"Dust Settling", "busy streets with people holding their heads heavy" -- Possible NYC 9/11 reference "Trains and sewing machines" -- Simpler times -Industrial revolution prior to the oil boom (we didn't need oil to power them). "mmm wathca say verse" -- reference to the politics of war and the best intentions of those hoping for a better long-term outcome. "ransom notes verse" -- diplomacy, the media, and being held hostage by our dependance on oil. "Speak no feeling....you don't care a bit" -- the general disconnect and apathy with people desensitized and sheltered from the reality of a war being fought far from their shores. Could be about a break up too....war is not that disimiliar ;) Whatever it means, it's a beautiful song. holocaust | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/9/08 this song is about the holocaust. it makes perfect sense when you listen to each and every lyric [and title]. i had been trying to figure out what this song is really about and then it just clicked. infidelity | Reviewer: keri | 7/7/08 i think this song is definitely about infidelity. she didn't see it coming (what the hell? this can't be happening) and now she is overwhelmed with the feelings of anger and abandonment (the takeover) to the point of innertia (still life). the most obvious indicator is the line what did SHE say. perhaps he did not seek out this other relationship (you only meant well, of course you did) but now has fallen for someone else and decided they needed to be apart (it's all for the best, it's just what we need) though imogen does not agree with this one sided decision (and YOU decided this). only someone who cares about themself more than the other person can cheat - it's the ultimate act of selfishness, instant physical gratification at the sake of another person's heart. therefore nothing he says after the fact will make up for it, and she can't really believe anything from him anymore, it's all just words (newspaper cut outs), though every word he says cuts her to the bone and her feelings are held hostage in his every word (ransom notes keep falling out your mouth). and she knows deep down that he could only do such a thing if he truly didn't care a bit. My Thoughts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/08 At first, i hated this song i thought what the hell is this after hearing it on a tv being used (The O.C) i realised how fantastic it is since then i have heard it being used on soo many other tv shows/movies, on the saddest climaxes as it fits so well, especially the bridge of the song 'Mmm whacha say..' etc this song is literally the best most greatly written song i've ever heard, imogen is a fantastic singer, i hope she continues written and performing songs like this that are of utter brilliance cheers. x Emotional | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/4/08 If an artist can sing with that emotion and passion, it is incredible. This song takes my breath away and I think it is deep and meaningful. We may not understand this song, but Imogen does, and I'm sure that she wrote this song for herself and it isn't just a song about a random series of events. There is a strong, deep, emotional, powerful meaning. Possibly this all happened to her, but I know that she must of had a reason to write this song and share the passion with the rest of us. We may never find out what Imogen was thinking when she wrote this, but we will always know it is amazing and simply... beautiful grandiose | Reviewer: hrmm | 6/27/08 Okay, obviously everyone's interpretation of this song is going to be different. Mine--however--is that this is in the mindset of a serial killer. They don't know consciously, but subconsciously they are questioning the authority. The symbolism of hide and seek is correlating to the game. When I read the lyrics and listen to the song. The first verses seem to correlate with the individuals who are victim. Then she sings of this game hide and seek, then continues into how the family is taking this: Oily marks..... fingering printing the houses for evidence where pleasureable events once took place, now being replaced with this disturbing thoughts. Then she continues to go one about the game of hide and seek. The best part is the 'mmmm... whatcha say.....' I think that is the fight between the killers conscience. Then it continues to talk about the serial killer and how he goes about it time after time and doesn't really care about the consequence Hm. | Reviewer: Luci | 6/26/08 Ah, this is the song which brought me and my then boyfriend now fiance back together. To me this song is based on the realisation of a lost relationship or something along those lines anyway. where are we? what the hell is going on? - Cofusion, inevitably part of a bad break up. the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling - Something that was once there has now gone, and left a mark where it was, followed by sadness. 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 - Cannot comprehend what is happening, and the act of holding your head in your hands when your upset. oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life - Oily marks perhaps where a picture once was?, happy times once were, now gone. The understanding of life somewhat. Mmmm whacha say, Mmmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whacha say, Mmmm that its all for the best? Because it is Mmmm whacha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whacha say? Mmmm what did she say? - Its All for the best? its what we need? [time apart, All for the best] ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs speak no feeling no i don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a bit - The feeling of being left behind or forgotten, like the person didnt care. ect. I prefer to breadkdown a song into parts, rather than look at the whole. my interpretation may not be right. But hey =] GOOD SONG. Trippy... And musically remarkable. | Reviewer: jay | 6/20/08 This song is the shit when your high. You get embraced and raptured in the fat chords created by the thick electronic sounds. However the trippiness isn't achieved just by the variance in dynamics. The chord progressions, using strange minor identities is what really gives this song merit and genius. I also enjoy how the song is primarily freely conducted, not necessarily following any kind of time signature or meter; its as if the notes are being felt rather than played. I love it, and its really the gateway song that led me to explore more of her music, as well as her career in Frou Frou. Everything is so versatile. Dont try and give her a genre, because like her music, she doesn't conform to anything. just grateness! | Reviewer: fate | 6/20/08 oh,well i'd like to begin with clearify to who ever wrote that rap is about rape and murders that he or she could be wrong,some of the subjects that they discuss (rappers) are oftenly interesting and real.And for imogen, i can only hope that she'll continue doing music,the lyrics of hide and seek are grate! O my gosh | Reviewer: Monica | 5/30/08 I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! It is my favorite song in the whole world this song really stands out and is so different than what is coming out lately. The omation and deepness of the lyrics is what really made me fall in love with this song. I could seriously sit in my chair listening to this song just thinking about it and how it relates to me. Personally, I think the interpretation of this song is completely from your view point so I'm not going to explain what my interpretation of the lyrics are. I would like to hear what this song was truly inspired by, but that is it. That is one of the reason this song never gets old; everytime I hear it I think of another meaning. I could go on and on and on about this song so i will stop now. -MMMMMM Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   Previous 10 Pages    11    12    13    14    15    16    17    18    19    20   Next 10 Pages
