Hide and Seek
Seventh Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beyond true common sense
A silhouette of all they know
A riddle on the kitchen table
Alone yet on the best of company
This game is not for everyone
Like hide and seek but not as fun
Two hearts in the search for
What? God only knows...
Will it finally show?

So confusing... Am I insane?
This old widow plays tricks with my brain
I can feel her pain, running through my veins
A feeling I cannot explain

I wanna know about the fire
And every time I look at her
I see myself somehow
In my heart a strong desire
What's really going on?
I wanna know!

Behind the polished barrier
The pending storm draws near
Although it's an inferno
You can not step back for your fears
Hurry son I need to rest
finish the puzzle you do it best
I'll do what I can
But I am telling you
It can't be done without you!

So confusing is this for real
Not a clue of what it is I feel
I can sense the joy
from this little boy
The hole in my soul starts to heal

I wanna know about the fire...

I wonder... is my blood still mine
Can't see if this life's still mine
I fear I'm going under, I don't know
if my soul's still mine, I wanna know
Just got to know
The closure is near...





(That's the last piece...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Hide and Seek" by Seventh Wonder are full of intricate imagery and mysterious hints about what might lie beneath the surface. The first verse sets the stage, introducing us to a group of people who are playing a game that's not quite as innocent as it might seem. The image of a riddle on the kitchen table suggests that there are deeper meanings and hidden agendas at work here, and the line "Two hearts in the search for / What? God only knows..." hints at the existential angst that the players might be feeling.


As the song progresses, we hear from a protagonist who seems to be experiencing some sort of psychic connection with an old widow. He feels her pain running through his veins and becomes obsessed with uncovering the mystery surrounding her and the fire that she keeps alluding to. Meanwhile, the widow herself becomes increasingly agitated, urging the singer to finish the puzzle and find the missing piece that will bring closure.
