Hideaway
Ten Sleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your feet are light so steer.
We'll run through trees heads down,
the trace of steps unfound.
Branches break up falling lights,
so stay right behind a sigh.
A sense of solitude,
You know, you know this.
You know, you know, you know this.
We sit between the noise above
below the silence we think of.
The awkwardness around
has fleeted us.
A comfort unlike soft pillows,
a feeling of a home -
a place to lose it all,
intrigue the right to stop.
Hoping there's more than the places we go, we go to hideaway.
Quietly quitting and doing more inside a day
The song “Hideaway” by Ten Sleep is an idyllic tune that describes a serene and peaceful moment of being in nature with someone special. The opening lines, “Float around like you've been here, your feet are light so steer,” implies a feeling of being at home in the place they are in. They run through the trees, heads down, and leave no trace behind, enjoying the sense of solitude and gratitude they feel.
The verse is followed by a chorus that repeats the phrase, “you know, you know this,” emphasizing the idea that the feeling of peace and being present in the moment is something both of the individuals know and understand. They sit together in quiet contemplation, feeling comforted by the silence, and the awkwardness around them fades away.
The final lines of the song express their hope for more moments like this that they can share together, and the desire to preserve the feeling of peace they’ve found. The use of simple language and images, such as running through trees and sitting together in stillness, creates a sense of calm and makes the listener long for their own hideaway.

Ten sleep is a long gone project, I just wanted to comment again wondering how this song still has so little views. How the whole band in general never gained traction. Maybe it was for the better or maybe not, I consider this band my favorite little gem and I will continue that belief as I head on. I always come back to their songs because they remind me there's more to life than whatever im facing. Have not gotten sick of listening to their music just yet. Peace and love my Bros, wishing the best to whoever reads this.
(PS I got my high school senior quote from this song ah)

Ten Sleep Will Make its Way Back To The Spot Light. I Am Sure Of It. They Are Definitely Underrated.
