Hidden Man
Resurrection Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ricochet world, domino.
On the isle of independence, in the straits of hideaway,
You boomerang your vengeance through a world you choose to blame.
Fire flicker, hidden man,
You felt thunder from his hand,
Invaded by the son of man.
Healing words, breath of the Son,
No use hiding, nowhere to run,
Hidden man is overcome by the love and the light, and the blood of the Son.
You...you know the truth when you hear it,
Though sometimes you may fear it, how we need to get near it,
He...he came down from the heavens to declare us forgiven,
Without him, we ain't living.
I...I have made my decision,
I believe in the vision that the saviour has giving,
Hidden man, no more shall you be hidden,
In his light you are living, by his blood you're forgiven.
The lyrics of the song Hidden Man by Resurrection Band depict a person who is hidden and lost in their own world of vengeance and blame. The first two lines of the song depict the character's inner conflict of having a see-saw soul in a ricochet world. The song also portrays that the character chose to live in a world of independence and hideaway, but their boomerang of vengeance returns to them. The lyrics signify that this approach does not bring any peace, and it ultimately leads to bitterness and despair.
The next lines describe how the character is faced with the Son of Man, who invades and interrupts their life. The fire flicker, hidden man, feels the thunder from his hand, and the frost and dampness on his plan. This line implies that the character feels vulnerable and exposed to the presence of God. However, the next part of the song gives the character hope as they hear the healing words and the breath of forgiveness from the Son. They realize that hiding and running are not the solution, and they overcome their hiddenness by the love, light, and blood of the Son.
Overall, the song Hidden Man portrays the internal conflict of the individual who seeks solace in independence but ultimately becomes entangled in bitterness and blame. However, the song depicts the hope and the power of the Son of Man to rescue and forgive even the most hidden of individuals.

Always liked this one a lot. Great electric guitar, melody, and chord changes. Gave the album to a friend who was into Van Halen, and he liked it.

@chbradf - the message is AWESOME and you should listen to your Mother, LOL. The lead guitar work is SUPERB. But what else would you expect from Stu Heiss, one of the most underrated rock guitarists of all time.
