| Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Imogen's parents divorced when she was only 12 years old. (wikipedia) This song is about a child full of hurt and pain at why her parents would do this. "The dust has only just began to fall"-a fresh seperation, the dust will keep falling since they are going seperate ways. "Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling"-Where the furnature once lie, indetaions in the carpet. "Spin me around and rub my eyes"-Imogen's is telling her father to spin her around once more as when she was little, but this time rub her eyes because she is so full of pain. "This can't be happening"- a child confused at whats going on "When busy streets a mess with people Would stop to hold their heads heavy"-the child realizing all of the pain the world is in. "Hide and seek"- the girl needs somewhere to hide from the world "All those years They were here first"- the girl thinking her family has been there, and they were here first. "Oily marks appear on walls Where pleasure moments hung before"-Obviously pictures that have been taken down for the seperation. "Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's all for the best Of course it is" -This is the girl realizing that it is for the best, but she is still hurt. "Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's just what we need You decided this?" -the child has NO say in this situation and she is feeling anger because it was in the hands of her parents. "Speak no feeling; no, I don't believe you" -Her parents say they still love her and it is not her fault, she doesn't believe them. You don't care a bit You don't care a bit LOVE this song. Could be played for so many hurting children in America. |
