Wrong Way To Hide
There for Tomorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanting to breathe, needing to see
Our struggles are unparalleled
Searching for an answer
We're looking to those who seem to be free
Cover it up to show the unlikely
Who could pull this off in reality?

We've had it made so far
Living off of our unanswered calls
We have grown up to be
People that we've never wanted seen
We've already been seen

The faces that you hide behind
Will only make us realize
That you can't see the problem
We've made out of ourselves
And now we only need
A second to rethink
Cause its time to do more than just stare at the ground





We're asking questions
Where answers can't be found

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to There for Tomorrow's song "Wrong Way To Hide" explore the struggle of trying to find one's place in the world while feeling trapped and suffocated by societal expectations. The opening lines, "Wanting to breathe, needing to see, our struggles are unparalleled" set the tone for the song, which describes a sense of being lost and unsure of how to move forward.


The chorus, "We've had it made so far, living off of our unanswered calls, we have grown up to be people that we've never wanted seen, we've already been seen," speaks to the pressure society puts on individuals to conform and meet certain expectations. The idea of "unanswered calls" suggests a lack of direction or purpose, and the fear of being seen as someone other than who you truly are.


The bridge, "The faces that you hide behind will only make us realize that you can't see the problem we've made out of ourselves, and now we only need a second to rethink, 'cause it's time to do more than just stare at the ground," encourages the listener to look up from their own struggles and realize that everyone else is dealing with their own issues as well. It's a call to action to take responsibility for one's own problems and make a change.


Overall, "Wrong Way To Hide" is a powerful and emotive song about the struggle to find one's identity and purpose in a society that often feels suffocating and overwhelming. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and unsure, and the importance of being true to oneself.

2015 and still love this song. I can't believe how fast time flies. I wasn't even in high school when I claimed Tft as my fave band. Now I'm a couple years out of school and will never forget the memories behind listening to this song as a kid <3
