Hide & Seek
The Gentleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I`m learning to walk again
As I was born again
Have I told you that
I`m learning how to speak and laugh
Is my posture right
I reached my limits
At least I think so
Have I told you how you guide me
No, I must stay quiet
I must stay low
Except in all
In everything, I must glow
I`m trembling,
No, I`m shaking
I want it all to disappear
But when you ask me
I don`t know what I mean
I`m breathing resentlessly
I`m going unstoppably
I shout before I sleep
Lead the battle with those to whom I won`t speak
Lead me lead me
Say you forgive me
Hide me hide me
Say that you love me
Take me shake me
Stop that scilence
Careful don`t break me
My head is in the box
I refuse to leave
My fantasies are dirty
Which I never dare to live
Nature, nature
I have to make room in my memory
I must learn the pattern
I must find a key or I`ll disappear
Disappear
Lead me lead me
Say you forgive me
Hide me hide me
Say that you love me
Take me shake me
Stop that silence
Careful don`t break me
The lyrics of "Hide & Seek" by The Gentleman's Song depict a sense of personal growth and self-discovery. The opening lines suggest a metaphorical rebirth, as the singer learns to walk and speak again. They acknowledge their own limitations, perhaps reflecting on past mistakes or shortcomings but also expressing a sense of newfound confidence. The phrase "acted like a king" implies a belief in their own abilities and potential.
The next stanza portrays a conflict between the desire to share their experiences and emotions and the need to remain quiet and humble. The singer references being guided by someone, possibly a mentor or a significant other, but feels the necessity to keep their thoughts and feelings hidden. This tension between self-expression and restraint is apparent as they assert their need to shine and be noticed.
The third stanza reveals a sense of turmoil and uncertainty within the singer. They describe trembling and shaking, wanting everything to disappear. When asked about their desires or intentions, they cannot provide a clear answer, suggesting a struggle with self-understanding or a lack of direction. The repetition of the phrase "I don't know what I mean" emphasizes this confusion.
The final stanza evokes themes of forgiveness, love, and vulnerability. The singer pleads to be led, forgiven, and loved, while also fearing the potential consequences. They feel trapped, with their "head in the box," and refuse to leave their comfort zone, even though their fantasies remain unfulfilled. The mention of nature and the need to "make room in my memory" suggests a desire for personal growth and understanding, implying that without it, the singer may risk losing their sense of identity or fading away.
Overall, "Hide & Seek" explores the journey of self-discovery, the struggle between self-expression and restraint, and the fear of vulnerability and potential consequences. The lyrics reflect a sense of longing for guidance, forgiveness, and love while also highlighting the importance of personal growth and finding one's own voice.
