Hide & Seek
head-shot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The road greets the sky at the horizon
I say I'll meet you there
I'll see you soon
You turn your head and simply stare
There's that gaze I miss
It haunts me everywhere

Take a look and laugh
We're only looking back
On important facts
Right into relapse

I couldn't find you
Searching for so long
Go run and hide and I'll just play along
It's so demanding
These games we play
Let's engage then turn the page
Like it's okay

This hurts me reasonably deep
But I tell myself it shouldn't
It's just a simple game of hide and seek
I go over where I saw you last
But that was then
It was in the past

I couldn't find you
Searching for so long
Go run and hide and I'll just play along

Where are you

I couldn't find you




Searching for so long
Go run and hide and I'll just play along

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Hide & Seek" by Head-shot sets up the scene for the rest of the song. The singer talks about a road that meets the sky, suggesting the vastness of the world and the endless possibilities. They mention meeting someone there, perhaps a loved one or someone they're close to, and how they miss that person's gaze or presence around them constantly. The statement "There's that gaze I miss, It haunts me everywhere" shows that the person has such a strong connection to the missing individual that they see them everywhere even if they are not present physically.


The chorus of the song goes on to describe how they have been searching for this person for a long time, playing the game of hide and seek. They talk about playing along with the game, even though they know it's demanding, suggesting that this relationship or connection may be a little challenging. The lyrics carry a certain amount of ambiguity in terms of what the person is looking for- they could be searching for their lost love, a friend, or even a deeper sense of connection or understanding. The lyrics suggest an inner conflict, with the singer acknowledging that the situation hurts them, "This hurts me reasonably deep, but I tell myself it shouldn't."


The second verse concludes the song by stating that they have been searching for the person they miss for so long but cannot seem to find them anywhere. It's a heartbreaking realization that starts the process of accepting that this person may have moved on or may not come back. The overall message of the song seems to be about the difficulties of looking for something/someone that may not be around anymore, and how we often play along with games or expectations even if it harms us in the end.
