Hideaway
Student Rick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you walk out
To the water
And you find that no one's there
Grab some driftwood
Drift away
As far as you can dream
There's a lighthouse
In the distance

Somebody calls your name
Lay your head down
Dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for your escape
(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away...

Now you've been here once before
Some things will never change
It's a secret
Don't tell anyone
No one will call your name
The sunlight starts to fall
Into the western sky
Lay your head down
Dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for you escape
(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away

You drift and dream a...
You drift and dream away

And somebody calls your name
(somebody calls your name)
And you need a place to hideaway
Somewhere so unknown
And you make for your escape

(you make for your escape)
As you drift and dream away

Overall Meaning

The song "Hideaway" by Student Rick depicts the need for an escape from the mundane world, and a desire to find a place to dream and drift away to. The opening lines "When you walk out to the water and you find that no one's there, grab some driftwood, drift away, as far as you can dream" sets the mood of the song, suggesting a need for isolation and a break from the daily routine. The mention of the lighthouse in the distance suggests a semblance of guidance and hope at the end of a journey, while the call of somebody's name adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the lyrics.

The second verse continues to describe the need for privacy and seclusion, with the mention of a secret and a promise not to tell anyone. The line "no one will call your name" is a repetition of the earlier verse, suggesting a complete disconnection from the world. The sunset in the western sky is a visual imagery that symbolizes the end of the day and the beginning of a new one. The song ends with the repeated chorus "you drift and dream away," as an invitation to the listener to join the singer on this journey of escape and liberation.

Line by Line Meaning

When you walk out
As you step outside

To the water
Towards the sea or ocean

And you find that no one's there
When you realize there's no one around you

Grab some driftwood
Pick up some old branches from the shore

Drift away
Let the waves carry you

As far as you can dream
As far as your mind can imagine

There's a lighthouse
A tall tower that emits light to signal ships at sea

In the distance
Far away from where you are

Somebody calls your name
You hear someone calling your name

Lay your head down
Rest your head

Dream away
Let your mind wander

And somebody calls your name
You are still being called

(somebody calls your name)
(repetition of the previous line)

And you need a place to hideaway
You want a hidden place to be alone

Somewhere so unknown
A very unfamiliar place

And you make for your escape
You run away from everything else

(you make for your escape)
(repetition of the previous line)

As you drift and dream away...
You gradually lose track of the world around you

Now you've been here once before
You've been in this situation before

Some things will never change
Some aspects of your life will always remain the same

It's a secret
Something you keep to yourself

Don't tell anyone
Keep it private

No one will call your name
No one knows where you are

The sunlight starts to fall
The sun begins to set

Into the western sky
In the direction of the setting sun

You drift and dream a...
You continue to float and let your thoughts wander

You drift and dream away
You're lost in reverie
