hide and seek
Short Round Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
…….
run as fast as you can
Come out, come out wherever you are
Count till ten, start this game again
It's all part of a simple lesson
….
It's out of my mind but you've pushed the button
expect me to do nothing
reasons pile up so high
If I were you I'd be smart to run and hide
Think about what you did and what not to do again
You think that you're a brick wall
but you'll be coming down
with my wrecking ball
Come out, come out wherever you are
count till ten, let's start this game again
It's all part of a simple lesson
Will you learn to fix what's been broken
Come out, come out
come out, come out
come out, come out
come out, come out
wherever you are...>
Short Round's song "Hide and Seek" tells the story of someone who has had a particularly rough day, and is facing a lot of challenges. They are feeling defeated and alone, with nothing left but their solitude as they try to navigate their way through this difficult time. Despite this, they are ready to take on the world and keep pushing forward. The song uses the game of hide and seek as a metaphor for life, with the idea of counting till ten and starting the game again signifying the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that there is another person involved in this narrative, someone who has caused the singer pain and frustration. This person has pushed their buttons and caused them to feel overwhelmed, but despite this, the singer is focused on growth and learning from their mistakes. They encourage this other person to do the same, to think about what they've done and not to repeat their past mistakes.
Overall, "Hide and Seek" serves as an uplifting anthem for anyone going through a tough time. It encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and never give up, no matter how difficult things may seem.
