Hideaway
Samuel Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll drop the lock and I'll
Wait to hear the Seasons knock
There's every reason to break it
Tempestuous love that I'm dreaming of
My hideaway
May try to say
No such reason to answer
Take and old me and stain it
Take a new me and smear with the dirt of my guilt
Put it on me to save it
Lean on me to smile through this lie that we've build
Let the sound become silence
Make the silence a sound that pierces my heart
Heavy stance and I'm tired
I'll take my chance
And I'll carry the weight of this
My hideaway
Will try to say
That dreams and demons are
No such reason to answer
But dreams and demons are
Every reason to answer
In "Hideaway," Samuel Brooks sings about a love that's tempestuous, full of both dreams and demons, and yet irresistible. The lyrics describe a lover who is willing to break the lock and leave the key to this lover's hideaway, willing to risk everything for the chance of being with the one they love. The song talks about the weight of the lies that they have built in their relationship, which they carry around with them, exhausted and tired.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes that the hideaway will try to say that dreams and demons are no reason to answer. The hideaway, in this case, represents the safety that both lovers find in each other's company, the place where they can be themselves without any fear of judgment or rejection. However, the dreams and demons that come with it are the issues that they have to confront in their relationship, the feelings that they must face head-on to make their love last.
In essence, the song talks about the double-edged sword of love – the beauty that comes with it and the hard work that goes into making it last. It's a reminder that the risks involved in love are worth it because love is an experience that adds value to life.
