Where You Hide
anawaty/russell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am i
Several stories high,
Knowing I?m on the street where you live.
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it?s just on the street where you live.
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.
People stop and stare
They don?t bother me,
For there?s no where else on earth
That I would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won?t care if i
Can be here on the street where you live.
People stop and stare
They don?t bother me,
For there?s no where else on earth
That I would rather be.
Let the time go by
I won?t care if i
Can be here on the street where you live,
Let me be on the street where you live.
The lyrics of anawaty/russell's song "Where You Hide" express the feeling of being completely overwhelmed by the presence of someone you love. The song begins with the singer talking about walking down a street they've been down many times before, but suddenly feeling like they're several stories high, simply because they know they're on the same street as the person they're longing for.
The lyrics then move to a series of questions about the town, asking if there are lilac trees or birds in other parts of town, or if enchantment pours out of every door. The answer to all of these, of course, is no - the magic and beauty the singer is feeling is only on the street where the person they love is.
The chorus then emphasizes just how overpowering the feeling of being near the loved one can be, and how it makes the singer feel like any second that person might appear. They don't seem to care about the stares of other people, because all they care about is being on that street, close to the one they love. The final lines of the song repeat this sentiment, emphasizing that time can pass by but the singer won't care as long as they're on the street where the person they love is.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the way that love can make us feel like we're standing on top of the world, and the way that the presence of the person we love can make the rest of the world fade away.
