Hideaway
Embracing Vulnerability: Julia Kwamya's Journey Through Self-Discovery in 'Hideaway'
Lyrics
I always thought my feelings would be overshadowed if I let go of all the things I thought I thought I knew.
I believed that letting go of what I thought I knew would overshadow my feelings.
I shouldn't need you is the lonely chant played over and over; it pushed me further from you.
A repetitive internal mantra asserts that I shouldn't need you, pushing us apart.
I couldn't fight you cuz the words you said were actions noticed. I tried to hide myself from me and me and me and you.
Unable to resist you because your words turned into noticeable actions. I tried to hide from both myself and you.
That fear is stifling so I'm lettin go my false intentions. I guess I hoped you just knew.
The fear is stifling, prompting me to release false intentions. I hoped you could understand without me explaining.
I keep tryna hideaway, I knew you’d think I was wrong. I keep trnya hideaway, pushed down my feelings too long. I keep tryna hideaway, and I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone. I keep tryna hideaway, I didn’t think I was strong.
I repeatedly attempt to hide away, expecting judgment. Suppressed emotions for too long, anticipating your persistence.
It's no surprise to me that two of hearts; a third I can't handle. My ego seems to be the only thing I think is true.
No surprise that handling two hearts is challenging; my ego is the only thing I trust as true.
Could only see the world in filters; binding tighter and tighter; and so I never saw you.
Perception limited to filters, tightening my view and preventing me from seeing you.
I couldn't fight you cuz the words you said were actions noticed. I tried to hide myself from me and me and me and you.
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the struggle of facing your actions and trying to conceal myself.
That fear is stifling so I'm lettin go my false intentions. I guess I hoped you just knew.
Reiteration of releasing false intentions due to stifling fear, hoping for understanding without explanation.
