The song will mean different things to different people! Every song, piece of art, in fact, EVERYTHING does mean something different to EVERYONE! Imogen Heap may have written it about something completely different, everyone interprets things differently, everyone's mind works differently... Don't go bashing people for having a different interpretation of something than you do. That's what ignorant people do. And we have more than enough of those in the world nowadays. Anyway, that said, Imogen Heap is freaking amazing - she writes all her music, mixes it, puts in all the sounds, everything. I haven't heard much of her new album that just came out a couple weeks ago, but I hope it's just as good as the rest of her awesomeness :D Peace Love and Pomegranate Tea to whomever it may concern | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 um whoever thinks this is about the holocaust you are an absolute retard dude it has nothing to do with that- the fact that you would even bring that up is hilarious, dumb-ass!!! hahahhaha fucking fucktard this song is obviously about a break up BYE i agree... | Reviewer: kellie | 9/8/09 i agree with the holocust thing... if you listen and look at the lyrics. "crop cirlces in the carpet" -the nazis took all the furniture and burned it leaving nothing but the imprint in the carpets of where it was. "when busy streets a mess with people" - When they were kicked out of their homes some had to live in the streets... or when the nazis invaded, they all were in the streets being separated to go to different camps. "trains and sewing machines" -like the other guy said they were made to travel in trains to the different camps wihle some worked in factories sewing for the german armys. "oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life" -the pictures that were left on the walls before the takeover began... meaning the nazi takeover, the insensitivity of the germans. "blood and tears" -of the familys and children that had to deal with this horrible event. And the blood of all the jews that were killed it makes way more since than a break up or a divorce... amazing | Reviewer: macie | 9/7/09 I am in love with this song! i have listend to it about a million times and i just got it a few hours ago. Imogen heap is a wonderful artist and she deserves some sort of award for this song, because it seems to have moved so many people and thats what music is supposed to do. Keep writing amazing songs and know that you are a great artist!!! <3 Your all wrong | Reviewer: alice | 9/6/09 It's obviously about the halocaust. "Hide and seek" - the jews used to hide in closets or anywhere they could find to get away from the nazi's who most of the time found them anyway. "trains and sewing machines" - the Nazi's put them on trains and they had to work with sewing machines at the concentration camps i think you all can figure out the rest Well. | Reviewer: Nicole | 9/6/09 Ever since my breakup with my boyfriend (he's a dumb bastard, but for some sick reason I love him... what does that say about me?), I have listen to this song nonstop. I hope he feels like shit. This was his fault. And he lied about caring for me, he never cared. Meaning of Hide and Seek | Reviewer: Sharon Swayze | 9/5/09 I have always thought this song meant a breakup or divorce because of the "crop circles in the carpet" part. Like when you move a piece of furniture that has been there a long time and you can try to get rid of the circle but it just takes time to go back to normal. I never understood the part about trains and sewing machines but after watching silence of the lambs not too long ago I thought maybe it was about the one girl in that movie who was abducted and killed and then Clarice goes to her house and she is standing in her bedroom and looks out the window and there is a train track behind her house and then Clarice notices the sewing machine and then it clicks for her. It's about love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/09 I have a hard time believing this song is about anything but a failing relationship. So much of Imogen's other music is about love, it seems odd to interpret this song to be about "American Indians," especially since she isn't American and has no particular reason to be interested in that subject. (not to mention the very first stanza talks about carpet, something obviously associated with the modern home and NOT regularly seen in relationship with American Indians. To me, this is about a breakup. Just look at some of the diction: "pleasure moments" and "mid-sweet talk" (read 'amid sweet talk'). Then the most repeated phrase of the song spoken at the end while fading out is "you don't care bit," indicating the absolute importance of this single line--realizing the rejection. This is a song of rejection and breaking up. Anything else makes NO sense to me, especially not the "American Indian" interpretation. Regardless, it is poetry, and one may interpret it how they want. I believe this, however, was how it was written. I love Imogen's music, whatever the case. I agree | Reviewer: Camy | 8/31/09 I agree with "umm..." about it being about divorce. You guys are right that it could be about anything but that's the first interpretation I ever heard and it always made the most sense to me for every word in the song while the others where a bit more general. Either way it's a beautiful song <3 No "true" meaning | Reviewer: Lo | 8/29/09 Well, I for one doubt that it was meant to be specifically about American Indians, since the artist is English. It could definitely be about hostile, land grabbing take overs in a general way, however. It's just as applicable to the English Empire's colonization of India as the Americans taking land from the American Indians. I've read so many interpretations of this song, from the one on American Indians, to a child who goes through a divorce, to a mistress who is being left. Many musicians write with the hopes that it will mean something to you and hit home with you. It doesn't necessarily matter what they meant, as long as it moves you. Art is meant to make you feel.
