the lights to hide. The pre-chorus acknowledges the perception of the game being just a harmless activity, but raises the question of the potential risks of lies and deception in the game. The chorus repeats the idea of playing again and turning off the lights, with a flashback to the times they would play as kids.
The second verse has a darker feel as the friends call and fall, but also hide and seek, ultimately running away into the night. The bridge invites the friend to continue playing the game with them, agreeing to do whatever the friend says until aging hours eventually make the game come to an end. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet nostalgia of revisiting a childhood game with a friend but also introduces the theme of the potential for dishonesty in the game.
Line by Line Meaning
Surround again
We gather once more
We play again
We engage in the same activity as before
And just like old times
Similar to how things used to be
We hide and seek
We conceal ourselves in a game
I'm cool again
I feel relaxed once more
With hands in hand
Holding hands with someone else
And just like late nights
Similar to how we behave at night
We turn off the lights
Switch off the source of illumination
Just a game, you think
You believe it's simply an activity with no real consequence
No risk no win, I blink
Taking risks is necessary for success so I hesitate momentarily
But is it true
Can you trust what's happening?
If I lie to you
Is it okay to deceive you?
We call', we fall like on same old days
We make similar mistakes like we once did
We hide', we seek on the edge of the streets
We hide and seek in unconventional areas
And we run away, run away, run away
We escape from our current situation
Into the night
Under the cover of darkness
So come on, let's play
Let's participate in this activity
I'll do what you say
I'll comply with your instructions
Until aging hours make a game an end
Until time forces us to stop

Üdv!
Nem tudom,olvassa-e majd egyáltalán valaki ezt a kommentet, mindenesetre szeretnék hálát adni ezúton is Pintér Daninak,aki anno kb. másfél évvel ezelőtt megmutatta nekem ezt a zenét és a bandát.
Dobálózhatnék szuperlatívuszokkal - meg is teszem mindjárt 😄-de csak annyit szeretnék mondani,hogy ez a szám azóta a hétköznapjaim szerves részévé vált és a hideg ráz minden egyes alkalommal,mikor hallgatom. Zeneileg kifogástalanul profi,a csaj hangja pedig valami zseniálisan jó. Szerelmes lettem a hangjába.
Nem tudom, aktívak vagytok-e még egyáltalán,nem is tudom,kik vagytok,csak azt,hogy magyarok vagytok és hogy nektek ebből kellene élnetek,annyira érzitek a zenét.
Köszönöm,hogy megalkottátok ezt.
Egyszerűen imádom.
