Hiding Out
thenewno2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide away beauty
I guess I'm on the road back home
And so, I'm all alone
I know it's late enough and so
I guess I'm on my own
Everyone has moved on
I'm done hiding out
Look around and its gone
Star-like body
Give me no reason from nobody
So who's gonna bail you out
And who's gonna tell you how?
And will you feel the same ah-way?
Well it's all over now
Ooh, What is so wrong?
Going on and on
What is so wrong?
Ooh, What's takin' so long?
I guess that's the way it goes
(Ooh) I'm done hiding out
Everyone has moved on
(Ooh) I'm done hiding out
Look around and its gone
Ooh, Where are you now?
Everyone has moved on
Ooh, I'm done hidin' now
Look around and its gone
The lyrics of thenewno2's song Hiding Out seem to be about a person who is feeling lost and alone and is seeking refuge in someone else's company. The opening lines - "Come home with me, hide away beauty" - suggest that the singer is trying to persuade someone to come back with them to escape from the reality of their situation. The following lines - "I guess I'm on the road back home, and so, I'm all alone" - indicate that the singer is feeling homesick and isolated. They realize that they are no longer part of the life they left behind, as shown in the line "I'm done hiding out, everyone has moved on".
The chorus repeats this sentiment - "I'm done hiding out, everyone has moved on, look around, and it's gone" - driving home the idea that the singer is struggling to find their place in the world. The next lines "Give me no reason from nobody, star-like body" are a bit cryptic, but they suggest that the singer is looking for someone who doesn't come with strings attached or expectations. The lines "Who's gonna bail you out, and who's gonna tell you how?" convey a sense of helplessness in a difficult situation, and the absence of the person whom the singer was speaking to in the first verse is evident in the line "Well, it's all over now".
The song's chorus - "I'm done hiding out, everyone has moved on, look around and it's gone" - seems to suggest that the singer has realized that they cannot continue to hide away and must confront their situation. The song has a melancholic tone, and the lyrics convey a sense of aimlessness and loneliness. The repeated lines in the chorus make it clear that the singer has been hiding out for some time and has now come to a realization that they need to move on.

Come home with me
Please come back to my place with me
Hide away beauty
Let’s stay hidden and away from everyone else’s eyes
I guess I'm on the road back home
I think I’m headed back to where I belong
And so, I'm all alone
Due to certain circumstances, I’m by myself now
I know it's late enough and so
I’m aware of the time and the implications that come with it
I guess I'm on my own
I’m left to fend for myself
I'm done hiding out
I’ve had enough of staying away from everything and everyone
Everyone has moved on
Others have moved on with their lives
Look around and its gone
When I look at my surroundings, everything I knew is no longer there
Star-like body
A beautiful and mesmerizing physique
Give me no reason from nobody
I want no explanation from anyone
So who's gonna bail you out
Who will rescue you from your troubles?
And who's gonna tell you how?
Who will advise you?
And will you feel the same ah-way?
Will you feel the same emotions as me?
Well it's all over now
It’s finished, there’s nothing else left to do
Ooh, What is so wrong?
What could possibly be the issue?
Going on and on
It feels like this problem won’t end
Ooh, What's takin' so long?
Why is everything taking a long time to finish?
I guess that's the way it goes
I suppose that’s just how things happen
Ooh Where are you now?
Where have you gone?
Ooh, I'm done hidin' now
I’m no longer hiding away
Everyone has moved on
Others have moved on with their lives
Look around and its gone
When I look at my surroundings, everything I knew is no longer there
