Twelfth and Hide on a Sunday
Feeling like we're gold
And we're nothing short of invincible
It starts again, can you feel it
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that w're invincible
It's round and round
You're uninviting, unrewarding
And I'm misinforming you
[pre chorus]
We all want to be somebody
Right now we're just looking for the exit
[chorus]
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
It's you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time
You're fading now you crossed the line
[repeat pre chorus and chorus]
Reaching out for a hand that's not there
But you're not there, you're not there
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall, up against your wall
This is the way we should have done things
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
[repeat chorus to end]
Feeling like we're gold
And we're nothing short of invincible
It starts again, can you feel it
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that w're invincible
It's round and round
You're uninviting, unrewarding
And I'm misinforming you
[pre chorus]
We all want to be somebody
Right now we're just looking for the exit
[chorus]
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
It's you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time
You're fading now you crossed the line
[repeat pre chorus and chorus]
Reaching out for a hand that's not there
But you're not there, you're not there
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall, up against your wall
This is the way we should have done things
When we're up against the wall, up against the wall
[repeat chorus to end]

Great song, good meaning too. I miss Aaron though. As much as I love Daniel, Aaron's voice tied everything together beautifully.
i think this song is about the protagonist of the song making the wrong decisions being mixed in with the wrong crowd and climbing out realizing what wrong he's done and embracing god "Reaching out for a hand that's not there
But you're not there, you're not there" god's not there but god is. the protagonist made piece with god finally after recounting the events that unfolded before he realized he was on the wrong path. great song, beautiful words!(something that dallas couldn't fathom hence the explanation 4 him getting kicked outta the band)
"Twelfth and Hide on a Sunday
Feeling like we're gold
And we're nothing short of invincible"
I don't know about the twelfth part, but the Hide part is capitalized (as in Mr. Hide? Being two people?) or they're hiding their true emotions from eachother. But at this point they don't care and they're just enjoying being together. It's that period of time at the beginning of a relationship where you just feel like everything is just perfect.
"It starts again, can you feel it
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that we're invincible"
This is describing the feeling at the beginning of the relationship but he's warning the other person to not feel "invincible" because they're not. The way that they're pretending to be someone else will make the relationship fall apart.
"It's round and round
You're uninviting, unrewarding
And I'm misinforming you"
Round and round is how the same things happen between the two such as arguments, and the he's saying that the other person is not worth being around and he's giving her false signals to keep the relationship going.
"We all want to be somebody
Right now we're just looking for the exit"
Both of them want to just be who they want to be but they're trying to find the way to get out of this constrained relationship.
"This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall"
Explaining that the singer woulf have done things differently in the relationship but his partner doesn't give him room to do anything.
"It's you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time
You're fading now you crossed the line"
Sunday comes right after Monday so basically its showing how quick the love in the relationship is fading. They tell lies to stay together. Both of them know that they're lying but they're numb so they don't care. They hurt eachother so much that they don't mean anything to eachother.
"Reaching out for a hand that's not there
But you're not there, you're not there"
They're trying to find some help or some love between them but they're not there for eachother anymore.
Makes the most sense to me... anyone agree?
The song has to do with Romans 7:7-25 - the struggle with sin within oneself. In the beginning he is giving in to his desires and thinks hes invincible, only to be put up against a wall, realizing he is wrong and should have done things a different way. In the scriptures, Paul wants to do what is right, but the sin living inside of him forces him to sin and do things he doesnt want to do. He is trapped. "what a wretched man am I! who will save me from this body of death." Through Christ he can be saved from that sin that lives in him, just like the speaker in the song. Through God, he realizes the way he should have done things when faced with sinful desires his mind seeks.
just my opinion, i really thought it related to scripture after seeing the video. go watch it then read romans 7:7
As for this song, I think it's about being in a relationship where neither person ends it but maybe knows it should be ended. Instead they lead a lie, or fake relationship.
