Hide and Seek
SLUMBERJACK feat. Claire Ridgely Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I be so lonely?
Even when we′re alone
Caught me when I was falling
No one can fix my heart
I dare you just to try

Sitting on the side of your bed like
Wide awake, I'm asking how
Love gets faded like a broken promise
Once I′ve gotta ask for more

Pick myself up, pick my clothes up
Won't think first, lock the door
Walk a mile by myself for a while, no remorse
When I tell 'em, tell ′em, tell ′em

You're not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I′m playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find
You're not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I′m playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find

With no one else to find
With no one else to f-

Where can I find the truth?
When you're lost in a body of lies
Caught me when I was falling
No one can fix my heart
I dare you just to try

You′re not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I'm playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find
You're not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I′m playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find

With no one else to find
With no one else to-

You′re not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I'm playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find
You′re not the one that I look for
When I close my eyes
I'm playing hide and seek now
With no one else to find





With no one else to find

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song describe a feeling of loneliness despite being in the company of someone. The singer talks about feeling lost in a body of lies and no one being able to fix their heart. They dare someone to try to fix it, but it seems like they do not believe it is possible. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that the person they are with is not the one they look for when they close their eyes and play hide and seek, implying that they are searching for something or someone else.


The lines "Sitting on the side of your bed like / Wide awake, I'm asking how / Love gets faded like a broken promise / Once I've gotta ask for more" suggest that the singer is questioning the fleeting nature of love and how it can slip away so easily like a broken promise. They have to ask for more, indicating a lack of fulfillment. The lines "Pick myself up, pick my clothes up / Won't think first, lock the door / Walk a mile by myself for a while, no remorse" suggest a feeling of detachment and a desire for independence, as the singer is willing to walk away without remorse.

Lương duyên ẩn mình nơi gió mây
Trôi theo phương trời người có hay
Mặc người cô đơn lạnh lẽo ta vẫn đây chờ đợi

Phút chốc vô tình người ghé qua
Ánh mắt nhốt mình không lối ra
Đôi tay ta chạm lên nét thơ ngây vô thức giật mình

Gạt nhẹ bờ mi đã ướt nhòa vì giọt mưa ngâu mùa đông lạnh rơi
