YEp! i was searching for a song that i heard about 2 months ago on the OC's season finale, and without knowing the name of the song or the artist, I found the lyrics to the song...IT's hide and seek, by Imogen Heap. I only heard it once, but I loved it when i did. And the funny thing is, that right before i heard it, the opening scene of that episode made me say "what the hell?" out loud to my friend, and then right after, the song came on and the first line is "what the hell is going on?" It was hilarious! So i found the song based on remembering that coincidental line. And my friend said he was gunna download it to hear it! Isn't that awesome? Anyway, here are the lyrics :
Imogen Heap - 'Hide and Seek'
where are we? what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just began to fall
crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling
spin me around 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 alive
hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines? oh, you won't catch me around here
blood and tears
they were here first
Mmm, What'd you say?
Mmm, That you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mmm, What'd you say?
Mmm, That it's all for the best
Of course it is
Mmm, What'd you say?
Mmm, That it's just what we need
You decided this
Mmm, What'd you say?
Mmm... What did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
(You don't care a bit)
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Uh-uh, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
The site i got it from has people who comment on what they think the song means, based on most of them, it is either
a) describes how a person left behind feels after someone has left them...and how a new part of their life is beginning
b)people are moving into a new house that was once lived in by other people
it's all very interesting... hmmmm
well, I'd like to hear Imogen's opinion of why she wrote it, but trying to analyze her writing line by line is alright too....I would just like to find the TRUE meaning , you know? Well, i have to wake up early...so I'm gunna try to get some sleep...I think I'll read first though...
