Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet,
Sinking... Feeling...
Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes;
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and Seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years;
They were here first.
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
The sweeping insensitivity of this still life
Hide and Seek
Trains and sewing machines (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears (huh) they were here first. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/imogen_heap/hide_and_seek.html ]
Mm what you say
Oh that you only meant well, well of course you did
Mm what you say
Mm that it's all for the best, of course it is
Mm what you say
Hmm that IT'S JUST-a-what we need, you decided this (we, you)
Mm what you say
Hmm what did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs (paper word cut outs)
Speak no feeling no I don't believe you (I don't buy it)
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth (Hide and Seek)
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no I don't believe you (Hide and Seek)
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit (Hide and Seek)
You don't care a bit, no
You don't care a bit
Mm, no, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
The mean to this song is about the civil war and about some girl who was apart of it. And she said something before she died (thats why the lyrics said "what did she say? ") and noone cared about the girl because there was war (you don't care a bit) sewing machines is what she did in general. She took the train to wherever she went. (trains and sewing machines) and the rest i forgot. But this is the real meaning of this song. It took place way back.
Jason derulo is such a nub for trying to use this beautiful, yet depressing song in his own, hip-pop, annoying song. He fails my life. Nuff said. Although their is some good remixes!!!
The song is about a divorce/separation, brought on by cheating. The first two lines are the wifes thoughts, wondering what's become of her marriage. Then the next four speak of her disbelief in the situation. As for the crop circles in the carpet, it signifies where furniture once sat now gone. Hide and seek stands for the game of finding love and hoping to find it. In this case, it could be the wife looking back at what she and her husband had originally gone through in earlier times
or what she believes her husband did to find the woman he cheated on her with. The trains and sewing machines stand for their marriage: a train of a wedding dress, the machine used to make it. All those years, they were here first stands for all the time they spent together, how it came before the cheating and the downfall of their relationship. She recalls where pictures hung on the walls before the situation, and how her life just seems numb now that she's lost love. And how she won't marry again. The mmm, whatcha say parts are her conversations w/her husband and how he's trying to justify what he did, and she seems a bit sarcastic when responding back. And then finally, she drops the whole "what did she say? " most likely to show the husband that she knew of the other woman. And the last few lines are probably where the husband is apoligizing for what he had done, but it holds no true sentiment because he had still done it. And she knows he doesn't care anymore. Theee end (:
I'm pretty sure this song is about time going by, and wanting to go back. All those years, they were here first. Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover; that could mean that people remember the good times they had in a place before. Either way, i love this song.
This song has nothing to do with jason what's his face. I hate how rappers these days are taking pieces of other people's music. Have they never heard of being original?
I think that this song can have a lot of meanings, but i think that she is talking about 9/11. You notice she talks about dust falling, and a mess of people in the streets. And most of the theries that people are saying its is about is a relationship, or the holocaust, but in the end you dont notice her saying, randsom notes keep falling out your mouth, and that the person doesnt care a bit. She also sings that whoever it is decided this. So i think that she is talking about the terrists from 9/11. But that is just my opinion. This song can have lots of different meanings. I just think that it is about 9/11.
After i heard the jason derulo song with the mmm whatcha say part, i think that it could be about cheating. But then again, the holocaust meaning makes perfect sense too.
I think its about a small child who is wandering around(dust circles made by objects that were taken away and left the ring of undusted portion under the object... ), learning the ways of the world (ppl crossing the aisles of the courtroom are placed to mean "the streets where ppl rest their heads heavy... ) and also(oily marks appear on walls = little kids get hands dirty, then it was wiped off). Then, his parents get divorced, and he doesnt really get it... (ransom notes = notes/ papers claiming custody... )
but he still knows something isnt right and that it isnt fair(mmm whatcha say... Mm what did she say? = the child not being able 2 understand going from having both parents to just one or one at a time and doesn't believe that couldn't care because they both agreed not 2 c each other... )
i do, however, agree with the holocaust thing.. Very suitable...
